Our pleasure mate, glad you enjoyed the review! These two Stumpjumpers were sent to us directly by Specialized to test before the official launch to public, so it was a case of what was available at the time. Demand for bikes is outstripping supply by quite some margin at the moment, so we can't always get our hands on the bike we'd like to test. Hopefully our readers and viewers found the review useful even if they're looking at a different model. Generally speaking, we tend to focus more on a bike's handling, suspension performance and geometry than on specific components. So for those who are looking at a cheaper or more expensive model, they'll still get a good understanding of how the bike will perform. If you've been on our website, you'll see that we review quite a wide range of bikes across a broad spectrum of price points. We don't always have the time to do video reviews on every bike we test, so you'll find a load more stories and reviews over on the website: flowmountainbike.com/ Hope that helps explain mate! [Wil]

I so agree with this ! Every single "pro" MTB review out there are always about the most expensive models in their respective lineups, the ones the average Joe will NEVER get because they cost a fortune, some of them are even as expensive as my car ffs. It is almost like cheating, since these are the lightest models too, of course a 12kg bike will have a more exciting ride than a 16 kg one. The only Stumpy alloy review out there are the ones by amateurs who have just bought it, most often than not haven’t seriously ridden it yet, and are just too excited about their purchase to say anything relevant about it other than reading the specs sheet. Not fair.

Thank you VERY MUCH. I learn more USEFUL and ESSENTIAL info as needed for a serious potential customer for one of these bikes from this presenter than I do from nearly all others combined. He has a teacher's instinct for not assuming prior knowledge from viewers, while integrating clear instruction along the way! Plenty of visual demonstration of the product's features with explanation of significance. This is vastly more useful and relevant for a potential buyer than merely watching GoPro video of people who ride fast downhill while attempting to fly. I want to know how a bike is on the trail's long UPHILL, not just downhill, and how the bike is while riding distances from one's home to an actual trailhead. The non-EVO Stumpjumper, that's the one that makes more sense. Now I know that, and can even explain why. Thanks very much Aussie reviewer. Sincerely. - Even though the 2023 model is a bit more evolved, I believe that the info presented here about the 2021 bikes is still generally applicable to 2023 models.

@FlowMountainBikeYouTube3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Josh, glad you enjoyed it! Great question on the Stumpy vs Epic EVO, I've been thinking exactly the same thing recently. Both are ripping bikes in my experience, and both offer a lot of capability on the trail given the amount of travel they have. I think if you're looking to throw some multi-day events and XC races into the mix, the Epic EVO would be a great option. It's quite a bit lighter, comes with faster-rolling tyres, and the pedalling performance is a lot better. The geometry is progressive, so it delivers great confidence on the descents and on rough trails. It's still an XC bike with only 110mm of rear travel though, so on really chunky terrain and sustained descents, you'll be working harder to keep it online. If you weren't worried about being so competitive, and you wanted a bike that could also handle bigger mountain trails, say if you were planning a few riding trips away in locations with more technical trails, then the Stumpjumper would be more versatile in that regard. The suspension is much more forgiving, and that's something you'll notice on rougher trails, particularly when you're doing longer descents. You could fit some faster-rolling tyres for those multi-day events and XC trails and it'd be a comfortable bike to ride, though it wouldn't have the same snappiness at the pedals, and it won't be as whippy through tight singletrack as the Epic EVO. Hope that helps mate! [Wil]

