"German steel bike maker Sour has just given their popular Pasta Party XC hardtail a 32″ upgrade. Dubbed simply the Pasta Party 32, it reimagines their versatile cross-country bike for even faster speeds and better rollover with the up and coming bigger wheelsize. Alluding to how their customers build up their Pasta Parties for everything from backcountry bikepacking rigs to racy trail shredders, Sour describes the bike as "bigger wheels, same party energy"."
"While 32″ wheels continue to draw in those looking to innovate, the real world availability of such 32-specific components like wheels, tires, and suspension forks continue to be a limiting factor to broader adoption of this fast-growing wheelsize. So, it's especially interesting that this new Sour Pasta Party 32 debuts 3 new 32″ products that have never been seen before:"
Sour released the Pasta Party 32, a 32-inch-wheeled version of its Pasta Party XC steel hardtail aimed at faster speeds and improved rollover. The bike targets riders who convert Pasta Parties into everything from backcountry bikepacking rigs to racy trail machines and retains the original model's core character. Sourcing 32-specific components proved challenging, so Sour worked with industry partners to bring three new 32" products to market: a Manitou MRD R8 32" prototype fork with 120mm travel, Reynolds A32 aluminum XC wheels, and 32 x 2.4" Schwalbe Rick Race Pro XC tires. The design draws some inspiration from the Trail-rated Crumble hardtail to handle rougher terrain.
