BETTER THAN THE ENDURO?? - 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert review!

Today I thought I'd show you the new bike! It's a Specialized Stumpjumper Evo expert, and I've had it since November. I've done a tonne of riding on it and have found it to be a great machine! Here's what I love about it and what I don't!
Happy trails everybody!

Dope bike bro, I personally really like what they did with the bike. Sorry bout your shin in the beginning 🤣

[milktop]

I also came from an enduro. I love this bike. Way more playful

Great video, I currently have an enduro and am wondering how the climbing and descending compares?

Hey great job with the review.. I’m 6ft and stuck between s4 & s5. I’m gonna have to test the back to back on trail to be sure. I’m coming from a Large beefed up Mega at 170 & 166 travel with the cascade link & ZEB fork.

Same kinda thing I’m moving away from my super enduro bike to have a more all mountain enduro bike that’s more fun and still mostly capable. Just almost feeling like the S4 is a smidge small and the s5 is a smidge large 💆🏻‍♂️

What a view bro the bikes not to shabby either 😉.

My ”normal” sworks stumpy 2018 (same frame design) runs a coil np at all!

Im just getting into Parks. I currently ride a Stumpy Comp carbon 140mm travel. But THinking to get an enduro or a evo pro. Lmk what you think! Im fairly advanced, definitely not expert or pro!

[JimmyBeanz]

use shoe goo, it holds it on but will come off if ever needed.

[wesstaff]

how tall are you? I'm trying to figure out if I should go s4 or s5. Thanks!

What did you end up doing with the chain stay protection that was peeling, i’m having the same problem. Btw I have the exact same bike and it’s the best bike i’ve ever ridden absolutely amazing.

[christopherfeliciano]

Great review! What’s your height and weight if you don’t mind me asking. I’m 180 cm and weigh 91 kg. I can’t decide between the S4 and the S5.

[TheDirthound]

Do you think the bike would be affected at all by running 150mm up front? I'm planning on running Push coil front and rear.

Hey Taylor, have you had any issues with SJ EVO chipping the paint/carbon on the lower chain stay right near where the chain comes back onto the chain ring? Kind of near where that rubber flap has come unglued. I’ve seen a couple of photos on forums which have the stay a bit chain chewed

[michaelangelo]

Great looking bike! How does it climb? Debating between this and the Stump expert

[SnowShackboy]

Did you ever end up trying a coil on that bad boy?

[hb]

Do you think an S5 would be too small for someone who is 6'3" (190cm)?

[igger]

What’s the max tire size for this model?

[a.l.]

Very expensive plastic. Skip specialized.

I don't know . I tested a stumpjumper evo and it pedaled like sh!t uphills. The Enduro was way easier to climb, even with the extra weight.
