I’ve had this bike for about two months and it’s pretty great! I bought this model specifically because i plan on upgrading everything over the next two years. I like to tinker with my bikes, so it wouldn’t make sense to buy a higher end model. I’m surprised by the base setup though. Everything works pretty well! The rear shock and brakes are probably the weakest link. This thing definitely needs some 4 piston brakes. Other than that, this thing shreds! It rides like a Cadillac and gets off the ground pretty nicely. Is not the most playful thing in the world, but i have a feeling that can change with some lighter upgrades. If you are looking for a short travel trail bike that can do just about anything, you can’t go wrong with this one!
I rented this bike on a short work trip. I was pretty impressed. The weight didn't really bother me either. Mind you the shop was really good at maintaining their rental fleet and adjusted tire , fork, shock pressures properly for my weight.
Very happy! I basically rebuilt it from the ground up. I used a marzocchi bomber z1 at 150mm in the front and marzocchi bomber air in the back. I replaced the drivetrain with sram gx. I used magura mt5 brakes and i put on Hunt Endurowide wheels. I also installed a cascade link. It gave me a bit more travel in the back. I ride a lot of chunk and needed the bike to be a bit beefier. I probably spent way too much on upgrades but it was well worth it.
I love mine! All those entry level components are helping me build my sons bike. I said I would replace them as needed but I completely stripped my Stumpy and upgraded every single part. Now it's an AMAZING bike.
Great overview on this Stumpjumper! I just purchased one from my local dealer and can't wait to ride it! It's getting dialed in for my body size and going tubeless. I had a Rockhopper 29 that I bought in 2020 and after riding that bike hard I decided to sell it and go full suspension. I also love the dropper post as a standard item on this bike. I bought the matte black stumpy.
I have the 2022 Stumpjumper Pro full carbon.....was almost $10k.....couldn't believe I spent that much money on a bike, but I love it....love love love it
Nice review. I have the 2021 and think it's a great bike. The only miss is the Eagle NX, it's just too slow down/up and a bit finicky so I'll be swapping for the Eagle GX. Suspension is good for the riding I do, I'm not super aggressive and it smooths out rough trails, logs and rock gardens nicely--- I frankly wouldn't know what to do with all the other adjustments that come with upgraded versions. I really like the geometry and the bike climbs well with the stock tires. The brakes are fine with good modulation and stopping power despite some reviewers complaining about them. Sure if I did tons of downhilling I might swap them out. Aside from the derailleur upgrade the only other thing I'm doing is turning the flip chip to the high position to give that a try. I'm 5'11" and the S4 is good for me and I think the S3 would be fine as well.
I got this bike last month. It is a solid bike and a lot of fun to ride. I went with the base alloy because there was nothing available in my size south of $6K. I upgraded to a GX derailleur and DPS Float Performance Elite. I am planning on putting a GX crank and Dub BB and that’s about it - I guess aside from the fork that would spec it above a comp alloy when I’m done. Definitely worth getting if you want to tinker and upgrade as you go. The frame is what’s important.
Have this bike on a matte black. I've owned it for a few months and have been going to my local trail on the weekends! This bike has been great and everything held up fine. No complaints to be honest. I have been riding this downhill at 25mph and no problems, rolls on any type of rocks/terrain and brakes with ease. For $2100 you can't go wrong with this! I also had my bike shop convert the tires to tubeless! It's a must!
I just purchased this bike for a steel and slapped a fox 36 grip x fork with a float x out back. Great starting point that just gets you out on the trails!
Had mine for 3 months and blew the original shock in 1 month due to aggressive downhill/ free-riding. I definitely look forward to upgrading almost everything.
I have the 2021 version of this bike. I did have to upgrade the shifter, cranks/bb, and the derailleur. I gotta say, it's been great. Handles well, can do some pretty aggressive trails, but thennext thing to upgrade is the hub/cassette, and suspension 😊
Thank you for the review. I appreciate the extra info you include of all the bikes aspects. It's nice to see someone finally include the weight of a comlete bike!
Bought it. Good price for a known brand full suspension. I liked it. Def some upgrades like the drivetrain and rear shock are a must but other then that just cosmetic like handles and pedals. Great bike. Screwed myself though as well bc right after i bought it sale went on a kona process for 200$ more with way better equipment. Fml. Oh well still happy ive always been a kona/specialized fan so win win
I ride the 2015 Stumpjumper EVO FSR, even if it's a 2015 model, I still love it, Rockshox Revelation 150mm and Fox Float CTD Evolution 150mm and 27.5, love this bike even if it's a 2×10
I like that you provide the MSRP right at the top. I'm in the market for an entry level full-suspension bike, and I love my StumpJumper hardtail, but it's 20 years old now. I'd actually prefer to get a used rig with the modern geometry under $2k, but that has been really hard to find. $2650 is really the price for a decent ride these days?
