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

‘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 ideal balance between value and quality, the Stumpjumper Comp Alloy is a mid-travel 29er thats ready to rock out of the box.
Smart spec
Perfect geometry for the category
6 sizes, including XS and XXL
Just barely outside the "budget" category
Rattly dropper cable

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.

The latest Stumpjumper is less an overhaul and more an evolution but t's still been subject to many updates including a step away from the Horst Link suspension design we're used to seeing on the Stumpjumper model.

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

Further refinement, greater adjustability, and 10mm of additional travel highlight the new Stumpjumper EVO – a bike Specialized is calling 'The Ultimate Trail Bike.' From park laps to big pedal missions, Vital tested it in a wide variety of terrain.

The EVO has always been the radical offshoot of the regular Stumpjumper. For 2021 though, Specialized has evolved its approach, creating a standalone model that it calls the 'Ultimate Trail Bike'. What's changed? And how does it ride? Read on for our review of the all-new 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert.
Insanely floaty suspension performance
User-friendly adjustable geometry
The new SWAT accessories are brilliant
Highly adjustable fork and shock package
Code RS stoppers deliver enormous braking power
Overall attention to detail
The sticky rubber and suspension are draggy
Rear tyre is on the light side for a hard-charging bike like this
