The Otso Cycles Waheela C Now Offered in Eight Colors

Otso Cycles first announced the Waheela C in 2019.

The brand just announced eight total colorways for 2025, including this new Seafoam & Maroon option.

Shops, if you’d like to become an Otso Cycles dealer, you can give them a shout at sales@otsocycles.com with any questions.
