"Building off the success of their Hummingbird Custom, Neuhuas set out to create a 32″ hardtail and see what the big idea was for themselves. To make it all work, Neuhaus modified the geometry to fit the big wheels and utilized a 3D printed yoke to offer the right tire clearance. The frame is built around standard Boost 148mm spacing and includes sliding dropouts to allow for single-speed use."
"The geometry is built around a 490mm axle to crown measurement, which in this case is a standard ENVE 29″ rigid fork. Apparently, the 32″ wheel in a rigid 29″ fork is roughly equivalent to a 29″ wheel in a 120mm suspension fork at sag, which makes this a viable option as long as you account for it in the geometry of the build."
Neuhaus Metalworks’ Nova is a 32″-tire steel hardtail frameset built to order in Novato, CA, from Velospec American steel. The frame uses modified geometry and a 3D-printed yoke for tire clearance, Boost 148mm spacing, sliding dropouts for single-speed use, clearance for up to 2.4″ tires, a 73mm T47 bottom bracket, and a 31.6mm seat tube with internal dropper routing. Geometry centers on a 490mm axle-to-crown measurement paired with a standard ENVE 29″ rigid fork to approximate a 29″ wheel with 120mm suspension sag. Sizes M–XXL+ fit riders roughly 5'8″–6'5″, priced at $2,900, with first deliveries expected November 2025. Framesets ship with the ENVE rigid fork; 32″ wheels shown are not yet commercially available.
