Can't find much info at the moment. Just got an email about it.
From the email:
Introducing the Wabi Prism—our newest lightweight steel fixed-gear/single-speed frameset.
We took what riders love about the Classic and the Thunder, added years of customer feedback, and created our most versatile frame yet.
Features include:
Lightweight Reynolds 725 tubing with a more compact geometry that's quick to handle and easier to stand over.
Clearance for 38mm tires while retaining the simplicity and feel of caliper brakes.• Straight-blade lugged fork for a more direct, confident ride.
Rack and fender mounts for commuting, touring, or everyday riding, but no welded cable stops!
A new head badge and logo with the same understated Wabi look.
Available in sizes for riders from 5'0" to 6'4"+ in Black, Yellow, and a limited-edition Purple.
Arriving August/September. More details to come.
With the introduction of the Prism, the Classic and the current Thunder will be retired (though the Thunder may return in a new iteration at a future date). If you've been considering either model, now is the time—they'll be available only while current inventory lasts.

Looks cool but they’re replacing the Classic and the Thunder with this?! The Classic is such a good bike… noooo
This is the exact bike I’ve wanted to see from Wabi for years but it’s crazy to see that they’re discontinuing the Classic.
That new head badge gets a solid ‘meh’ from me though.
Very nice.. good steel tubing and clearence for big tires..
I like the straight fork more than their usual curved ones.
And I don’t think them discontinuing the classic matters that much, they still have the special which is the same bike but with lugs.
I swooped in and got one of the classics on sale, glad I did. New model looks alright, fork change is sorta a matter of taste but I like curved more that straight. I’ll have to wait and see what people say about the geometry. Headbadge is slightly better than the old logo, tbh I’ll probably sticker over mine with something.
FYI There are more photos in that email and on the socials for reference.
mannn…. makes me wanna ditch my thunder – and I love that thing!! It’s just such a pain in the ass to get a front rack on that thing with a front brake. + the lack of cable stops …. mmmmm
Not a fan of the head badge but a classic with 38 clearance sounds nice
IMO is is great. I’d like to see the full geo but loving what I hear so far
Not a fan of that Ro-Tel yellow color. I wanna see this purple! Does anyone know what rack that is in the pictures?
Interesting. I wonder what the price point will be.
Bring Wabi to Europe! We want it too!
