Stoll is putting the 32-inch models into production
With the launch of the P32, Stoll Bikes has reached an important milestone on the occasion of its tenth anniversary. The development team has thus demonstrated its dynamism and achieved a significant breakthrough in mountain biking. The company’s many years of experience in developing high-end race and trail bikes, combined with its European production facilities, have laid the groundwork for the successful launch of this model, as announced for this year. This makes Stoll Bikes one of the first brands to take this step. The P32 enters series production with a frame weight of 1,880 grams and is available in two versions: a race model with 100 millimeters of travel and a trail model with 120 millimeters of travel. With a total weight of 10.2 kilograms, the complete bike demonstrates that the latest generation of Stoll models can be lighter than many current race bikes with 29-inch wheels. Like all Stoll Bikes models, the P32 is custom-built to order. The configuration examples shown are intended as a guide. Customers receive personalized advice on the specific options available. The company continues to rely on proven partnerships with suppliers, which is why the example configurations are based on familiar components and tried-and-true solutions. During the development of the lightweight carbon frame, special emphasis was placed on a fiber-optimized design. The higher gear ratios increase the forces at work and thus also the demands on production. The experience and development steps of the predecessor models are evident in numerous details. Thanks to appropriate design measures, the longer frame was realized with a further improved stiffness-to-weight ratio. The P32 is also intended to convey the direct responsiveness typical of Stoll Bikes in its handling. However, the geometry cannot be directly compared to the values of 29-inch bikes, as the design requirements differ significantly due to the large wheels. For this reason, not all geometry data is published. Instead, Stoll Bikes offers a size recommendation, which can also be seen as an invitation to a personal test ride. Stoll currently estimates a delivery time of three to four months.Incidentally, the first carbon frame from Stoll’s production line is already at the start of the Cape Epic in South Africa. Swiss rider Felix Stehli is riding the P32, while his teammate Marc Pritzen is riding the M3. stoll-bikes.com
