Bike Ahead has partnered with Maxxis and Raderei Bautzen to develop a 32" gravel bike, showcasing a steel-lugged frame with carbon tubes. The bike features Bike Ahead's BiTurbo wheels, a custom cockpit, and the latest Shimano groupset. The design process was inspired by the transition from 26" to 29" wheels, leading to the Size Matters Project. The handmade frame incorporates a UDH dropout and internal cable routing, while the Columbus Futura Adventure fork accommodates the larger wheels, demonstrating the potential of 32" wheels in cycling.
