It's a cage that's widely used here for both Syrians and dwarves.

He has a Trixie wheel, the 27 cm variant.

He's my first male syrian I really get to see grow up. I had an older one, a rescue of some sorts that has since passed on, and own three females that are adults. I am really curious what a young male is like.

He had a bit of a bar chew moment. He would hang in the corner and just...chew for about 4 minutes. Now he has resumed his normal behaviour.

Sounds like normal behaviour to me, sounds like his cage and wheel are perfect for him aswell.
You could try putting in a tissue box or two for him to explore and play with or even nest in if he feels like it.
Our first Male Syrian was quite the escapologist, he spent three days under our floor and in the walls of our house, learnt how to break open his hamster ball to escape etc, a very clever little dude indeed.
