Part five of our MADE 2026 video coverage checks in with seven builders and brands, starting with Ahearne Cycles and a beautifully utilitarian rigid mountain bike that blends trail riding with Joseph Ahearne’s longstanding love of touring and commuting bikes. From there, we dive back into the big-wheel trend, with Singular showing off its titanium 32-inch rigid mountain bike, Quarry Bikes walking us through the steel Alder 32 and its tunable rear-end compliance, and Manzanita Cycles sharing an experimental 32-inch drop-bar bike designed around big-mile gravel riding and the Oregon Outback. We also catch up with Sanitas Cycles to see a 32-inch version of its Root hardtail built specifically for a future Tour Divide attempt, before visiting After Hours Framebuilding for a closer look at a versatile, big-tire “dirt bike” made for everything from Portland singletrack to everyday riding. Finally, Wilde Bicycle Co. gives us a sneak peek at the Moon Bug, an affordable aluminum all-round ATB designed to handle commuting, gravel riding, touring, and light-duty bikepacking, all for a targeted complete-bike price of around $1,800. Watch it below and catch up on our other videos in the Further Reading grid.