After watching this I'm wondering if Guy Kes messed something up when setting up his suspension. Because so far I've seen varied opinions on the new flex stays and shock tune.
@FlowMountainBikeYouTube3 жыл бұрын
I watched Guy's review last night, and it does seem like we had different experiences with the Stumpjumper. Guy knows his stuff and has an enormous amount of experience, so I'd never question his opinion. I can only speak for my own experience, and I will say that I spent quite a bit of time talking with the main chap at Specialized HQ who heads up their Ride Dynamics team, Chance Ferro. His job is to come up with all the custom tunes for the suspension on the whole mountain bike range, and along with Steve Saletnik, they developed the custom digressive/progressive tune for the Float DPS shock on the Stumpjumper. I was able to get some pretty detailed suspension setup information from Chance when we first received the test bike a couple of weeks ago, which for me made a big difference to the shock performance and the balance of the whole bike. The key aspect with this shock is that you want to make sure you hit 30% sag on the shock. Because of the flex stay design and the way the stays 'relax' at sag and build pressure beyond it, if you setup the shock either side of that, you'll be fighting the flex to a certain extent. Unfortunately there's no sag guide for the shock, so I carried a little ruler with me on every ride to make sure I was definitely hitting that 13.5mm sag figure at the O-ring. It's worth checking this over the first few rides as the shock seals bed in, so you might need to tweak pressures from when you set it up the first time. You don't want to run the rebound too fast (I had it set 1 click faster than halfway, so 8/14 clicks), and you also don't want to be afraid of utilising the low-speed compression damping. Set wide-open, it is too active for my liking, and it does sink into the travel on the climbs, slackening out the seat tube angle and making it feel sluggish as a result. Up until this point, my experience was very similar to Guy's and I wasn't overly impressed. It wasn't until I increased the LSC and tweaked the fork setup (lower pressure, lighter damping) before the Stumpjumper's climbing performance got to where I wanted it. With that setup, the suspension is significantly more stable on the climbs and the climbing position also improves. It's still active, and there is very little tugging at the pedals on rough technical climbs, but it was much more settled that way. The LSC adjuster makes a considerable difference - more than I expected and have experienced on other Float DPS shocks, which comes down to that custom tune. As mentioned in the video introduction, the video is more of a broader overview of the two bikes - it sounds like you'll appreciate the extra detail that's in the full written review. If you get the chance, you can check it out here: flowmountainbike.com/tests/2021-specialized-stumpjumper-pro-review/ Hope that helps mate, and thanks for watching and taking the time to leave us a comment!

I really enjoyed your review. How does the stumpjumper evo compare to the pivot switchblade?
@FlowMountainBikeYouTube3 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed it Jimmy! That's an excellent question about the Switchblade vs the Stumpjumper EVO. I tested the Switchblade earlier this year, and it was one of the best trail bikes I've ridden, beautifully constructed and a really nice ride on the trail. Compared to the Stumpjumper EVO, the Switchblade is for sure the better pedalling bike, the dw-link suspension controls bob better, and it means you can leave the shock wide open more of the time. On rolling terrain, that makes it faster and more energetic - closer to the regular Stumpjumper I'd say. The geometry is a touch less radical on the Switchblade, but I didn't find it to be an issue - the rear suspension is so effective, that it gives that bike a huge amount of stability, without having to rely on an uber-slack head angle. Chassis rigidity is also excellent on that bike, and it just has a super high quality feel front to back. In comparison, the Stumpjumper EVO doesn't pedal as well - it is much soggier on the climbs and you need the climb switch on the shock for extended sections of uphill. The flip-side is that the suspension is ridiculously plush and active on the descents, with a real disconnect between your feet and what's going on underneath the tyres. It seriously feels like a mini-Enduro. The Stumpjumper EVO also has a lot more adjustability thanks to the upper headset cup. You can make it nearly as steep as the Switchblade (65.5 vs 66 degree head angle), but you can also slacken it out to a bikepark-ready 63-degrees. You can also flip the geo chip into the Low position, and that makes it super-low. All that adjustability gives the Stumpjumper EVO a huge amount of versatility for setting it up for really aggressive riding. And of course you do get the SWAT system with that secondary bladder and tool roll, which I really dig. If you're choosing between the two, I think it'll come down to how whether you value pedalling efficiency and all-round versatility (the Switchblade) or mega-plush suspension and the option to go super slack (Stumpjumper EVO). Hope that helps mate! [Wil]

