Summary
The Specialized Stumpjumper excels as a versatile cross-country bike, praised for its playful and fun handling that inspires confidence on various trails. Its supple suspension and balanced geometry provide a smooth ride, while innovative features like the SWAT storage system add practicality. However, some reviews note issues with tire performance in mud and a tendency for the rear shock to rush through travel on big hits.
Playful and fun handling
Supple suspension performance
SWAT storage system
Excellent traction on climbs
Balanced and predictable geometry
Tires can be bouncy and perform poorly in mud
Rear shock may rush through travel on big hits
Low bottom bracket leads to pedal strikes
Slightly sluggish compared to bikes with regular tires
It’s a bike that works in harmony with all its angles and travel, never seeming like it’s too much or not enough of anything.
BIKE Magazinethe 6fattie is the most fun I have ever had on a mountain bike
Dirt MountainbikeSupple suspension, tacky tyres and a sweet balance of slack and sharp – the Stumpy rules the trails.
Flow Mountain BikeThe Stumpjumper has a really lively, playful feel on descents, and rides with great agility even with those chubby tires.

Anyone who thinks that the Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper is getting a bit old-fashioned is wrong! With Öhlins suspension all around and revised SWAT integration, the bike is better than ever – but is that enough to beat the competition?

The Specialized Stumpjumper 29 is a great trail bike – the suspension offers grip, the Yari fork is stiff and it has unique features like Autosag and SWAT.

The main question to ask ourselves is … why? Why do we ride? Why do you ride? Why spend so much of your hard-earned money on bikes and gear? Why not just hop on your old steel klunker and head out for hours and hours of ripping up our favorite techy singletrack?

This Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper 29, which was raced in both the BCBR and Singletrack 6, is an unconventional stage-race setup.
