Bespoke Bike Makers Bet on 32-Inch Wheels for Proportion and Pace
At Bespoked, the world’s biggest handmade bicycle show, builders are embracing 32in wheels as a proportionate option for taller riders, delivering a smoother ride and sustained momentum—though not a fit for twisty trails—while brands like Singular Cycles, Baum Cycles, and Stout Cycles debut 32in or mullet setups. Pro wins have boosted interest, but with few 32in options and the need for a new axle standard, mainstream adoption remains a niche but rising trend.