Just interested to hear your Opinion Flow MTB, do you think DW Link / Maestro is the best rear suspension design? It seems to me that over the years Specialized has put a lot of propaganda into the Horst Link, but if its so good why do they have to use fancy brain shocks to control the bob?
@FlowMountainBikeYouTube3 жыл бұрын
Good question Patrick! I personally don't think any specific suspension platform is the best - they all have different attributes and ride qualities, and they also present different structural/design differences. In terms of pedalling efficiency, the Horst-link has never been known for being the most pert design. That said, it really depends on pivot location, anti-squat and the leverage ratio - there can be a huge difference in performance between two bikes that both use a similar-looking layout. In regards to Specialized specifically, the suspension designs have always biased traction, suppleness and disconnection from pedalling and braking forces first and foremost over a design with firm pedalling manners. That means they tend to be very active designs, and typically without a lot of pedal kickback on rough trails. In my experience, I've found you do need to make use of the shock's compression damping for adding control and stability. If you take the time to tune the shock (it took me a good few rides with the DPX2 shock on the Stumpy EVO) it's possible to get the balance right and have a really well-rounded setup. As for the Brain, that concept is quite different - it's less about controlling general pedal-bob, and more about creating a very firm and automated platform for out-of-the-saddle sprinting. It does have its pluses and minuses though - have a suss of our review video on the latest Epic if you get the chance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5fYaqOEnp5gpqM Hope that helps mate! [Wil]

@FlowMountainBikeYouTube3 жыл бұрын
Hey Christine! Thanks for watching the video and taking the time to leave a question. I have ridden the Stumpjumper ST, and I really liked that bike - it was totally underrated in my opinion. There are a number of key changes between the new Stumpjumper and the Stumpjumper ST. For a start, it is lighter. It also has more travel (140/130mm vs 130/120mm) and the suspension rate is significantly more progressive. The geometry has also changed, with the new Stumpy getting slacker (65 vs 67.5-degrees) and also longer (450 vs 435mm Reach on the medium/S3), and the chainstays are a bit shorter too (432 vs 437mm). The result of all that is that the new Stumpjumper feels similarly whippy and agile as the Stumpjumper ST, and it's got that low-to-the-ground speed and stability, but it's simply more capable and confidence-inspiring on rougher trails. Pedalling performance is a little better, but it's mainly the more progressive suspension rate that I noticed on the trail, which gives the new bike more pop and enthusiasm, along with better support at high-speed. You can certainly ride it faster with more confidence, and the suspension doesn't run out of puff as quickly. Hope that helps Christine! [Wil]

@@likeris2 - Oh, the guy in the video is me, and I also wrote the review! I put the link to the review for you, as there's a more detailed discussion in there around frame sizing (S3) and rider height (175cm). Hopefully that helps! [Wil]

Good spotting! I'm a British/Australian muggle - I lived in the UK for a few years, most recently while I was working for Singletrack. We moved back to Oz a couple of years ago and I've been with Flow MTB since. Much nicer trail conditions here 😂

How is specialised even in business still?? the top stumpjumper is $15,500 AUD, for nothing better than anyone else's versions. To big for their boots. Probably time they took a big hit in sales so they lose this chip on there shoulder.

The bike is solid and my Ebike conversion went great. kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L Very smooth ride at 30mph with no problems (135 miles ridden so far). The picture is a bit deceiving - there is WAY less space in the center of the frame than it shows. The suspension connection takes up the entire thing. So I needed to attach my battery on the bottom of the frame and my controller on the top. Instructions for assembly were lacking but honestly it wasn't too hard to figure out even though I have very little bike knowledge. Watched some youtube videos on adjusting the disk brakes but that was it. Still, I am loving it and very happy with the purchase.

Jesus! Another Specialized commercial that is +15 minutes long. and look ma! Specialized ditching the Horst-Leitner 4-bar design. As they should for a pedal bike, the Horst-Leitner 4-bar design have never been good pedal bikes.
