If you actually want a Stumpy Evo, the carbon Comp is on sale at $3750, discounted from $5400. It’s still not cheap but with the upgraded GX Eagle component, the comp is a good value.
They’re almost dumb when it comes to price. not in performance tho. but it only cost a manufacturer 1000 dollars to make all of these super expensive enduro rigs. just because of the s-works badge specialized some how adds 10000 dollars. it’s stupid as hell.
@@mtblunatic8829 They cost more than 1000 dollars to make, and then there are the components as well. most of the money pays for quality control and R&D
For the travel on this bike that's pretty damn slack still. I've got a 160 170 with basically the same hta. If it floats the riders boat I guess that's all that matters. I do wonder what will be too slack though.
Thanks for the review, and for the mentioning the PB podcast. I discovered it by accident last week and have been really enjoying the content. Hopefully others will, too.
Dear Pinkbike, could you please in future use an alternative colour to the red font used in the ‘Tech Specs’ section @1:30? Yours sincerely, A somewhat colour blind mountain biker.
I don’t have the money to spend 11000 dollars on a new mountain bike. I do free ride only once a year and in whis so I won’t need a super expensive enduro bike. I usually ride local trails and I’m still over biked. I have a 2020 yt izzo pro and it is fast and nimble in sketchy places has a slacker geometry and most of the components are better for half the price
@@mtblunatic8829 Hence I compromised and got the expert level which is much more reasonable for what you get and essentially has the same frame as the s-works model.
@yhigma dude that wasn’t the point of my reply. I’ve been mountain biking for 10 years now. I’ve done frees riding in the past dh amd enduro. but I started out on a budget Hardtail. not everyone has the money to get an S-WORKS stumpy for they’re beginning days. i then switched to an affordable dh bike and have ridden it for years until I moved to a new home and had a lot of painful climbs. I sold my demo 8. and got the izzo pro. My point is that not everyone gets to get royal treatment when it comes to mtb. My saying here really is that you don’t have to have the greatest and the latest to shred and have fun.
@@mtblunatic8829 Cool story. I was talking about this specific bike in the video. Ride whatever you want. I couldn't care less. I have multiple bikes, but I'm talking about the one in the video now.
I just bought a stumpy EVO frame, going to slap a push coil front/rear and keeping 150 front and rear. That with all my carbon parts I’m swapping from my old bike should make this a good all around trail ripper.
Probably would ride not as good as if you kept a 29er fork bumped up +10mm and then threw on a 27.5 wheel up front with the mullet link and 27.5 rear. Keeping the bike in the high position should make it pretty good.
Hi sir, i am your biggest fan from the Philippines. I hope that your gonna notice me. I wish that I have also a mtb or parts of mtb. I wish that i you will get a lot of subscribers, keepsafe and Godbless you all.
For me the sc Hightower was the best bike in This category. How would you discribe the difference between this two bikes? Is the stumpjumper Evo the better bike?
I just bought the fuse. I didn’t buy the rockhopper because it isn’t really trail oriented. The fuse is only like 200 bucks more. the rockhopper doesn’t even support modern upgrades and geo adjustments. there is affordable mountain bikes in there lineup you just have to look
Back when I bought my stumpy wasn't the evo a thing, at least not where I live. And I am still impressed how efficient it was on the pedals and I had no need to swap it out one and a half year ago but I got a great price for a trek remedy so I couldn't pass up the opportunity. But I ran that bike from 2010 to autumn 2019 and it was great all the time
You mentioned the Ripmo pedals a bit better. How does it compare to the Ripmo, especially the Ripmo AF, descending? I was/am looking hard at the Ripmo AF, but this definitely complicates things lol
Vital said there would be an aftermarket rear triangle for purchase so that you could go for a mullet. I agree though, the EVO should be very fun oriented
I'm 5'8 and love my 210mm one up. This should be a bigger priority for bike manufactures Id rather have a 210 dropper that cost 200 dollars than anything else. .
