Which aero frames can run 32s or bigger?
« on: November 23, 2025, 05:32:54 PM »
I think I squeezed the last bit of weight weenie out with my current build and I'm thinking about the next one already. I want something aero that doesn't ride like a wood plank. Ican A9 looks like a solid bet but Im interested in anything else under $1500 or so. I was considering a Giant Propel but it looks like they are out of business in the US. And Canyon doesnt sell an Aeroad frameset.

Bump, along with Ican A9 I am liking the SPcycle R065 (Aeroad clone). My Tan Tan R5 clone has served me well so I'm also considering their Factor clone or going full generic with one of the many SL7/SL8 clones.

Bxt had two aero models with 32mm clearance. One is t47 BB (145 pro) and the other is BSA (Road 075).

Road 075 looks like extreme Noah Ridley fast geo while 145 pro is more like an sl7 geo.

Both appear to have beefy BB. Not sure about the seat stays on the 145 pro... I know you can't see aero but it looks odd. It's like the wind eye design except there isn't a hole. Road 075 had dropped seat stays with flat tops

Tideace CR068 fits 700x32, even 700x34 WAM

That looks uncomfortable though. How does it ride and how is the clearance to the seat tube?

Bumping as I want to run 35s, most likely around 36-37 WAM

I find it very comfortable but guess that's a personal thing and partly how you set the contract points up.
Should be a photo showing seat tube clearance...

Tavelo can take 34mm but declares only 32c (see NERO cycling show), VoiceVelo Echo declares 34mm tire clearance.

If you're looking for an aero frame that can actually handle 32mm+ tires under $1500, you should definitely check out the Airwolf road frames (like the YFR series):

This is not an aero frame.

I just paid for a FM126 to run with 32s - I suspect I could sneak 35s on, but I don't plan to find out for a while. Don't have the frame yet as they are just starting production, but it's light, "aero", fits 32s, and is under $1k (even less if you don't need handlebars or paint).

my Quick Blade is stated for 32 but I can even fit a measured 35mm in there. Bonus is that it's a comfy riding aero frame with relaxed geometry too!

I have one on order too.. 32c should have 5.5mm clearance according to mondince, so 4mm with 35mm WAM tires. I will run 34.5mm WAM tires on my bike.

Wow lots of great options here, thanks for sharing. Surprised at the clearance on the VB368, might be too aero for me though. Lots to chew over.
