Yesterday, Trek Bikes and Trek Factory Racing posted a short teaser video on Instagram with the caption, Something big is coming. In the video, World Cup XC racer Evie Richards is riding what appears to be a full-suspension XC race bike with 32 wheels. This isnt the first time weve seen this bike, however, as Trek slipped it into their own documentary earlier this year. While that looked like a prototype, the bike that Richards is riding appears to be production-ready. View this post on Instagram While Trek has not confirmed a production 32 XC bike yet, something big certainly alludes to it. And, as we know, the 29 flex-stay bike the Trek factory Racing team has been riding all season was never going into production. Instead, it seems the team at Trek has been focused on our potential big-wheeled future and is likely to be the first mainstream brand to market with a production 32 bike. Is this the new Supercaliber, or will they call it something different?The 32 prototype we spotted in the Trek documentary.Based on the Instagram video and our blurry screenshots, this bike appears to use a single-pivot flex-stay design with a layout that looks nearly identical to the 29 bike the Trek team has been racing this year. If its a race bike, then its definitely carbon fiber, and the Project One on the frame means that it will likely be part of Treks customization program.Is that a RockShox 32 fork? Sure looks like it.It also appears that the bike has a SID Flight Attendant fork, which means that its also likely that RockShox will be launching a production 32 fork soon, too. Obviously, SRAM/RockShox have been working on something, but this is the first weve seen of any 32 forks from them. It also seems that Trek has managed to scale its 32 platform to fit smaller riders Evie Richards is 53 meaning this bike and its larger wheels wont be exclusive to taller riders. Obviously, it also has a significantly negative-rise stem and potentially an integrated bar-stem combo, too..?Regardless, Trek is actively feeding the hype machine, and it will be interesting to see exactly what this new bike is and when it comes out. Were certainly looking forward to checking it out when it does. Stay tuned.And the Big RevealOf course, while we were publishing the article above, Trek posted another Instagram video with the caption 32 wheels have landed. In it, a Trek mechanic is building up one of Trek Factory Racings 32 prototypes, which will be raced for the first time at the World Cup in Soldier Hollow, Utah, this weekend. Check out the video below, and especially the 32 RockShox SID Ultimate Flight Attendant. Sure looks production-ready to us. I guess we all need to tune in to the XC racing action this weekend to see how Treks new 32 XC race bike fares on the course. Well definitely be watching. View this post on Instagram
