KTM Scarp at the Swiss Epic: 2 details that just surprised the fans

Yes: KTM now appears with a new Scarp and the news has hit the networks. The yeast of rumors has turned into official publications of the **KTM Spada powered by Brenta Brakes** and fans are already looking towards the **Swiss Epic** with anticipation.

There is background: almost a year ago KTM had already tested 32" wheels with Mavic. That rigid project was the first step; now the brand seems to have changed direction (and competitive approach) without giving all the details.

KTM Scarp for the Swiss Epic: what we know

Right now the information comes from the social networks of the team itself: KTM Spada powered by Brenta Brakes. Visual sources show a Scarp of a new line and, following the thread of the previous project with Mavic, the key piece is the integration of different wheels and an adapted chassis.

What has changed compared to the 2025 project?

The initial model with Mavic was a 32" hardtail; this time the proposal is clearly evolved. The new Scarp maintains the competitive spirit, but shows an architecture closer to the current models in the KTM range.

How was the bike presented and where will we see it?

The presentation was on the team’s social networks and the bike would debut at the Swiss Epic. This matters because the Swiss test is a real testing ground for novelties aiming to compete under real conditions.

Why does this matter to those who ride?

For riders the key question is if the Scarp offers real advantages in racing. A bigger wheel can offer better rolling, but it also changes the dynamics of the whole; practice at the Swiss Epic will be the thermometer.

What practical effects can riders expect?

A 32" wheel tends to smooth obstacles and improve stability at high speed. However, the adaptation of the frame and suspension will determine the final behavior uphill and in technical areas.

What should be watched before interpreting the news?

Careful: images on social media show concepts and prototypes; they do not always reflect definitive specifications.

Official data are still partial and confirmation at the Swiss Epic will be the acid test. It is necessary to see how the Scarp responds to race pace, final weight, and durability in long stages before drawing conclusions.

The reality is that KTM, the Scarp and participation at the Swiss Epic have put on the table a clear bet to explore 32" in competition. This could set new trends in geometry and performance, but pending real tests. If you are looking for a novelty that could change how we perceive big wheels, **KTM** and the **Scarp** have just given a reason to watch the **Swiss Epic** more closely.
