The 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper - Everything you need to know including Weight

[@jeffrittenour8202]

thank you for making this straight forward, non-biased video. i am buying this bike as soon as i finish nursing school this december and save up a few paychecks. i've been mountain biking for 10 years but never owned an expensive/nice bike like this. just cheap hardtails. can't wait to make the jump!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

You got it! Once you get finished with your degree you will be loving life on a nice Stumpy!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Nice those are 2 terrific upgrades. Enjoy!

[@joen3992]

I've rode the ST aluminum version of this bike....what a ride! The slack head tube, lower BB for a 29er allowed me to fish tail that back end in mud like no tomorrow without losing control. Its an expensive bike for sure.....worth the money.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yeah its a pretty killer bike

[@deant6627]

I have a 2014 specialized stumpjumper evo 29er, its such a capable and nice bike to ride. Its also extremely durable.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Nice, the stumpy is an awesome bike.

[@stevenpeyton7476]

I have the exact same bike, but I upgraded to the Roval Carbon SL Fattie wheels -- big improvement! I love this bike; snappy, planted (yet quick turning), supple, and climbs great. What else can you ask for? It does feel very heavy when I load the bike into my car, but it rides a LOT lighter than it feels. Great review Jamesthebikeguy!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Nice, that must be an awesome bike you have!

[@mikelhouser337]

This bike is awesome on the trails! Playful and forgiving on the trails

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

So true!

[@troyabrady00]

Picked mine up on last Saturday. Thanks for the awesome review!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Awesome, how do you like it?

[@josephnubile1970]

Great video, love the review, keep them comming.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Thanks. Need to work on the camera work and better voiceover. Next ones will get better.

[@duruchurtu]

Is it never worth reviewing the basic version most of us are able to get?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

This is a "mid level" one, that is likely to either be the most or second to the most popular level.

[@bhislop3297]

I have the Fsr comp which is essentially this bike but in alloy after watching this I realise I saved £1000 by not buying carbon or having a swat box all components are same. Had it over a year now and still love it

[@stevenpeyton7476]

@@bhislop3297 I've had the carbon version since it first came out. Recently I rented the aluminum version and let my visiting friend ride my carbon, and I was really amazed at the difference. I'd say it's absolutely worth the extra 1,000 for the carbon version. Maybe running carbon rims on the aluminum bike would be a good compromise?

[@bhislop3297]

Steven Peyton i get what you mean, I had a shot of one my friend hired when out on trails. Hard to explain what felt different. But it did. That said I still love my aluminium version. But if given the choice of £1000 in upgrades I’d take an xo1 drive chain set up and hope breaks over carbon an stick with aluminium. And given the amount of scratches on bike and on my BB I probably shouldn’t have carbon haha.

[@jsv438]

Slick! I have the 29r expert. It's funny though, they're changing the fsr horst now on the Stumpjumper to the new rear end w/the flex stays, BUT they're KEEPING the fsr on the EVO? I'll have to ride one in the dirt to see if I'd like that, but seriously these will still be sought after because of that link. Specialized has such great R&D, they rarely make a mistake, time will tell if this new stumpy suspension choice works out. I do like "less moving parts" whenever possible, but not when it compromises one of the best proven MTB designs. I have the rocket red, but I'm really liking that gloss black in this vid! ~JSV

[@ThunderStruckMTB]

Awesome in depth review..... thanks!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Sure thing.

[@zxtenn]

Just looked at the Aluminum version with 12 speed for $3300.00, 2.6 tires are supposed to be very grippy

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yeah, Alloy comp is a pretty sweet deal with NX Eagle.

[@longboardkid97]

Does the Comp carbon come in a 27.5 option? or only a 29er?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

It is available in both 27.5 and 29er

[@LukaMratovicCRO751]

29.1 with the pedals and tubes?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yes.

[@mwinner101]

That amazing, as the one at my LBS for the large 29er with tubes was about a pound more.

