Summary

The Specialized Stumpjumper EVO is a versatile and fun trail bike that excels in both climbing and descending, thanks to its well-sorted FSR rear end and Fox ProPedal damping. Its Autosag shock technology simplifies setup, while the sturdy Maxle Lite ensures precise steering. The bike's adaptability and performance make it a standout in its category, with improvements over previous versions and a design that encourages aggressive riding.

Pros
  • Improved over the previous version

  • Versatile and fun

  • Excellent downhill performance

  • Good climbing ability for a bike with this much travel

  • Autosag shock technology for easy setup

Cons

  • Black Light Command Post not as smooth or sleek as competitors

The Stumpy EVO is a confidence inspiring ride and the only big decision is 26er or 29er.
