32 inch or 60mm Max tire GRAVEL
« on: August 24, 2026, 06:16:51 AM »
Hey guys, I am thinking about my new gravel bike, based in Poland, road/off-road ride are 50/50. Initially I was thinking about a 57-60mm tire gravel bike which can do most of the work. But after Unbound gravel 2026, I read a lot about the Scott 32inch gravel bike which sounds quite interesting to me.

Now question is, should I wait for the 32 inch gravel bike or choose a 60mm tire 700C gravel bike? Anyone who owns such bikes could you share your experience?

There are rumors that UCI will classify 32" as illegal for racing. Of course, most people do not race in UCI-sanctioned races, but manufacturers often do not produce what is outside of UCI regulations and therefore the products will stay pretty niche.