I have both a 2020 Enduro and 2020 Evo. The Evo is more playful while the Enduro is more smash and grab. Both are very effective on steep/fast/rough trails but totally different feel. The Enduro makes you feel superhuman in the rough and the Evo makes you feel superhuman in the corners.
Seems like a solid choice for the one bike to do all. The Comp is the model I'd go for, Specialized site says 4.1k USD. Wonder if they'll come out with an AL model to compete with the Ripmo AF? Regular Stumpy will probably just be this 150F/140R Fox 34/RS and inline shock.
for a lift bike... the EVO would be a way better trail bike in tight tech... personally don't have a desire for the new Enduro... If I update from the 2015 Carbon 26er enduro it would be to the EVO
Hey, I also have a 2020 EVO. I installed a FOX 36 - 160 mm fork but I left the rear stock. Did you use your bike stock and did the change make it worse at climbing?
quite different. Way better at pedaling and much more adjustable geo. The status is probably more playful, but its short chainstays make it less stable.
@@graysonadams2485 Yeah id get a previous gen evo over a status. More versatile geo and prob less demnand now that the new evo came out. The status is also cheaper because it uses older gen enduro linkage, which is much cheaper r&d to recoop.
@@indigosumo1994 it has most of what I want. I don’t want anything above an SLX drivetrain because I don’t want to deal with replacing worn out bits on a higher end drivetrain, and the suspension is already decent. I’d probably upgrade the brakes to Hayes Dominion A4’s eventually and maybe get a better fork, but that’s about it.
Would the 2020\1 PIVOT SWITCHBLADE beat this bike in every aspect? Climbing, sprinting, descending, tight turns, NOT destroyer of pedals and cranks, flat surfaces, roots, rock gardens, etc. overall quality, quality control...
I'm coming from a specialized 26 in Enduro and I'm concerned that the more stretched out bikes with a slack front end and a heavier 29in wheel it's going to make getting the front up in the air and doing something like a coaster Willie going to be much more difficult has anyone noticed this or is this not really that much of a problem
Out here watching this vid and thinking about getting another $10000 bike to sit around my garage lol! I only ride once a week due to work schedule but I really wanna get some trail bike to check how does it compare with my '21 SCOTT SPARK RC 900 on the downs!!
It usually goes by travel and geo numbers, but to put it simply a Norco sight, Spesh Evo, Etc. with 150/160mm and 29” wheels can smash through a lot of stuff but you might find the end of that rear shock stroke sooner than you’d like. A spesh enduro, RM altitude, Pole Stamina etc., you can do the same things and have less of a chance of coming undone by the bike being out of its depth.
There’s a lot of overlap but just think of it as an Enduro bike is for the racing discipline where it’s worth the sacrifice of climbing ability and weight for all out downhill stability and speed. All mountain bikes still have fairly big travel numbers but are a little more uphill friendly, maybe a little lighter and agile than a full Enduro bike.
Great bike , rides smooth ruclips.net/user/postUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L I added a bigger spring loaded seat to it . Takes a bit of adjusting cables to get brakes and shifting to perfect . I've owned quite a few bikes in the past that were absolutely uncomfortable to ride and they always ended up as garage wall decor . I'm not seeing that with this one. It's pretty light I've only ridden it a few miles but I like it . As for the pedals falling off in the other reviews , the pedal arms are aluminum along with the pedal studs look to be also . I would not overtighten them. I can see it would be very easy to overtighten them and strip the threads right off . All in all I think it's pretty good quality besides the aluminum pedal thing
IMO, it’s way more adjustable than the SB, and once you get used to the swat box you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. I haven’t had to wear a backpack/Camelback in years, just a small hip pack and that in itself is a game changer. The expert model seems to be the best bang for the buck. I currently have the 2019 Evo pro and it rips.
