I haven't seen one in person yet but I would guess that is a conservative tire size. Their other Alpha Allroad claims a max tire of 35mm but I've seen one running 38's with mud clearance. I'm anxious to see the Able in person. This bike just won the Dirty Kanza yesterday. Being from Arkansas I might have a bias for this company. The new OPEN Wi.de looks awesome too.
All that said, I ride a gen 2 Santa Cruz Stigmata and it would be hard for me to find a more comfortable bike. If I would shopping, the new Stigmata would be at the top of my list.
