Does Stoll have the lightest trail bike?

Das T3 SL markiert die dritte Generation von Stolls Fullsuspension-Serie.

With the T3 SL, Stoll is sending the third generation of its full suspension series onto the trails. The centerpiece is the redesigned frame with a refined look, geometry and VPP kinematics. Thanks to the latter, the rear triangle responds more sensitively and bobs less when pedaling. The frame weighs just 1780 grams, making Stoll trail bikes under ten kilograms possible.

Stoll Bikes developed the third generation of the full-suspension frame from scratch. Although the weight of the bikes from the Swiss high-end manufacturer tends to be in the lower weight ranges, Stoll offers far more than just lightweight construction. The T3 SL combines several improved features. The more efficient chassis is designed to save crucial energy on hills and during acceleration phases, and is even more responsive to bumps. The optimized geometry ensures more precise handling, which should provide more riding fun and safety on technical terrain. As always, Stoll tailors each bike to its area of use.

Lighter and more elegant

The new design language is slimmer and at the same time more elegant, even a little more playful. This is due to the weight. The consistent straightness of the down tube with even less solid material at the force transmission points enables a frame weight of 1780 grams. Every visible and invisible detail has been optimized for the physical properties of the carbon fibre.

In order to ensure a perfect flow of power from the head tube via the bottom bracket to the rear axle, Stoll have designed the main bearing points to be even wider. Furthermore, the cables are routed directly through the handlebars into the frame on the T3 frame.

Improved suspension properties, more precise geometry

Based on the proven VPP system, Stoll Bikes have carried out a complete recalculation for the T3. Anti-squat, leverage ratios, geometry, body size and areas of use were all incorporated into the development. Significantly more anti-squat, noticeably less progression and a geometry tailored to this should make the suspension unrivaled sensitive, powerful and yet more neutral to drive influences.

The geometry is deliberately tailored to the demanding rider. Stoll promises that the steering angle, seat angle, bottom bracket height, reach and stack harmonize perfectly in every frame size.

The new T3s are now available for pre-order. As Stoll produces to order, there is currently a delivery period of twelve weeks.
