In Neil's Salsa Fargo 32 review, he shares feedback on the company's attempt at fitting this new wheel size into a beloved model...
Carries speed and momentum extremely well
Rolls over obstacles better than smaller wheels
Great for long-distance riding and bikepacking
Stable and planted at speed
Full-size run (S–XL) is rare for a 32″ platform
Practical frame features (mounts, threaded BB, external routing)
Solid weight for the complete build (23.8 pounds)
Not very playful, prefers to track straight
Harder to maneuver, especially in tight terrain
Slower acceleration from a stop
Climbing at low speeds feels more demanding
Gearing feels off, especially mid-cassette
Stiff ride quality, lacking vertical compliance
Limited 32″ parts availability at the time of publishing

The new Salsa Fargo may not be a full overhaul, but we're not sure the Fargo really needed much updating, anyways.
