Total control, unparalleled bump-eating suspension, and a fine-tunable geometry are hallmarks of the all-new Stumpjumper EVO Expert. Top it off with a build that blends quality, affordability, and durability, and it’s the perfect trail partner, no matter where those trails are, or how rowdy they get.
All the travel in the world is useless without the proper shock tuning and kinematics. For the new Stumpjumper EVO design, Specialized prioritised kinematic performance. Applying lessons learnt while developing the Enduro, then following that with more than 1,000 hours of field and suspension lab development, they’ve not only improved the pedaling performance of the Stumpjumper, but made it more capable, agile, and lively. The anti-squat has been increased, so the suspension better resists pedal bob, and bump performance on square-edge hits has been further improved. This thing shreds trails, not your legs.
The S-Sizing geometry of the new Stumpjumper EVO is the most progressive yet. Long, low, slack, short offset fork, steeper seat tube angle are requirements for modern progressive riding. However, not everyone jibs the same way, which is why the geo on the new Stumpjumper EVO is fully adjustable with six different settings. You can adjust the BB height by 10mm, you can adjust your head angle by two-degrees, and you can make these adjustments independently of each other. Finally, if you want to go full-party mullet-mode, the EVO lets you run a 27.5-inch rear wheel mated with a 29-inch front.
Rider-First Engineered™ frames use a size-specific approach to ride characteristics that ensures benchmark handling and flawless performance, regardless of frame or rider size. Whether you’re a jump-happy grom riding an S1, or a DH-fiend giant in need of the lengthy S6, you’ll experience the same ride traits; rail-sharp cornering and balanced front and rear stiffness, at the lightest-possible weight.
Specialized introduced the SWAT™ door on the Stumpjumper in 2016, adding room in your frame for those tough situation necessities like pumps and spare tubes, and immediately rendering jersey pockets redundant. With the new Stumpjumper, the volume has been increased and a SWAT™ Bladder added, giving you an extra 22oz of water storage hidden in your downtube. That's the same size as a small water bottle.
