Title: Large clearance open mould gravel frame
Post by: warthog on April 17, 2026, 05:43:52 PM

Looking at a new larger clearance gravel frame to fit at least 2.1 tyres in the next year or two. >=57mm. Are there any developments in this space people are aware of?
I am aware of the XMCS that is nearly there, but they are positioning themselves as a premium product these days and it is more than I would like to spend.
Hoping that there is some movement in that space that includes more tyre space?
The current open mould frames are a bit tight on the rear tyre in particular.

 Someone mentioned on another thread that spcycle was releasing a gravel frame this year with a 55mm clearance.

Spcycle has a new Frame in the making: G028 with 700x57C front and back.
Stack to Reach about 1,46, so not that upright. But definitely in the lower price range:

maybe this is it?
