Cinelli Speciale Gravel 32: the gravel frameset rebuilt around 32-inch wheels.

The Cinelli Speciale Gravel 32 frameset takes the Speciale Gravel and rebuilds it around 32-inch wheels. Like every Speciale, it is handmade in Milan from Columbus Spirit HSS steel tubing, with geometry reworked specifically for the bigger wheel.

Why 32-inch wheels change the ride

A larger wheel meets potholes, roots and rocks at a gentler angle, so it rolls over rough ground and holds its speed where a smaller wheel would be knocked about. Moreover, once you are up to pace, the extra inertia helps you stay there, and the bike remains stable and calm both uphill and downhill. In addition, the longer contact patch adds grip in loose corners.

Room for 2.4" tyres

With clearance for tyres up to 2.4" (measured), long days on broken roads become less tiring. Therefore, this frameset is built for long distances and rough terrain, with the same Cinelli finish as the rest of the Speciale family.
