It's worth mentioning that the Stumpy EVO Alloy was the longest-travel bike we tested in the batch of 130mm to 150mm trail bikes this Field Test, so it's a bit more bike than anything else we're reviewing this week.
So, so adaptable - and the geo adjustments are easier than on some other bikes
SWAT box is the biggest and the best of the in-frame storage boxes out there
Good value and smart spec
Good crossover trail-enduro option
There's no true top-end build, and it would be so good to see more aluminum bikes with fancy spec options
A tad heavy if we're counting grams
Star ratchet issue with the rear hub prior to Field Test

The best part about the Stumpjumper EVO Alloy is how nicely Specialized implemented all of the best parts of the more expensive carbon frame

The storied Specialized Stumpjumper EVO—arguably the most famous mountain bike model in the history of our sport—is back for 2021, and the newest incarnation feels more refined and adjustable than ever before. With a headtube angle that’s adjustable from 65.5 degrees all the way down to 63 degrees, and a bottom bracket with height adjustability from 32 millimeters of drop to a ground-hugging 39 millimeters of drop, the new Stumpjumper EVO Expert we tested comes with multiple geometry options that can radically change its personality on a wide variety of terrain. The 2021 Stumpjumper EVO certainly has retained some of the climbing characteristics of its previous iteration. Specifically, it’s a bike that is far better to climb in the seated position than hammering out of the saddle—a trait attributed to the FSR suspension platform, which gives impressive traction through chunky terrain while climbing in the seated position. While climbing in the seated position, my weight felt balanced between the front and rear wheels, allowing me to stay comfortable and in control on even the steepest of climbs. I found the lowest bottom-bracket setting to be the best for climbing, as it extends the chainstay dimensions, adding to its overall stability. When it came to dialing in the compression on the super-active Fox Float DPX2 Performance Elite shock, I preferred switching it into the middle setting on the climb switch to slightly stiffen the pedaling platform.

Specialized’s Stumpjumper Evo Expert is a lightweight carbon daily driver with downhill geometry, but does that work on the trail?
Rad-to-mad geo and shock adjustment
Excellent suspension control
On-point frame feel
Decent weight
SWAT
Practical, protective details
Sorted kit package
Full size range
Power phase is soft in open mode
S-Works frame is a lot more cash for just a 35g weight saving
Tires are dry biased
Shorter stem please

Looking to produce something worthy of their new Stumpjumper EVO, Specialized just took things to another level with a video simply called The Stumpjumper EVO. It makes you wonder – is this really the golden age of mountain biking?
