PASTA PARTY
When we introduced our Pasta Party in 2021, we hoped it would be popular. Nowadays it has become almost the most popular model we sell… honestly, we shouldn’t have been so surprised, this bike shreds!
The Pasta Party is the bridge between our Purple Haze and the Crumble, or maybe the glue that holds them together… who knows! While both the Purple Haze and Crumble are down for a party as well as buckling down and getting down to business, the Pasta Party is the ultimate kilometer-eating, tire shredding, XC racer ready for all the adventures.
We built the Pasta Party to be a thorough-bred with a wild hair. Pare the bike down with lighter components and fast tires and this thing will rock local XC Fight Club races. Or dress it up with some more adventure gear and chunky tires and send it all the way to Kyrgyzstan.
What makes this bike so special? A modern XC-based geometry paired with our very own passion for trail riding and adventures. A made-especially-for-Sour tubing set and custom bits all over the frame makes the Pasta Party truly a unique frame.
All of this, handmade!
Please note:
- All frames are made in Germany in our workshop now.
- Production will happen on a quarterly basis with delivery times being between 8 and 12 weeks.
