Summary
The Specialized Stumpjumper is a versatile trail bike that excels in both climbing and descending, thanks to its lightweight design, efficient suspension, and updated geometry. It offers a mix of agility and stability, making it suitable for a wide range of trails. However, some reviews note that it may lack the plushness of previous models and can be unforgiving if not set up correctly.
Lightweight and efficient for climbing
Updated geometry for improved handling
Versatile performance across various trails
Good value for alloy models
Quiet and composed ride feel
Rear end can be too active on climbs
Not as 'sprinty' or snappy as some competitors
Higher price point for carbon models
Fussy initial suspension setup

The Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Comp Alloy has one of the smartest metal frames we’ve seen, but is that quality reflected in the specs?
Excellent easily tuneable geometry
Great aggro tire choice
Short seat tube for size switching
Solid climb mode
Stiff power transfer
SWAT and geometry switching add cost
Slow free hub pick up
Chunky weight

At The Loam Wolf, we’d rather have a bike that rides well than a bad bike made from carbon fiber. Read a full review on the Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Alloy!

Bridging the gap between tours, climbs and descents?
Intuitive, good-natured handling
SWAT features and great build quality
Bridges the gap between touring, uphill and singletrail performance
Puncture-prone tires paired with XC carbon wheelset
Brakes overheat quickly and require strong fingers on long rides

‘Total control, unparalleled bump-eating suspension, and a fine-tunable geometry are hallmarks of the all-new Stumpjumper EVO Expert. ‘ Lofty words from Specialized to say the least! Long time [R] tester Blake Nielsen got his hands dirty onboard their new Swiss Army knife of bikes on everything he could, from home trails to Thredbo. Read on!

The 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper Expert is a completely refreshed model with updated geometry and – on the carbon models – a new suspension platform with flex stays instead of a lower pivot. In this spec it's an incredible all rounder, though the price is undeniably steep. I guess you do get SWAT, though...

The moment that Specialized revamped its venerated Stumpjumper for 2021, I was chomping at the bit to see what the redesigned trail bike was all about. My first introduction was to the Stumpjumper EVO Expert, a rowdy all-rounder that I absolutely loved. So, when I got a chance to test its sibling, the Stumpjumper Expert, I was eager to find out how it stacked up against the EVO. I had a hard time concealing my curiosity when I noticed that the Stumpjumper Expert was missing Specialized’s signature FSR suspension design. To save weight, the bike’s designers opted for a lightweight flex stay rather than the traditional chainstay pivot point. I was so keen to try it out that I immediately took it on a few small hot laps on the “test track” outside my apartment, which is, no joke, a stump I love to jump. I immediately knew the Stumpjumper Expert was ready for some of Galbraith Mountain’s rowdiest trails. Most of my favorite rides involve an hour or more of climbing before a quick, high-speed descent. So, as one could expect, I have a soft spot for bikes that climb exceptionally well. The new Stumpjumper Expert made my time climbing a joy. The kinematics of the 130-millimeter rear shock helped to keep the momentum moving forward, regardless of whether I was pedaling in or out of the saddle. I never felt the need to reach down and flip into “climb” mode on the Fox Float DPS Performance Elite shock while climbing. The suspension showed an excellent mix of traction-generating squish, while also delivering some zippy acceleration—something that was accentuated by the Specialized Purgatory rear tire. The seat angle was just steep enough to keep the bike balanced on steep, punchy climbs, even while seated.
