The conversation around 32 inch wheels is growing quickly. But meaningful progress requires more than speculation. It requires rideable platforms, real testing, and true collaboration between the components that define a bicycle. At Reynolds, innovation has always been driven by performance on the trail, not theory alone. From industry first composite breakthroughs to decades of wheel development at the highest levels of racing, Reynolds has consistently embraced new challenges with a rider focused mindset. The emergence of 32 inch wheels represents exactly that: a new frontier.

Based in Dresden, Germany, Sour Bicycles is one of the first builders to bring a fully developed 32 inch mountain bike platform to life: the Pasta Party 32″. Unlike large scale manufacturers constrained by the cost of carbon molds, Sour’s hand built approach allows rapid iteration and precise development. That flexibility makes them a perfect collaborator in defining what this new wheel size can truly become.
