You need to make it so that the front and rear pannier racks are the same. Alternatively the rear rack should come from the factory able to mount a pannier. What's the point of a rear rack that can't do that? That's a major fail.
I rented the older model last week in San Diego and it is crazy powerful. I own the Vado SL which is much lighter but has about a third the power and love it. On this one, even on the ECO setting I could go up some pretty crazy hills, when I went to SPORT or TURBO, I was flying up hills I would never attempt with a conventional bike. I have now owner three Specialized bikes and they are fantastic.
I got myself a pair of these with laces. I only have lace type shoes. I came from a pair of GIRO shoes. Can't say much as long as they are comfortable. At $350 they are in line with other shoes I've purchased. I didn't get any faster if you're thinking of buying a pair.
Hello. The display (tcd2) on the Como 4 is black. According to the dealer the display battery is empty and I have to connect an USB-C adapter to charge it. I think that the dealer is wrong. I cannot believe that there is a battery inside. But I tried anyway. There is also no beep sound and I cannot use the 2,5 year young bike. What can be wrong? The 'normal' battery is fully charged (4 leds on battery are green and adapter is green.
I DRAAAAAAAAAAAANK AN EIGHT BALL OF COKE AND NOOOOOOOOOW IM WRECHED AND BROKE AS I STARE INTO THE ENDLESS AETHOS I SLAP MY DIPPER IN WOE OH sorry i had to
Is there a clearer picture sliders mount on the t-nuts? When I get one screw started the t-nut binds and doesn't slide. I mean to say the screw is just started to thread there is no way it is hitting the rail. The t-nut also sits a little low in the rail so the hole isn't centered.
I love my stumpjumper. But have already tried wireless shifting. Spent a bunch of money trying to get rid of it with its replacement. Gonna pass on this one. Maybe you guys will release alloy frame with cable routing??❤
@@PriceKrispies725 correct 👍 which is a bit of a gimmick in trail/enduro, proven by the fact manufacturers then put stickers around the piggyback can which reduces its cooling capacity
@@PriceKrispies725 Sort of...I phrased my question incorrectly. Basically, I'd rather the comparison be between this shock and one with a piggy back...It seems like Specialized's marketing campaign is aiming to get more aggressive riders, which is me, so trying to see through the marketing hype and determine if there's an advantage of this shock over the typical air shock with piggy back. I realize it's more oil, but typically piggy back shocks have low and high speed dampening, which helps change the ramp up (or down), right? These adjustments are not found on non-piggyback shocks. So, while I agree the oil is for temperature, but also it adds features. These features are is essentially what this is shock is doing, but with air, not oil. If that's the case, I'd just like to see a comparison between these 2 types of shocks.
@@mitchsargent5543oh I see what you mean. While adding high and low speed rebound and compression can help resist bottom out. They don’t necessarily change the progression or spring rate. So the resistance they provide at the beginning of the stroke is the same at the end of the stroke. This brings about the issue, at least for some riders, of having to find a happy medium between not enough sensitivity at early to mid travel or dealing with bottoming out more if they like the extra squish. That’s what specialized is trying to solve here. If you ask me, I think it’s pretty clever and if it rides how I think it does, it would be sick to see as a non proprietary shock for other bikes.
In genie there are three chambers, one small negative, big positive and third bottom out chamber. Fox used to make similar designs, one was named boost valve and later another made for Trek DRCV, but both of them was complex. Genie at first glance looks more simplified compared to previous ones.
Coil shocks with small air chambers exist, also the ones with hydraulic bottom out Cane creek tigon EXT storia Push industries shock i think RS vivid coil Im sure there are others
Specialized: $9k gets you a Stumpjumper 15 Pro Me: $4500 Pivot Firebird with factory suspension, xt drivetrain, Hayes dominion brakes, $3k YT Tues with Ohlins, and a $1k Transition PBJ dirt jumper. THREE brand new bikes for less than the cost of one Stumpjumper.
@@PriceKrispies725 the Brunch Ride build is $4999 retail wasn’t hard to ask around and get $500 off 👍🏻 I was lucky enough to upgrade the shifter to XT for $20 and sold the stock SLX brakes for $260 on Pinkbike and replaced them with the Hayes
@@robocalifornia that’s sick! Still, the brunch ride is kinda unique. Pivot definitely runs more pricey than Specialized in general. Sick bikes though!!
How will this new shock deal with bigger guys? I had to swap the stock shock on the Evo to get a ride that was supportive without being terrible on rough stuff.
Hello can please someone tell me where to find a video how to mount the controller of this unit ? I'm looking/searching this for many days now but Pppppffffffffffffffff...
You can't deny Specialized are innovators and really make a great product. I worked for Specialized dealers and at one point just got fed up with the way they did business. I swore I would never buy one of their products again, but when I started looking into EMTBs, I realized that they make one of the best EMTB platforms. I purchased a Specialized Turbo Levo Expert and I am happy to say I am back on the Specialized train. I'm looking forward to trying this new Stumpjumper. I have been riding since the days when steel tube fully rigid bikes were the norm and I have seen first hand the technology of this sport grow and some of it has been hit or miss, but this looks like a hit.
