'Big wheels, big tyres, let's roll!' – Canyon builds LeBron James a custom 32-inch gravel bike

LeBron James on his custom 3XL Canyon Grizl with 32" wheels.

Earlier this week, LeBron James teased his newest Canyon bike on social media, and eagle-eyed observers were quick to note how proportional the 6-ft 9-in, 250-lb basketball star looked on it. That could mean only one thing: 32-inch wheels.

And indeed, Canyon Bicycles has now confirmed that it has made a custom Grizl for James, pairing a custom 3XL frame with 32-inch DT Swiss wheels. It is Canyon’s first gravel bike built around the emerging wheel size, and James could hardly be better suited to testing it.
