2021 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo | Will this be my next bike? | #letsgoridebikes

Today we are riding the all new 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Expert on the awesome trails of Penticton, BC. This isn't a test and barely a first impressions video, but I have to say this bike is nothing to be afraid of. It was so easy to jump on and get up to speed. I don't think I've ever felt so comfortable on a new bike, so quickly.

Joining me today is Specialized Canada and Freedom Bike Shop.

Sounds like an ideal bike, you could keep extra contacts in that swat box 😉

Great vid. Fun looking trail. Just picked up an 21 Evo Expert and I’m loving it. Perfect for the techy front range riding we have in Denver. Came off a 2013 stumpy, so it’s a different animal to say the least. Highly recommend!

Sickest riding I've seen for a while. Loved watching the tail-whips in front of you and then when you went high-side on that rt hand berm, I flinched as if I was going to eat it! haha. great video. I could really get a feel for how quickly that bike picks up speed when you go flat-out. Very nice indeed...

Great video and awesome riding, how do you rate it against your Enduro

What did you think of the suspension feel? Was it pretty lively, or more traction-biased? How did the bike pedal? I have one on order, but I'm afraid it'll feel too soft. I like a livelier suspension. Unfortunately it's way oversold so I can't even get a parking lot demo until spring most likely... I'm taking a hard look at the Hightower too.

Nice video of you riding, but did not learn much about the bike, other than "its a really capable bike".

Ugh I can't wait until mine is built up, swapping all my carbon parts to a 2022 frame and installing Push coil front/rear.I have a 170 mm demo that is a brawler and am looking for more playful/climb friendly bike that can handle some DH gnar. How'd it handle?

Did you adjust any of the Geos on your test?
Got one of these babies on order 👊

How did it felt doing steeper / gnarlier stuff like at 4:40 ? Also curious to know how you would compare the playfulness of the Enduro vs this one ?

[spencerclark]

How tall are you and what size did you ride??

[ZachTurnerMTB]

Hey. Where about is holy diver? After eagle before rollercoaster? Is it called something different on trail forks?

[jeremyl]

How do you think the playfulness compares to a 275 since this is a 29er?
