Reviews

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.

Pros
  • Playful and fun handling

  • Supple suspension performance

  • SWAT storage system

  • Excellent traction on climbs

  • Balanced and predictable geometry

Cons
  • 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

Key Quotes
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.

Supple suspension, tacky tyres and a sweet balance of slack and sharp – the Stumpy rules the trails.
Flow Mountain Bike logoFlow Mountain Bike
The Stumpjumper has a really lively, playful feel on descents, and rides with great agility even with those chubby tires.

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.

Tested: Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert 6Fattie

Oct 2016

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?

First Ride / First Look: Specialized Stumpjumper S-Works FSR 6Fattie

Jun 2015 · Zach Overholt
