The Fidlock Hip Pack with magnets instantly became my go-to choice. I’m picky about hip packs—like the princess and the pea.

Imagine a gravel bike that dares you to take it anywhere—across terrain so wild, most wouldn’t even call it gravel. That’s what OPEN delivers as it unveils the WI.DE. 2.0 at Sea Otter: bigger tires, more storage, and the same fast DNA that set the original apart.
