More Epic than Enduro, this new Stumpjumper is a thoroughbred speed machine.
Lively and responsive

Not as versatile as previous Stumpjumpers
Unforgiving of poor setup

‘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! Reviewer // Blake Nielsen Photos // Matt Staggs Let’s start nice and easy with your first impression of the Evo once it arrived at [R]evo’s […]

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.

There's been a BIG change, even if the newest Stumpy doesn't look all that different.

Specialized completely overhauls one of the most venerable mountain bike models, with alloy or carbon models to flatten trails and singletrack.

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

Oh man…Where do we even begin with this one? The last time I tested a Stumpjumper EVO, it was in the shape of something a bit more crude and less refined than the bike we’re about to discuss. To start, the bike was aluminum, had no SWAT storage, and the suspension was a little rough around the edges. However, with cutting edge geometry it would best be described as a utilitarian “shredder’s bike”. At the time that I rode it, I had a few bones to pick, but it did earn the tip of the hat for its aggressive disposition.
