Are 32" Wheels the Future of XC Racing? BMC Chopped Up a Fourstroke to Find Out!
Briefly

BMC is actively testing 32" mountain bike wheels with a prototype known as Project Fahrenheit at the Andorra World Cup. The BMC Impec Lab engineers have modified a Fourstroke XC bike for this purpose. This initiative is driven by the engineers rather than the Factory Racing XC team, who are only recently involved for feedback. Additionally, Maxxis is producing tires for this new size, indicating a growing interest and potential future in the market for 32" mountain bikes, with multiple tread patterns reportedly on the way.
