32-Inch Bikes Make Their World Stage Debut at the Absa Cape Epic

"Swiss racer Felix Stehli of Team Honeycomb 226ers is racing his Stoll Bikes P32, making him the first to race 32-inch wheels at the Absa Cape Epic. This is arguably the highest-profile race where we've seen anyone riding the big hoops so far."

"In addition to the Stoll P32 being a lightweight carbon full-suspension bike with 100/100mm of travel and 32-inch wheels, one thing that really caught our eye in this video is the Flight Attendant-equipped Intend fork and shock. This is the first time we've seen RockShox's proprietary Flight Attendant system in use on another brand's suspension."

"Whether or not the 32-inch wheels of Felix Stehli's Stoll P32 are providing him with a performance advantage remains to be seen, but it is telling that the young Swiss rider chose to ride it in such a grueling event like the Absa Cape Epic."

Felix Stehli of Team Honeycomb 226ers is competing at the Absa Cape Epic on a Stoll Bikes P32, becoming the first racer to use 32-inch wheels at this high-profile event.
