$4,899 - 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert Reviewed
Рет қаралды 112,327
3 жыл бұрынFurther refinement, greater adjustability, and 10mm of additional travel highlight the new Stumpjumper EVO - a ride Specialized is calling 'The Ultimate Trail Bike.' From park laps to big pedal missions, Vital MTB's Product Editor, Brandon Turman, tested it in a wide variety of terrain.
Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Highlights:
- 29-inch wheels
- 150mm (5.9-inches) rear travel // 160mm (6.3-inches) front
- FACT 11m full carbon frame
- Asymmetrical design
- 210x55mm shock
- Short 44mm offset fork
- SWAT Door integration with storage pouch, water bladder, bottle cage, and tool
- Sealed cartridge bearing pivots
- Threaded bottom bracket
- Fully enclosed internal cable routing
- Boost front and rear axle spacing
- Replaceable UDH derailleur hanger
- Frame Weight: 6.1-pounds (2,750g, claimed, Size S4, with shock and hardware)
- Complete Weight: 30.8-pounds (14.0kg, actual, Size S3, Expert build, no pedals)
Complete bikes are available in four standard builds starting at $4,099 USD, plus a limited-edition park model kitted out with a mullet setup and burlier fork. The Stumpjumper EVO also comes in a S-Works frameset option for those looking to create a custom rig.
The fact that it is highly adjustable makes it ready for a huge range of rides - whether it's a big backcountry mission, pointing it down some secret steeps, or a day at the bike park. For the descent-loving rider, it's a great pick and right up Vital MTB's alley. Specialized didn't leave anything on the table with this one, delivering the full package with dialed details throughout, great handling, and much-improved suspension performance.

I've gotta say, the headset kit is a true game changer IMO. Everyone has been trying to add versatility with a flip chip, but most of them are like .4 degrees. Who the hell notices that
@kangsterizer 3 жыл бұрын
the flip switches make a diff in how the shock feels usually but not the front. i used to combine them with a canecreek crown race that does the same thing for the same reason, so its probably not at all that new - but its definitely waaaaaaaaaaay more convenient than a crown race.

Seems like a solid choice for the one bike to do all. The Comp is the model I'd go for. Wonder if they'll come out with an AL model to compete with the Ripmo AF? Regular Stumpy will probably just be this 150F/140R Fox 34/RS and inline shock.

I wonder how it compares to my previous generation evo that I have set up with a 160 fork, cascade link, and long shocked with a 255x52.5 shock for 150ish mm of travel. Long shocking it with the cascade link solved the issues with the stock suspension kinematic of the previous generation for me and has made it an excellent enduro/do everything decently bike for me. It kinda sounds like that's one of the main things they changed for the new generation and I think it's awesome that the new model is basically what I modified my bike to, but it comes stock.

The updates to the new Evo look outstanding. I'd probably go with the new Evo Expert. Solid build, and I can swap over my fancy wheels from my old bike prior to selling it. With that said, the new Trek Slash is still high on my list and it's going to be a tough choice. I'm planning to demo both prior to making my decision.

I will buy a Huffy. I could use some help here. I am in my early 40's I was in pretty good shape until this covid thing happened. I live in Florida and some of the trails here have alot of roots. I used to have a TRek hardtail and it was not very comfortable riding the trails. I am planning on moving to North Carloina in a year. I want to street ride the bike and maybe some minor trail riding for a few months to get my endurance up and lose some weight before I start trail riding. I should have kept the trek for street riding and only using mountain bike for trail riding but I gave the trek away. It is hard to spend $5000 on a bike that I might not use often. If you could spend between 1500 and 2500 what would you get.

I asked in the Specialized shop a couple of years ago about putting one in my Stumpy and they said no way. Won't work; could void the warranty. Bike marketing at it's best!

At that price my friend there are not going to be many riders who can, or even want to afford it except those racers who hope to earn prize money riding those downhills. I have one of the original Specialized Rock Hoppers and it is twenty plus years old and has none of the fancy stuff these new bikes have. No shocks on the back, (hard tail) and minimal on the front. I still ride it from time to time but at my age of 74 I have to be careful, because this last winter I had to major accidents on it. Didn't bother the bike at all, but I got messed up pretty good each one taking me a month to recuperate from. I had heard recently that Specialized has gone on to only produce top end bikes which they are charging a premium price for. My first Specialized was a Ten Year anniversary gift from the gentleman I work for. That road bike is the Aluminum Ceramic composite, with the name Aliez which I have since given to a grandchild who was headed off to Davis to study and now on to San Francisco to study to become a Dentist, and he still rides it. Specialized was my bike of choice, but I can no longer afford them.

THe 52T is fine and dandy. It's the fact that it's backed-up by the 42T that's horrible. Sram should make a whole new cassette if they're trying to go 10-52, not just modify the large sprocket. Make the jumps between gears more consistent, not less. Or just stick to the 50T and call it a day... Damn this oneuping in this industry.

yzedf it is. I wish they’d make it 10-13-15-17-19-21-23-28-33-39-45-51 2 tooth jumps through the most commonly used gears would be so sweet. As a singlespeed fan, I rarely use my 32x10 or 32x51, but am sure glad they are there when I want them. I almost always wear out a single cog (17, 19, or 21) before any of the others because it feels best on most of the hundreds of miles of well built, topo-following trails built here in Prescott, AZ.