Well one more bike to cross shop, still leaning towards getting a Ripmo, but I have not been able to demo anything since everyone decided to become a mountain biker this year. Old Remedy will have to last one more season.
muy buena bicicleta, pero me gusta verlas, pero nunca la compraría porque los cuadros cuando ya tiene 5 años ya no se pude saltar porque los cuadros se parten, yo prefiero los cuadros a aluminio, y mas el los cuatros de titanio son mas confiables y dura de por vida que el cuadro de carbono
Specialized doesn't yet produce the Roval Traverse 38 SL Fattie in a 29. That 38mm inner rim would mate well with 2.6 GRID tires and this Evo build. That gets you the max performance from this bike.
I feel these reviews are too specs based. Where’s the esoteric description of how it rides? Where’s the talk about ‘feel’?? Basically, Mike, please give us a review that can be differentiated from a detailed spec sheet analysis! ...oh wait...are the differences between bike brands all determined by what fits on a sheet of paper? My bad. Shame though.
Agreed - also I was wondering why they seem to review the top of the range bike (which realistically are probably the fewest bought) when they should review the "cheapest" (often more than used cars) which the majority of ppl will buy.
I’m looking to find the cheapest way to get this. I’m fine with buying this at anywhere between 1,000 and 2,500. In other words, I have a wayyy too expensive hobby for my current financial status.
Hey y'all pinkbike does anybody know if water left over time on the bottom bracket shell, accumulated by the condensation on that hydration bag can cause damage to the carbon fiber?
I ride this bike now since two months and it is "ok" but not "very good" in any way. Good things: Versatile geometry with lots of possible adjustments and a nice look and feel in general (not overly stiff, balanced geometry), but I found many problems so far. The fork shows strong bushing play, the DPX2 had some air inside the hydraulics, the paint job is so bad, if u remove some dust with your gloves on the paint will actually scratch. Plus, after removing the protection film form the frame the paint became lose and is now stuck to the protection film in one area. This should not be the case in this price category :( didnt have any problems with my Transition Patrol's (2x) that I rode the last 6 years so now I try to get a replacement frame... I hope this will be fixed soon so that I can go out and ride my bike again.
Why? Get an YT and you will watch the dentists who ride once per month on their 10k bikes eat backwheel. Or simply get a used bike. You don't HAVE to buy a new bike every year just because Specialized or whoever tells you their new overpriced bike is the jizz.
@@TeamCykelhold I'm not trying to buy a new bike every year. The last bike I owned for 21 years! Bikes have just gotten so expensive, especially fs, that even entry level bikes are hard to afford.

Lol wut 50 miles and 11k ft on a single ride
this guys all the sudden on a road bike
Problem with the lower end Stumpy's is that the Wheel sets are crap. Had to sell my s3 too small
I ride this bike now since two months and it is "ok" but not "very good" in any way. Good things: Versatile geometry with lots of possible adjustments and a nice look and feel in general (not overly stiff, balanced geometry), but I found many problems so far. The fork shows strong bushing play, the DPX2 had some air inside the hydraulics, the paint job is so bad, if u remove some dust with your gloves on the paint will actually scratch. Plus, after removing the protection film form the frame the paint became lose and is now stuck to the protection film in one area. This should not be the case in this price category :( didnt have any problems with my Transition Patrol's (2x) that I rode the last 6 years so now I try to get a replacement frame... I hope this will be fixed soon so that I can go out and ride my bike again.
Pros: You can fit a burrito in the frame for lunchtime. Cons: It's not a Ripmo.
I really have to stop watching these reviews of unobtainable bikes. Makes the ones I can afford look bad by comparison.
Why? Get an YT and you will watch the dentists who ride once per month on their 10k bikes eat backwheel. Or simply get a used bike. You don't HAVE to buy a new bike every year just because Specialized or whoever tells you their new overpriced bike is the jizz.
@@TeamCykelhold I'm not trying to buy a new bike every year. The last bike I owned for 21 years! Bikes have just gotten so expensive, especially fs, that even entry level bikes are hard to afford.
@@xcskidude i guess it depends on budget. You can get some pretty good budget FS bikes these days. Look at bossnut for example
All those adjustments ,just to complicated for me. I’m sure it’s a spectacular ride but I’m not chasing a world title. I mostly ride alone ☹️
