More showstopping bikes from Salsa, Scott, Colnago, Cannondale, Merckx and Marin

We're halfway through the second day of Eurobike, the bread and meat consumption has been high so far, but we've taken a quick break from trawling the huge halls packed of this show to give you another roundup of the bikes that have caught our attention. We've got gravel bikes and cool urban bikes with integrated lights, bikepacking bikes and much more.

Scott’s Addict is well known as a race bike but for 2017 a gravel bike version is available. That’s not such a radical move; the Addict CX has been available for some time so it’s an evolution of that model, with a similar carbon fibre frame with big tyre clearance, flat mount disc mounts and internal cable routing. 

It’s pictured here with the popular Schwalbe G-One tubeless in a 35mm width, and there looks to be loads of clearance around the tyres and between the frame, and a SRAM 1 drivetrain.

The Bad Boy has long been an interesting model in Cannondale’s range, usually a stealth black bike designed for city riding and commuting. For 2017 it has developed a new version loosely based on the Slate, with a rigid Lefty fork, a belt-drive transmission and Shimano Alfine gear hub. 

It's got a series of LED lights neatly integrated into the seatpost which wills save forgetting to fit a rear light while reducing the potential for a clip-on light to be stolen.

Colnago's Prestige CX cyclocross race bike with disc brakes, and painted in one of the smartest paint jobs of the show, a sort of Mondrian theme we reckon.

This one has 2016 World Champion Wout van Aert's name on it, but will he actually be riding this disc-equipped bike in the coming cyclocross season?

Colnago has been offering its Prestige with disc brakes for a few years, but this one has the latest flat mount disc mounts front and rear, full internal cable routing and thru-axles.

Need to transport luggage in style? This Surly Big Dummy is a long-tail cargo bike with a strong and tough 4130 chromoly steel frame built around 26in wheels with space for wide 2.3in tyres. 

Salsa is still producing the Warbird, which when it launched a few years ago was one of the only gravel race bikes available, at a time when the whole gravel/adventure was but a twinkle in the eye of adventure seeking cyclists. You get a frame and fork that takes up to 44mm tyres with disc brakes, thru-axles and a full carbon fibre construction.

The new Ridley Helium SLX uses an updated carbon frame that retains the same shapes and profiles of the previous Helium SL, but a new carbon fibre layup has enabled the Belgian company to increase the frame stiffness by a claimed 15% whilst keeping the weight at 750g, about the same as the previous version. 

The fork is brand new, though, with slender fork blades that has saved some weight as well as providing a little extra compliance for a smoother ride.

I reviewed the Merckx SanRemo76 road bike a few years ago and was hugely impressed with the ride, performance and handling, and here it is with disc brakes. 

The frame and fork retain the unique profiling of the previous rim brake model, but it’s been adapted for disc brakes with the latest flat mount disc fittings with internal routing keeping the lines nice and clean. It’s also adopted thru-axles at the rear dropouts and fork. 

Want a bike for going bikepacking and exploring the hills and valleys? Salsa is displaying its Cutthroat bike with a full plethora of bikepacking bags. The bike has been updated with a new carbon fibre fork with internal routing for a dynamo hub wiring and also has three-pack mounts. 

The front triangle has been designed to best accommodate a frame pack, and there are fittings on the top tube for a top tube bag.

There’s definitely more colour at Eurobike this year, which is refreshing after the long dominance of stealth black bikes. Marin Bikes has looked to past models and recreated a red/yellow fade paint job on this Four Corners Elite, echoing some of its iconic models from the 90s. 

More showstopping bikes from Eurobike soon.