[@PapaKJxo]

So it’s awesome for my trails, but will I be able to peddle around the neighborhood with the kiddos? How is the road ride?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

With the kiddos in the neighborhood would be fine. This is not what I would choose for a road ride workout

[@joshw3719]

Great video! is it worth it getting the stumpjumper pro model, coming with the DXT2 rear shock i believe carbon wheels, fox 36 forks, and a smoother gear set? the pro is 6300 the comp carbon is 4500. just trying to figure out if the pro would be overkill and if the comp carbon would do just fine. Thanks in advance!

[@Nestea062693]

Hey guys, Im struggling with choosing the right size of Stumpjumper 29" for me. Im 179 cm, 78kg Enjoying riding down over climbing, love to play with the bike over speed. What do you guys think?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Medium for sure.

[@Nestea062693]

I was told by a few specialized sellers that new 2019 Stumpjumper is smaller compare to the 2018 model, thus the recommend me to take L size for 179 cm. M size is for 175cm max. So I still don't know know :/

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

How is it smaller? The bike's front end got longer to mesh with the new longer front center trend. Just look up the Stack and Reach numbers.

[@Nestea062693]

I was told its bigger in numbers but you are actually "sitting" lower in the middle of the bike so the bike feels a little bit smaller compare to the 2018 model. 175cm high people are taking M size. 175-185cm L size and higher X-Large. Thats what they told me.

[@machyne82]

I got a 2018 sj comp on clearance. It saved me about 700 dollars off this new one.

[@ollydickinson2196]

machyne82 is it any good?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

That sounds like a great deal! Enjoy the bike.

[@machyne82]

MTB Stuff coming from a 2005 trek fuel, this thing feels like a spaceship. I absolutely Love it.

[@ThatGuyKappa]

Anybody else having issues trying get one of these in stock? Lbs says no bikes till mid july? There goes my whole riding season

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Guess it is in high demand.

[@andyb3642]

Have you managed to get one yet I’ve just bought one today can’t wait to use it

[@TTundragrizzly]

Want the 27.5 expert. It's 5k though. Damn these are spendy. Will have to finance it I guess.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Most places can do 0%

[@jsv438]

It's an AMAZING bike though. I was going to hold out for a new Stumpy EVO expert (industry is dry now) and found a 2019 Stumpjumper Carbon Expert 29r in BRAND NEW condition, I know huh?! Tough to find an XL frame too. This is insane! I may not even want the new EVO now. Carbon rims, mod with KMC X12-Ti chain, Deity pedals, sram code RSC brakes, waiting on my Deity bars and raceface 32t ring. All I need now is that Cascade suspension mod. Look, comp, pro, expert, it's mostly components no? These Stumpy frames are engineered SO WELL. You see so many riders w/stumpjumpers using different suspension and fork mods, the cascade link, different tires, you have the flip-chip, you can please virtually any rider with this frame. I almost went Kona waiting for the EVO, and now I'm not interested in either because these frames are engineered so well. I WAS a Trek guy, and now I have 3 Specialized bikes, I'm sold. ~JSV

[@allenkvextreme]

sikk review brother mann!!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@imjadon5922]

Great review I want to get that bike(the exact model) but I don’t have the money

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Its a nice bike, spring for it!

[@Dakota_rides_the_gain]

You can finance a new specialized bike if you have good credit. Google ‘synchrony specialized financing’

[@tzxsr]

So if I buy the 27.5 year 2020 I can easily put on a 29 in it?

[@cashmiller2999]

Did you find out if you can put 29 tires on a 27.5 frame?

[@paulomiranda9775]

I have one 2014 but in Brasil cost too many... Awesome Bike

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Sick!

[@eddyb4812]

Great review. Not a bad SJ, would be better with SRAM drive & SRAM brakes

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Thanks, and totally agree. The bike begs for some Guide R brakes and a NX (Or even GX) eagle group at the same price

[@nl3712]

Sram brakes, seriously?

