BIG wheels. BIG history. 🌈
32-inch DUKE wheels are World Champions.
On Saturday in Fiera di Primiero, , rider for , won the 2026 UCI Mountain Bike Marathon World Championships aboard the Scarp Evo 4 32 Prototype, equipped with DUKE Lucky Jack SLS5 32”RC-1 Edition (with the new RC-1 PBO spokes) wheels.
95 km. Around 4,000 metres of climbing. And a rainbow jersey at the finish.
Earlier this year, Felix Stehli gave our Lucky Jack 32” its first major racing success with a stage victory at the Cape Epic.
Now Andreas takes it one huge step further: our first overall victory on 32-inch wheels — and the first World Championship title ever won on a 32-inch bike.
When we introduced our 32” range, we said one thing very clearly: we don’t know whether 32” will replace 29”.
But one thing is no longer theoretical: 32” can win at the highest level.
The Lucky Jack SLS5 32” was developed specifically around the demands of the larger diameter, not simply scaled up from a 29” rim.
• 360 g / i31 front for XC
• 400 g / i31 front for demanding XC
• 410 g / i29 rear
• 28 spokes
• SLS5 carbon construction
• From 1233 g in RC-1 Edition
Congratulations Andreas, Singer KTM Racing and KTM.
A very BIG result for some very BIG wheels.
