\"Specialized<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Evolved to meet the demands of modern riders, the Stumpjumper<\/strong> delivers unprecedented control, capability and adjustability, along with unexpected climb-ability. It tames any terrain from treacherous jank to progressive high-speed flow and modern big hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re lucky to be riding during the Golden Age of mountain biking. With unprecedented popularity, access to more trails than ever before and riders that are progressing and nailing what was previously impossible. The new Specialized Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> is the edge you need. In the eye of the storm, you\u2019ll be zen in the middle of the mayhem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Control and Capability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> brings control and capability to every rider, every style, in every trail scenario. This bike serves up so much control, you can challenge yourself on lines you\u2019ve never even seen before. And in those inevitable pilot-error situations, the Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> is your auto-correct for blown lines and your insurance policy for misjudged hucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geometry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Available in six style-specific sizes, the Specialized Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> sets the benchmark for progressive trail geometry, delivering DH capability never before found in a 150mm bike alongside lively climbing manners. How did Specialized<\/strong> achieve this? The generous cockpit gives you all the room you need. Centring you on the bike, delivering optimized traction and corner control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough while giving you the freedom to destroy the turns and nail the inside lines. A steeper seat tube optimizes power output and puts your weight over the front while climbing. All whilst the short chainstays keep things supremely flickable and nimble.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S-Sizing – Sized for Your Riding Style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

S-Sizing<\/strong> is style-specific sizing, meaning that now you can choose your frame size based on complementing your own personal riding style. Specialized<\/strong> allows you to choose your frame based on your needs, not just your inseam. Two riders might be of the same stature but have totally different styles. The poppy rider who flicks their bike around the trail will be even poppier on a smaller bike. The rider who smashes rocks at speed will plough and smash with conviction on a longer bike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Determining your size is easy, as each of the sizes from S1 to S6 correlates to a previous size. For example, if you rode a Medium before, then S-3 will be your equivalent size. However, if you want a quicker, more nimble ride, you\u2019d drop down to an S2. Want a bike that\u2019s more stable at speed or in the rough? Bump up to an S4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjustability\u2013Six Geo Settings to Match Style and Terrain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Specialized<\/strong> set out to create The Ultimate Trail Bike, meaning the Stumpjumper<\/strong> has to work for any rider style in any terrain. That\u2019s a big ask. The way they deliver is through the most adjustable geometry they\u2019ve ever offered on a trail bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Head Angle is adjustable between 63 and 65.5 degrees via unique eccentric headset cups with three settings. So, whether you\u2019re riding steep and deep, low-speed technical, or something in between, you can tune your Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> trailside in minutes to match the terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep your centre of gravity down and thereby keep stability high, the Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong> bottom bracket is always low.  But now you can fine-tune BB height by 7mm by swapping the Horst link chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we all know, Mullets are a thing these days. Not the hairstyle, we\u2019re talking about a mixed wheel adaptable setup (27.5\u201d rear wheel and a 29\u201d front). The larger front wheel provides traction and stability while opting to run a smaller rear wheel can heighten responsiveness and also give more physical riders a touch more room to get aggressive without hooking their shorts on the rear wheel. Specialized use a different, aftermarket shock link to achieve The Mullet with the Stumpjumper EVO<\/strong>, this is done to retain the handling, geometry and suspension characteristics that enable the rest of the package to shred so assertively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Suspension:<\/strong> The EVO\u2019s<\/strong> 160mm front travel and 150mm rear feels bottomless on big drops, supple on small bumps, devours square-edged hits, yet still manages to pedal responsively and climbs like a lightweight. The key ingredient Specialized<\/strong> used here is Rx Tune - <\/strong>your prescription for fast. Their team of engineers and technicians toiled to develop every aspect of the Stumpjumper\u2019s<\/strong> suspension into an optimally performing singularity. Chassis design, telemetry, wheel rates, spring curves, custom shim-stacks, oil viscosity - front and rear suspension obsessed over, prototyped and tuned to deliver optimized and balanced performance, allowing the bike to disappear beneath you, leaving you confidently in control.<\/li>\n
  • Leverage Rate:<\/strong> The new EVO\u2019s<\/strong> leverage rate is derived from the Enduro\u2019s<\/strong> progressive approach. This is key to delivering small bump sensitivity, mid-stroke support, and compliant but controlled full travel when really stomping the big hits. The tuned leverage rate also makes it easier to refine the shock to match the kinematics. Bottom line, the suspension does what you need it to, so you can do what you want to do: shred.<\/li>\n
  • Axle Path:<\/strong> Taking a cue from the kinematics of its big brother Enduro<\/strong>, the new EVO\u2019s<\/strong> axle path is tailored for getting after it. The axle moves rearward in the first third of travel, and then vertically in the mid-travel before arcing to a forward trajectory toward bottom out. To break this down, the rearward path in the first portion of travel allows the wheel to \u201cswing\u201d back with the bump force, decreasing hangup and thereby helping to carry speed. As the bike moves deeper into its travel, where pedalling isn\u2019t typical, the forward axle path disconnects chain forces from pedalling forces, allowing the suspension to independently compress in response to input from the trail. <\/li><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
