It doesent matter the cons and pros. I didnt watch full revew but im gonna spot it out there. Today i test ran it at my local bike shop. Dont let anybody talk about it cuz mu revew is simple. Its like a cloud, on a street or on a black daimond trail, its like a CLOUD. Its light and nimble, easy to control, soft and even if it falls on you in a crash it won't be bad bc its light. Love it. If u have a 5000€ budget just go out and buy it.
At 6:50 you mentioned that the flip chip can turn this bike into a mullet but that’s actually wrong. Specialized sells a mullet link that’s specific to this bike for the geometry to stay the same
Shoot, you're correct. They need to be used together for proper geometry adjustment. I'm pinning your comment to the top, thanks for catching my mistake.
They don't need to be used together. Just using the mullet link is all you need. The flip chip is for dropping the bb and slacking the head by .5%, it has nothing to do with the mullet link.
@@franklee6301 so the rider could put a 27,5 wheel in the rear and leave the flip-chip as is and would end with slacker geo, oppose to him just putting a mullet linkage resulting in both similar results...?
@@Jamesthebikeguy I remember my first stump jumper was in 1987 when I was a freshman in high school. It had no suspension and the geometry was like a road bike. It did have all Shimano XT. It was the top end one and was $1200 bucks.
I was super stoked on the adjustable head angle.. but the stock set up just does everything so well I have yet to change it. The bike really does it all.
Nice review! The all SRAM drivetrain and brakeset paired with Fox suspension is kind of a unicorn. Fully expected to see Rockshox front and rear. Nice build spec from Specialized!
Thanks James for the great description of the bike! I think that Specialised is upgrading the specs on their bikes!! Brands Like Deity, One up, when it counts the most!!! cheers
I just bought this bike......never had a carbon bike. Would you recommend a specific frame protection to put on.......ride wrap, all mountain style, or invis? I just want the strongest to give my investment the best protection. Thanks and great reviews!
Hola, buenos videos, puedes hacer una revision de la specialized enduro comp carbon 2017 color negro charcoal ? Es la que tiene ambas suspensiones rock shock , saludos.
The rear hub may not have high engagement as the wheels look the same as on my budget stumpjumper alloy 2021. It's a problem where I live as I have to pedal through big rocks and pedal strikes likelyhood mean I have to take stabs at the pedal. Maybe 'racheting' is the term for such pedalling. Seems like just upgrading the hub is labor intensive $$$. Too bad it doesn't come with high engagement and a $50 higher price originally.
I think the wheels may be different. It's the same wheelset that is spec'd on the SJ Alloy Comp, but the base SJ comes with slightly narrower rims and I think a less expensive hub. I had a SJ Alloy Comp before upgrading to a Carbon Expert and the wheels onbtge alloy bike weren't bad. They aren't super fast engaging, but they had a nice buzz to them when coasting and I never felt hampered on technical climbs. That said, if you spring for the next model up, it has DT hub internals and you can upgrade even further with a better freehub.
@@aaronbehindbars I would have got the alloy comp but none in S4 size and my shop was doing 10% off all but Santa Cruz so I figured it's now or nothing. The comp seems to have a better roval labelled rim but the rear hub description is identical to budget stumpjumper. Carbon comp says Shimano rear hub. I'm a roadie anyway, we'll see where I end up. They all just went up $150 or more on website.
@@stevemurray710 Parts scarcity probably dictates that they aren't specific as to the exact hubs being spec'd, so using a vague description works in their favor. I thought the hubs were a little nicer on the comp vs the base alloy model. It's nuts how much prices have increased. I had my shop order a 2021 SJ Expert back when it was $4800. By the time I could get my hands on a 2022 model, it was $5900 and now it's $6000. I have a feeling we aren't ever going to see new prices coming back down, even when the industry is operating normally. This is definitely not a hobby for those without some disposable income.
Upgrading to the star ratchet hub on these is actually super simple and cheap. About $70 and you can pull the free hub body off with your hand and put the other one on.
Curious if this bike is a good “do it all” type bike, aka like an Ibis Ripley. That’s quite a bit of travel on this Stump Evo Comp… I already have a few road bikes so I mean I’m not looking for one bike for all my bike needs… but one bike for all my MTB needs. I’d be starting off on a bunch of fire roads and getting into some trails, so I’m defiantly not bombing down boulders or ripping through giant jumps on parks here.
@@harrygrimley4352 If you're a hardtail guy, this bike would be way more than you would want. It is a true beast that just eats up rocks, roots, and drops and is a ton of fun. But as far as being a good all--day, grind out the miles on a cross-country ride, bike it's not the right choice. But you should try one out just to get the feel of it. Make sure you take it on some technical downhill to get the thrill of having the suspension take over and just suck you down the terrain. It's almost like you hang on and the bike does the riding.
I purchased this bike a month ago. Absolutely love this bike.
Yea those are dream bikes! I went with the Regular Stumpjumper Carbon Comp in the white color 9 months ago.
Dream bikes for sure!

Happy 41 years old Stumpy! That cash bronze color is sick. This bike has evolved into quite a work of art.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏
No doubt!

IMO its my kind of bike that way. Prefer SRAM and prefer FOX, plus the price is not outrageous.
This wasn’t a review.
@@Stickybutton Ugh. OK.. "Nice presentation and description of a bike that is in no way a review.".... Better?
The bike you're featuring is an S2 but weight was listed as S4. So is the weight for an S2 or S4? Thanks for the video!
This is the bike I wish I could purchase
Thanks James for the great description of the bike! I think that Specialised is upgrading the specs on their bikes!! Brands Like Deity, One up, when it counts the most!!! cheers
Cheers!
I have the version in S2 size, but the length of the frame is a little short. Is this normal and should I be looking for a S3 size?
Very well done.
Most excellent review.
Just subscribed.
Keep it up yo!!!!
RUBBER SIDE DOWN!!!
How tall are you and what size is bike?
What's the model of the chain guide? Thanks buddy 😊

Hey, did you end up wrapping the bike or put on some other form of protection?
And how do you like the bike?
Cheers
Put an order in getting the bike this Saturday. I hope the hub is okay or I can easily upgrade it.
Nice enjoy!
This, or the Comp Alloy? Do the frames have warranty?
If your pocket can handle it, always go carbon. Frames are lifetime carbon or aluminum warranty
Hola, buenos videos, puedes hacer una revision de la specialized enduro comp carbon 2017 color negro charcoal ? Es la que tiene ambas suspensiones rock shock , saludos.
the sticker on the bike you visited was S2, while when you weigh the bike you say s4.... did you weigh an s2 or an s4?
Nice reflectors 😁😁
Safety first 🦺
@@Jamesthebikeguy 😅🙏
Nike says s2 but when you weighed the bike it says s4 in the description 🤷♂️
what size was this?
S2
How tall are you?
Front chainring is 30T not 32T.

160 travel and a 63 headtube angle , why isn't this considered an Enduro ?
Because bikes keep getting bigger. It's definitely still a all mountain bike. Trail these days is up to 140 mm travel.
Wow. That bike scares me. It just looks complicated 🤔. But cool
It's the bottle cage haha
For sure. I'm a simple guy. Hard tail all the way. I will never be good enough to justify a bike like that. Wouldn't mind trying one though.

I bought exactly the same bike yesterday but without reflecters.😑
Take it back and get what you paid for!
why are there reflectors and a pie plate on this high model of a bike... smh
Because of silly US bike sales laws.