I have a chance to get this bike second hand for a song. Seriously I have paid more for a seat post and a derailleur. I think I'm gonna jump on it. Thanks for the review!
Damn I don’t see the value in new bikes, power spline bottom bracket basic basic drive train specialized brand parts doesn’t add up to 2650 it’s hard to justify ….great review thank you
It’s inflation This same bike was 2 grand 2 years ago when the 2021 models just started to hit the shelves I bought mine after the first price hike at 2250. They bumped it again to 2650 beginning of this year
I just brought one as a first time MTBer hoping it will be good for blue grade trails im not doing any black diamonds for a while obviously so didn't think I'd need to bankrupt myself just yet.
Thanks so much for this video I am such an idiot out this bike together today and watched the video and realized I did something wrong that was really dumb..
I have an older Stumpy ST from 2019 and the wheels look similar and I set them up tubeless with no problem at all. It would be weird if a newer version wouldn't work tubeless. Also I freakin hate the brakes
I saw this bike on Specialized website for online order. I am not a hardcore biker and did not play around at all with my previous mtn bike. I am curious if I will be able to assemble it by myself being a casual biker. My other question is what size I should order - I am 5'11"/6" male about 210lb. I had a Stumpjumper purchased from a friend and I did not even check the size. He was a little taller, maybe 6'1"/6'2", and lighter. I just tried the bike and it felt ok, but again I don't know so much about bikes. I wonder if you guys can give me some advice.
You need S4. As far assembly I would take it to bike shop. They know what they’re doing and will adjust the way it should be. I got one a week ago…i love this thing. I do mountain trails and general riding. But I took the bike on some steep technical trails and it handled great. Good luck.
Go with the S4, I'm also 5'11 on a S4 Carbon Comp. MY personally recommendation would be go with the next "upgraded" version of the Bike, the comp model ( alloy or Carbon) if you can. And do *not* build it yourself based on wha you where writing :) You need the right tools and understanding how do do that which is something you can acquire over a couple of months but not from the start.
How does it handle when your just general urban because I do it a lot when I’m not trail riding I tried my friends 150 rear 160 front and it was smooth going down stairs would this be smooth to?
Absolutely! Not a problem, a little less tire pressure and you are fine. I would recommend going with the Comp version of this bike personally, or take this bike if you plan to upgrade it over the years.
I have a 2021 made in July bought in November. I only have 44 miles on it but due to a thorn and ?? I had to patch both tubes. The rims seem to be taped, the tape saying tubeless, yeah the official specs don't say tubeless. James weighed an orange one and got 35.76 pounds, this one was less.
Specialized now has the Stumpjumper Alloy ($2099) and Status (140 or 160) $2249. Which would be the better choice? Thanks for any thoughts and opinions.
Totally different bikes. The stumpy is definitely the better choice for an all-rounder, but that status 140 seems like a nice bike if you wanted to get a little rowdy too
Check out the pinkbike's field test 2022 about budget trail bikes. The stumpy is tested and evaluated in those videos with detailed specs and sensations.
Lots of reasons. Most likely due to tires and build. The orange one had an older variant of the Purgatory Grid tire, my guess is these might be lighter. There is over 100g of grease built with a bike, so variations show. 100+ grams can be in what tubes are in the bike, especially when we think of the 2021 being a pandemic bike, cable brand & lengths could easily contribute 50g +/-, bottom bracket and chain choice - again orange one was a pandemic bike. And then lastly its a different scale that will contribute error one way or another. This is why I weight these bikes, all sorts of variables. While my weights shouldn't be taken as gospel, they give a pretty good starting place to see what something actually weights.
Thanks for the breakdown! I don't think it's wise to get the base level of any item. Chances are you'll be missing too many features or have lower quality parts. Best to get one step up 👍
It's frustrating because here in Australia, the jump to the Comp is nearly AU$2,000! If I were buying this, I'd sell the SRAM SX drivetrain and buy a Microshift Advent X setup - 10sp 11-48T is enough range, and then replace the brakes with a set of Shimano MT-520 four piston front and rear. That still leaves you with narrow wheels, an entry level shock and a heavy fork. Perhaps the used market would be useful here?
Trying to decide between a stumpy comp or expert and a trek top fuel 8 or 9.7. I'm in FL, which is pretty flat but believe both bikes are fairly similar with the exception of the fork travel. Any suggestions? Thanks.
First lemme ask what kind of trails you have access to. I’d imagine it’s all pretty much completely flat right? I was wondering if you need that sort of bike for what you ride.
@@dirtybird5773 not really. There are nice technical trails with ups and downs. Definitely do t have drops like up North like New Jersey or New York where’s I’ve ridin before. That being said there aren’t major down hill trails here but def not just flat terrain. Have you ever ridin in Florida?
