How does it compare to the current Hightower? Sounds pretty similar, and I really like the new rear sus design. Very clean and likely lighter and quicker.

I was looking to buy a Blur. Needed to wait till the new ones come out next month. Accidently found your video on the Blurvelo. Got interested and started researching it. Ended up buying a 120 gx build from Mikes Bikes. Just needed to order a one up v3 dropper to go along with it.

I've found personally that the 140 ish rear travel is about right for almost all situation except for like big bike park stuff...but I never ride that and not into jump lines. Blacks and double blacks...no problem, blues...piece of cake...seems the 30ish lbs bike is the norm for trail bikes. Nice looking bike though, bravo Specialized for making less choices! I also have the Mavens on my bike, they are crazy good, I love having more power then less.

Looking at the geo charts the BB height is slightly lower, Stack slightly higher, Reach couple mm longer. When measuring how "big" a bike feel I like to think about the distance from the pedals to my hands, meaning all the changes above will result in a slightly more bigger bike. Hope that helps.

@bthomas518 10 сағат бұрын
Specialized 2.3's are really closer to 2.4. Eliminator/Butcher combo has very good grip, but slow rolling and a drag uphill. I still use 'em for park days. Just mounted up a set of Schwalbe: Wicked Will Super Trail Speedgrip rear and Tacky Chan Super Trail Soft front. Absolutely sick combo, but not cheap. At least as fast rolling as Maxxis Rekon/Dissector combo, but much more grip.

How do you compare the Epic Evo to this new stumpy ? I am coming from a Megatower looking for an XC/Trail bike as my analog bike now for more efficiency on the climbs and was about to go with the Epic Evo or an SB120. But now wondering if this new stumpy setup in the high Geo setting might be the best of both ? Is there any overlap between the two bikes having ridden both ?
@jctrails Күн бұрын
Are you keeping your Mega? If so I would go with the Epic. If not get a stumpy.
@duffyrides Күн бұрын
@@jctrails no I sold the Megatower. Have been riding mainly road bikes and some road racing this past year but missing my mountain bikes. Most of the guys I rode with have moved to E-MTBs for the enduro riding now. I might get an Emtb for the downhill laps eventually but right now I want a mountain bike that I can have some long mornings in the saddle on while also setting some good serpent times and jumping off any jump I can find on the way down. I know the epic will require you to pick a line and I don’t mind that as I’m an active rider with a motocross background. But I’m wondering now if this new Stumpy might be efficient enough on flat roads and climbs (in other words a lot better than the Mega or any enduro bike ). The other option I’m looking at is the SB120 as CC has some crazy deals on at the moment (5999 for u Turq model with factory suspension and X01 ). Not sure which one to go for !
