We reviewed the Sour Pasta Party back in 2020. This zippy, fast hardtail just got a big update, with a 32er chassis (€ 1,299,00) just announced from the Dresden, Germany-based brand. Let’s check it out…
Pasta Party 32er
The Pasta Party has always been Sour’s fast‑trail hardtail: playful, efficient, and perfectly balanced between fun and speed. Now the brand has taken that concept one step further and upping the ante. Introducing the Sour Pasta Party 32″ — same soul, more roll. These frames are built by hand in Saxony and retail for € 1,299,00.
By adapting its proven Pasta Party geometry to the new 32er wheel format, Sour has kept everything you love about the bike: the direct handling, the agility, the intuitive feel. Only now, you get all the perceived benefits of 32″ wheels.
32er Thoughts By Sour
We, as media, greet new tech with a bit of skepticism. So we asked Sour, “Why 32?″ and “How does it ride?”
Why 32?
- Superior rollover: Glides effortlessly over roots and rocks.
- More speed: Larger wheels carry momentum more efficiently.
- More traction: Especially noticeable when climbing and cornering.
- More stability: Ideal for fast XC loops and long trail missions.
How does it ride?
- Surprisingly familiar.
- We refined the geometry so that stack, reach, and weight distribution stay close to the classic Pasta Party feel — just optimized for the bigger wheels.
- The result is a bike that’s just as playful as before… only faster.
