32-Inch Gravel
08.10.2026
Gravel can do more. So, we’re going bigger: 32-inch wheels, carbon, and a whole lot of curiosity about what’s possible off the beaten path. Get the first look at Roc d’Azur.
What happens when you think bigger with gravel? We wanted to find out. That’s why we’re showcasing our new carbon concept bike with 32-inch wheels at Roc d’Azur in Fréjus. It’s a first glimpse of an idea that’s been keeping us busy and is set to evolve into a new model generation by summer 2027.
The large wheels immediately catch your eye. But what excites us most is what they make possible on the trail. With a flatter rollover angle, roots, rocks, and uneven terrain are easier to tackle. The larger contact patch promises extra traction and stability. Plus, there’s room for tires up to 32 × 2.4 inches. This places the concept between a fast gravel racer and a bike that feels at home on more challenging trails.
The build showcased in Fréjus combines a SRAM Force groupset with carbon wheels from Bike Ahead Composites. More technical details will follow as development progresses. Because as much as we’re excited about the new wheel size, what ultimately matters is how the entire bike rides. Geometry, handling, tire volume, stiffness, and weight all need to work together. That’s exactly what we’re focusing on now.
For Felix Puello, Managing Director of RAYMON, the appeal lies in embracing new ideas early, pushing boundaries, and discovering what’s possible both technically and in terms of ride dynamics. The concept bike gives us the space to experiment and challenge existing standards.
And it’s not just a study. For summer 2027, we’re planning three carbon models in the price range of €5,000 to €8,500. Alongside KENTHII, SORENO, and TERRIT, this will add another option to our gravel lineup. There’s still a lot in development, but the direction is clear: we’re excited to see what’s possible on 32 inches.
