It is the time for small, flexible bike manufacturers to be the first to jump on the 32-inch bandwagon. Swiss manufacturer Stoll was one of them, launching its 32-inch project back in July 2025. Less than two months later, the first carbon/aluminium prototype was already standing on large tyres. We were able to test the 32 prototype extensively against a 29er and determine all the relevant data.
Stoll is now showing the first photos and details of the bike, which is due to go into series production in 2026. The carbon frame is said to weigh 1750 grams and is available with either 100 or 120 millimetres of suspension travel. The new 32-inch wheel size is used at the front and rear, with tyre clearance of up to 2.4 inches wide.
As with all Stoll bikes, production is carried out by carbon specialist Bike Ahead in Würzburg. The timeline for the first delivery of the pre-orderable bikes is scheduled for April 2026. Four equipment variants are planned at prices between 9500 and 14,000 Swiss francs.
The standard frame of the P32 should be around 1.75 kilos lighter than the prototype we rode. In the lightest equipment version for an impressive 12,500 Swiss francs, a total weight of just 10.9 kilos should be possible. Interested parties can book a test drive with Stoll to experience the driving behaviour for themselves.
The Swiss are convinced that the new wheel size will permanently change the sport of MTB and push the boundaries. After extensive testing, Stoll is certain that the advantages of the new 32-inch wheels are indispensable for ambitious athletes.
Despite the innovation in the wheel size, Stoll also relies on proven features on the P32. An optional storage compartment in the down tube can be ordered for an additional CHF 450. The cables are neatly routed internally through the headset with steering stop.
The P32 is available in two versions, offering either 100 or 120 mm suspension travel on the front and rear wheels. An Intend 32 upside-down suspension fork, which was specially designed for the large 32-inch wheels, is used throughout the four equipment variants. The choice of tyres is currently limited to the Maxxis Aspen in the 32×2.4 inch size. The matching wheels come from Bike Ahead and PiRobe, among others, in combination with Duke Lucky Jack rims.
While the complete bikes are equipped with brakes from Shimano or Trickstuff, all variants are exclusively equipped with a radio-controlled Sram Transmission AXS. A Sram XX or XX SL power meter can be optionally configured for an additional CHF 300 or CHF 480 respectively. In terms of frame sizes, Stoll is currently only focussing on sizes M and L, although the feasibility of a size S is still being examined. The available frame sizes have a reach of 468 or 500 mm and come with an effective top tube length of 630 or 660 mm. Stoll is not currently communicating any further geometry data on the website. Overall, Stoll wants to be able to offer riders between 170 and 192 cm tall a suitable frame size.
