32in wheels have been a big talking point over the past year, with interest seemingly increasing by the week. Nowhere is that attention more centred than at the Taipei International Cycle Show, where the OEMs will decide on cyclings future wheel size. While many brands have new forks on display in Taipei, X-Fusion went behind the curtain and pulled out its unreleased Rezza 32er and G.E.T. 32er for us to see. We got a glimpse of the the X-Fusion Rezza 32er at the Taipei International Cycle Show. Nick Clark / Our Media The Rezza 32er is an XC fork that is said to have up to 130mm of travel and, when viewed side-by-side, looks to dwarf the 29in version. The Rezza is aimed at cross-country racing. Nick Clark / Our Media With its focus being cross-country racing, it could be a hint that well see a further push towards longer-travel bikes in the future, increasing from 120mm to 130mm. The new fork employs 34mm stanchions. Nick Clark / Our Media It uses 34mm stanchions, the same as the 29in fork, and it looks to share similar architecture. It features compression adjust and a lockout on the crown, but we couldnt squeeze any more information out of X-Fusion at the stand in Taipei. G.E.T. stands for Grand Epic Trail. Nick Clark / Our Media The G.E.T. 32er is a gravel fork, and looks similarly large when compared to the 700c option. Like the Rezza, it shares a similar architecture to the 29in fork, uses 30mm stanchions and has up to 50mm of travel. Like the birth of 29in, these bad boys are called 32ers. Nick Clark / Our Media It looks as though X-Fusion has hedged its bets on 32in wheels, but only time will see which direction the industry takes.
