A Classic Updated! | The New Stumpjumper 15! #mtb #specialized

The Specialized Stumpjumper was the original production mountain bike, hitting the market some 43 years ago. Since then, it has remained a key bike in the Specialized lineup, and has continued to represent the modern standard for a trail mountain bike with every new iteration. For generation 15 of the full suspension Stumpjumper, the looks remain every bit “Stumpy”, but thanks to some new tech and refinement throughout, performance has kicked up a notch once again.

Love reading all the criticisms when something new comes out, from people that haven't ridden it.

[captnhuffy]

Thanks for the review. You guys do an excellent job of giving impressions, and often times give great tech info too..
I'm riding my 3rd Stumpy now. 9 mtn bikes, so far, and a third of them Stumpys because they are totally AWESOME. The Evo's plush was appreciated, but pedaling suffered greatly.. then add the pedal strikes, which were on occasion very dramatic (bad crashes.) I finally got used to the lack head tube / handling on the Evo.. but the plush ride wasn't worth the trade off, so I'm back on a std Stumpy.
I was thinking that the turbo levo may be my next bike, but I'm still in okay shape for an "old guy", so I will likely get a Stumpy 15 before I go electric.
I still want the high intensity sections in my rides, and think that eMtn would eliminate that health benefit. Shrugs, I really don't know.

Nothing here that makes me want to replace my “Steveo” thankfully. No mech cable routing is a colossal blunder

Great comprehensive review, great content. Sweet bike! Got previous AND enduro, spesh makes great bikes wether u like it or not

I was so excited about a new Stumpjumper and I am actually in the market for a new trail bike. The Stumpjumper 15 Comp would be an amazing option checking more boxes than I will ever need but…no one wants a battery powered transmission. I will wait for the cable actuated derailed option next year.

Great introduction. Isn’t 2.3” tire a bit narrow for the modern trend?

[tobiasbuschbacher]

Seat tube angle on the old is listed as 76, 9 vs 76, 5 on the new Bike, both S4 in the "standard" configuration. Did I miss something here or has it gotten slacker? I would be keen to try, owning the last gen Stumpy evo an loving it.

Can you review the new Dartmoor Rocbird enduro frame? Thanks

I can't wait for next year when they drop in price lol

[leeretaschen]

So the new Stumpjumper has a proprietary rear shock, requires an expensive battery powered SRAM drivetrain (no Shimano) and the base model starts at $5500. Yep, sounds like Specialized.

[danielpatino]

is the dropper insertion depth little deeper than the previous version? that's the only complain I have about by stumpy Evo, I cant fit a 200mm dropper in it.

[mitchsargent]

Great video! How does the shock compare to other shocks with a piggyback?

[tainted]

Seems like an awesome bike that I'd definitely be interested in if I did have Stumpy Evo.
I wonder how the Genie would go in the previous

I MegNeg'd my ebike and it was night and day.

I’m assuming there will be an alloy version. I’ve seen a video about fox’s new dropper post and I think the bike shown was the stumpi 15 alloy version. So hopefully the alloy version is more affordable.

Review says he liked running no tokens and says he's not bottoming out? I'm 190lbs and can bottom out stock 1 outer band and the stock .2 main chamber just by bunnyhopping in my driveway. Now at 2 bands and green main chamber (I think 0.4) which is huge improvement and will trying 3 bands in outer to keep it riding higher in the travel.

[sfade]

In this bike market they are charging those prices? ...and require you to have batteries to work your bike? Have owned over 22 bikes and never a Spec and I guess that will cont.

[justjules]

In my opinion, the “new” bike is not an innovation from Specialiced.
If you look closely you will see a lowered >Epic< with standard trail/enduro characteristics.
but it looks damn nice, even if the wireless issue also bothers me...

[miyui]

they made the best success in status, now they made their stumpjumper into one

[KYMXRacer]

Can anywhere explain how they are able to run a coil when this model has less progression than the previous EVO? People were already needing to use a cascade link or something akin to Rockshox HBO to keep from frequent bottom outs.

[LaurentiusTriarius]

It looks small also got emtb vibes, it would probably just need a cutout?! 😅

I'm not a huge spechializer fan from the start but I don't trust the Spech/Fox shock, give it a season or two before buying in my opinion that nobody asked for.
Wireless shifting only.
Definitely a future ebike platform 😂