This bike seems really low spec for the price, like for 2.5k you only get a rockshox 35 and sx eagle and tektro brakes? Like that's a bit stingy tbh, for around the same price, Polygon Siskiu T8 features Fox 34 fork... so tbh I would never go for any brand new Specialized bikes, even if they are good bikes, still way too expensive!
I’m looking at this bike and the bike has dropped in price . I’m in canada and they are selling them now for $3,000 CAD plus tax. I might pull the trigger since they have came down in price . A good all around bike for trails and jumps if needed
Do NOT buy this bike! I've been riding it hard for 7 months now and have replaced the derailleur, rear suspension, shifter, crank, bottom bracket. If you're just using it to ride easy trails, sure But if you plan to hit anything technical, or progress shop elsewhere! Either spec up for the comp version or get a YT, Polygon or other brand that sells better components at this price. The derailleur and bottom bracket are TRASH and BOTH gave me major problems within 6 weeks of riding.
Hi, I have been riding mtb enduro bikes for the last 14 years now. I have bought bikes from different manufacturers (Trek, Santa Cruz, YT). My latest purchase is the Specialized e-mtb Turbo Comp with an aluminum frame. First, the bike's quality/price ratio is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the market today... a very high price for the bike's poor-quality components. Secondly, their customer support is "WORTHLESS." It looks like people there are trained to reject claims! I say this because their answers show poor thought answers! Some of the problems with my bike: 1) I had to change the original front and rear tires after a few rides... The tubeless tire sealants were licking all over. 2) Within a year, the rear wheel hub collapsed... So I had to buy a new one. 3) The latest one is that the whole frame shows a severe corrosion problem. It is growing all over it at an incredible speed. MY HUMBLE ADVICE... Run away from Specialized bikes. There are many good bikes out there with better customer support services!
The BRAKES are fine unless you are doing tons of intense downhill. Swapping to the GX Eagle is fairly inexpensive to swap out and definitely would recommend doing the swap. The frame and geometry is outstanding on this bike.
@@siggismalls6269 you act like I don't own this bike and had to to replace a bunch of parts that broke because of cheap quality and ended spending at much at the comp alloy.
@@alabaster4263 what did you ride with this bike ? i own a Stumpjumper 2022 and it does the job well for its price. its not comparable to my Rose ThrillHill, but that bike costs over 3k more than the Stumpy... I had some Giant, Focus, KTM & Canyon bikes in the past and the Stumpy is the best allrounder for under 3k you can buy atm.
@@alabaster4263 I own this bike and I enjoy it but I'm kind of disappointed w performance. Wish I spec'd higher. What do you recommend replacing first? I'm thinking rear shock and brakes

What are your thoughts on this bike at $2099 versus the new Marin Rift Zone 2 at $2399 ? I feel like the Marin has better drivetrain and better fork.
Is this the Gloss Ca White Sage/Black?? In their stock photos this color looks more like a mint green. In your video it looks more blue.

My latest purchase is the Specialized e-mtb Turbo Comp with an aluminum frame. First, the bike's quality/price ratio is one of the worst, if not the worst, in the market today... a very high price for the bike's poor-quality components. Secondly, their customer support is "WORTHLESS." It looks like people there are trained to reject claims! I say this because their answers show poor thought answers!
Some of the problems with my bike:
1) I had to change the original front and rear tires after a few rides... The tubeless tire sealants were licking all over.
2) Within a year, the rear wheel hub collapsed... So I had to buy a new one.
3) The latest one is that the whole frame shows a severe corrosion problem. It is growing all over it at an incredible speed.
MY HUMBLE ADVICE... Run away from Specialized bikes. There are many good bikes out there with better customer support services!
Don't do it people the sx drivetrain is trash and the breaks are useless
The BRAKES are fine unless you are doing tons of intense downhill. Swapping to the GX Eagle is fairly inexpensive to swap out and definitely would recommend doing the swap. The frame and geometry is outstanding on this bike.
dont compare it to more expensive bikes.
for under 3k $/€ its a great value mtb.
@@siggismalls6269 you act like I don't own this bike and had to to replace a bunch of parts that broke because of cheap quality and ended spending at much at the comp alloy.
@@alabaster4263 what did you ride with this bike ? i own a Stumpjumper 2022 and it does the job well for its price.
its not comparable to my Rose ThrillHill, but that bike costs over 3k more than the Stumpy...
I had some Giant, Focus, KTM & Canyon bikes in the past and the Stumpy is the best allrounder for under 3k you can buy atm.
@@alabaster4263 I own this bike and I enjoy it but I'm kind of disappointed w performance. Wish I spec'd higher. What do you recommend replacing first? I'm thinking rear shock and brakes
Pretty much every component is crap for that price. Pretty good tires but that’s about it.
They gotta make money somehow lol. Fuse same thing...used to be $1400 and now for similar it's over $2000. Specialized is crossed off my list now.
@@Chris-de2qc ok kid, now remember dinner is at 7 so don't be late again!
