A Scott 32-inch aero gravel bike prototype is scheduled to debut at Unbound gravel racing, aiming to demonstrate that larger-wheel rollover can increase speed on off-road courses. The design uses a new carbon frame and fork created in-house, avoiding external suspension providers and complex moving parts. Cameron Jones, a 2025 Unbound winner and 2025 Lifetime Grand Prix overall winner, will race the bike in the 200-mile event again. The bike is described as feeling like levitating over the surface, with driving traction and cornering grip described as revolutionary. The front wheel height creates a longer fork and a steeper downtube slope, paired with a short, forward-extended headtube and integrated aero shaping.
"Scott's new 32″ aero gravel bike prototype is set to shake things up. Set for an Unbound gravel racing debut this weekend, the Scott Racing Project hopes to show that big wheel rollover improvements can boost speeds for any off-road racing. And without the need for external suspension providers or complex moving parts, Scott just had to create a new carbon frame and fork themselves..."
""This bike makes you feel like you're levitating over the surface. I'll be experiencing a road race while everybody else is racing gravel! The driving traction and cornering grip is revolutionary. I'm genuinely scared how fast I'll be able to corner once on a course with proper descents." - Cameron Jones"
"At first glance, it almost looked like a Dangerholm project bike with the massive, wide tires and wheels and a slammed cockpit. But no, this is certainly an all-new carbon prototype. And after we haven't seen a new gravel race bike from Scott in a few years, it kinda looks like an all-new, more aero design."
"With the taller front wheel meaning a longer fork and a steeper slope to the downtube, Scott has given their 32″ gravel prototype a short, forward-extended headtube like we're used to seeing on their mountain bikes that also have to accommodate higher front ends. The result is that this 32″ Scott gravel prototype gets a long front end, with sleekly integrated aero shaping coming off the for"