[@LuisManuelHdez]

I beg to differ.. Magura breaks for me.

[@armandojuan64]

I like the pedals ..... Yes .

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Blast from the past this one.

[@lansdorf]

Water bottle holder makes it an awesome bike.

[@1slashmri]

Great review. Nice respectable weight. Was it weighed with the pedals?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Yep, weighed with the stock pedals. This bike with tubeless and good pedals should drop down into the high 27lbs range.

[@mwinner101]

I missed the size that you weighed.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Large

[@gustavelijahahr2606]

How much are they?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Check with your local bike shock.

[@trelane751]

박진수 online the cheapest is a short travel alloy in 27.5 and 29 is 1800 and the cheapest regular is alloy and 2100

[@chinkritk]

20% more efficient is that 20% faster lap time if ride back to to back old vs new comparison?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Does your dad snore, if your mom isn't around to hear it?

[@chinkritk]

So I'm taking as a no..great marketing write up hey..

[@pyrho1]

Frame is 20% more efficient? More efficient at what?

[@brunofonseca9686]

Reducing flex probably.

[@allsic]

If I get the 27.5 frame can I still swap in some 29 wheels? Or only from 29 frame to 27.5???

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

29 would be to large in diameter to fit in the 27.5 frame. With the 29 frame, the smallest 27.5 would be a 2.8" tire.

[@allsic]

Jamesthebikeguy I actually called Specialized yesterday and they told me the 27.5 would accept a 29 wheel and is what they recommend as the bottom bracket is located higher than in the 29 frame... I am.so confused... I want the 27.5 in order to be able to descend like a pro but also the 29 as sometimes I ride for hours in plain terrain...

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Your missing that the fork will not clear the larger outside diameter of the bike. Both bikes use the same rear end so it would "fit" but if you bottom the fork out you will contact the tire using a 27.5 tire. Their release doc as you can find online says "What is the tire clearance? On 29 frames will allow for 29 wheels with tire sizes 2.3 and up to 2.6. The 29 frames also accommodate a 27.5 wheelsets with tire sizes 2.8 up to 3.0. The 27.5 frames will only accommodate a 27.5 wheelset but will allow tire sizes of 2.3 up to 3.0"

[@allsic]

Jamesthebikeguy please send me that release document Link I can't find it anywhere... thanks for all gekp

[@onethingeverything]

Does it have carbon rims?

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

The Expert version and above does, this Comp carbon does not.

[@rman713]

I want one so bad

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Right, these things are sick

[@imjadon5922]

Bro I want one so bad

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Do it!

[@imjadon5922]

Jamesthebikeguy don’t have money

[@chuckfinley3152]

You pay that much for a bike the dealer better take the chicken plate off

[@thesupernad]

the focus pulsing makes me feel uneasy

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Tough to focus.

[@shamuslockey]

Looks a lot like the orbea

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

I suppose. Specialized has had this design language for generations now.

[@stevenpeyton7476]

Orbea lifted this idea from Specialized Demo DH bike.

[@DM-hw4cr]

Larger seat post diameter!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

True story. 34.9mm to fit the WU Dropper.

[@livefreeandshred9818]

No proprietary shock....but no one makes that size shock yet. Only fox

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

Give it time.

[@joshuafuentes3770]

Oooooh math.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

🚲

[@ilbikersolitario8956]

Fantastica, ma i pedali sono orribili

[@bonks9790]

Wow plastic pedals

[@plutoplatters3182]

problem is.… the 110k price tag.

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

It's priced pretty well in line with all the other bikes right now?

[@lesterma1608]

Asymmetrical sucks specialized has lost it!!!!!

[@Jamesthebikeguy]

If it makes it ride better who cares?

[@lesterma1608]

Jamesthebikeguy does it ride better? Or is it all the other upgrades?

[@gweflj]

Clueless.
