I purchased this frame from Backcountry .com using this affiliate link here: bit.ly/3eePvsJ Please join me here on RU-vid for a Live Stream Thursday evening, January 19th at 8:00 PM MST. We will discuss this Stumpjumper, how it compares with bikes in the category and bikes I've spent a lot of time on including the Ibis Ripley, Pivot Trail 429 and Rocky Mountain Element. We'll catch up, joke around and just have a good time!! See you live here on RU-vid Thursday evening!!

@billyboy1714 Год назад

I own a '21 Stumpjumper Carbon Expert that I bought in January '21 when bikes were really hard to find. Previously I had a '19 Stumpjumper Alloy Comp. The transition to the new bike was a little more than I expected, and it took me a little while to get the bike dialed in. The factory recommended set-up doesn't work for me at all, but I found the right set-up after about 4 or 5 rides. I love this bike! I live in a hilly area of North Florida and we have a variety of MTB trails, ranging from flat and flowy to extremely technical and rooty. The Stumpjumper is the perfect platform for our trails. My bike is mostly stock. The only change I have made is to install a shorter stem to make the cockpit fit me a little better. I went with a 33 mm Renthal Apex 35 stem. I have considered installing a Fox 36 fork, but I think it would be over-forked for our trails. Specialized choice of a 34 fork with 140 mm of travel, in my opinion, provides a good balance of weight savings and rigidity, particularly given that this is a trail bike. The OEM tire size is another area where I think Specialized made a good choice. They achieved some weight savings (over the previous version of the Stumpjumper, which had a 2.6" tire) with the 2.35" tire. I miss the extreme traction of a wider tire, but the 2.35" tire with an aggressive tread pattern provides reasonably good traction - the tradeoff is worth it, for sure. Since I bought my bike, the Stumpjumper has become pricey, though maybe not in comparison to the competition. The '21 Stumpjumper Carbon Expert was initially released at a price of $4,695, I think. It now has a considerably higher price. But it's a great bike!

@Rambler_13 Год назад

I love my Stumpy! I sold both my 21 Ripley and Switchblade last year for the Stumpy and Stumpy Evo as I was so impressed with both bikes. You said it best with the geo. The geo on both just suited me from the start. I slacked the Evo to 63.5 deg to further delineate the 2 bikes.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Yep, the S3 just feels right when I get on it!

@user-rj9ui3sz8u Год назад

@kc5328 Год назад

Sold my '18 RM Instinct A70 (140/140) last year for the '22 SS Expert and it's amazing how different two trail bikes can be. I loved that Rocky. The Stumpy is immediately lighter and more responsive in every direction you point it. I really appreciate this conversation and all the group-think it generates! I'm still in the 'dialing it in' mode and there are some great ideas here. The Ripmo was on my short list as I think I miss the slightly beefier build so I'm intrigued with some of the front end mods mentioned here today. Jason--I really appreciate what you do. Your authenticity around all-things-bike, passion for riding, and the way you keep it real for the novice junkies like me is great. In fact, you helped me purchase my last two bikes!

I bought my 2022 Specialized stumpjumper Evo alloy almost a year ago now in S4 I'm 195 at 6ft. This bike is really nice and I couldn't be happier. My 1st ride with it drove from Minnesota to NW Arkansas to Bentonville and did most the places down there in 4 days put on 80 miles. Came back and over the summer did an additional 600 miles over the summer here. Can't wait for summer again

@mtbyumyum Год назад

@dannycazares7683 Год назад

I'm 5"11 do you think it'll make a difference from S3 to s4?

@Axxxmann Год назад

@dannycazares7683 I was on the edge of either s3 or s4. Honestly try both at a local shop and decide. S4 gives more stability s3 is a little more playful and can maneuver a little more for jumps. All comes down to personal preference.

@steveh485 Год назад

Nobody, NOBODY talks during a ride as well as you do and I love it. Its raw and genuine review. Kudos. Not been a Specialized fan of for a long time. I had 2 Stumpys in the past but went Santa Cruz/ Pivot10 years ago. May give them another look.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

I appreciate that, thank you!! Yeah, I totally understand the departure from big S... Pivot, Ibis and Santa Cruz all have better suspension than Specialized and you're getting a higher quality suspension system..... that said, this new Stumpy is incredibly light weight, not horst link and surprisingly zippy and agile. I realize it's not for everyone but it's the sort of bike I really get along with for my riding style and trail system. It sort of slots in nicely between the Ibis Ripley and Ripmo in terms of weight, ability and composure. It's been a lot of fun... now I just need to figure out a way to get more traction out of this bike lol

@rcplanefunguy1212 Год назад

Just adding my 2 cents. I demoed a stumpy a few months ago and really liked it but for me at 185 and knowing I sometimes try silly lines, the flex stays made me nervous. Instead I went with a Ripmo while they were on sale but I used a shorter stroke dpx2 (50 vs 55mm) and a fox 36 at 140mm. Along with that I used a single offset bushing resulting in a 65 degree head angle and lower bottom bracket 140/133 bike (almost identical to the stumpy). So far it’s been amazing. Very efficient, responsive, and capable.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

I'm so glad you weighed in on this.... The Stumpy for me sort of slots in nicely between the Ripley and Ripmo in terms of weight and ability. I totally agree with you about the Ripmo and having it set up how you do... I wish Ibis would have stuck with the fox 36 and float x (dpx2) for that bike but oh well... they're trying to make it their enduro bike now... In any case, the Ripmo has a confidence level much higher than the stumpy at higher speed even for a light weight rider like me so I completely hear and understand what you're talking about. Glad you brought this up.... I will be sure to address this in the live stream Thursday evening. Thank you!!

@oliverburke3743 Год назад

Wow. Sounds like an awesome build Would love to try that

@brianwilliams2907 Год назад

That sounds exactly like what I want to do to my Ripmo. What kind of bushing did you use to get this to work?

@rcplanefunguy1212 Год назад

@@mtbyumyum On that note, I also tried the Ripley a few years ago but I didn't really gel with it. It did feel fast and efficient but it didn't feel very flickable/playful as a short travel bike (for reference I'm 6'0'), and the suspension wasn't supportive enough for me. I ended up going with a v3 5010 as my fun casual bike. I will say that there is something special about a 65 degree headangle and a 44mm offset 29er fork. It feels direct and stable without being floppy or sluggish. My current Ripmo setup handles more intuitively than the Ripley I demoed but is way more capable. It's just fast everywhere.

@rcplanefunguy1212 Год назад

@Pick n move Yeah thats a big reason I didn't want a 160mm fork. The 140 keeps it from sinking too much when out of the saddle. The rear suspension should't be that different as far as antisquat goes because offset bushing cancels out shorter shock sag putting the wheel sag point at almost the same as stock.

@akaktm Год назад

I’ve been on Ripleys and Ripmos a lot and had many other bikes. I recently built a very similar Stumpjumper with a Fox 36 150 fork up front and it is excellent. It splits the different between the Ripley and Ripmo and the frame is lighter than either plus the SWAT box. The Stumpy really is hard to beat and if you don’t want to spend S-works price, the lesser model carbon Stumpjumpers are the same frame but with an aluminum rather than a carbon link. Identical performance and only a little heavier. I’ve had an S-works and a Carbon Comp that I upgraded modestly. Both fantastic.

@petedog9581 Год назад

I put a Rock Shox Pike Ultimate 150 on my Stumpy. Made the head angle better after I adjusted the stack. It is perfect now and more travel. I wish I would have waited to make the upgrade. Components are dirt cheap right now. Same 2023 fork is $350 cheaper than when I bought it in Nov 2022.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Anthony, I considered the 150mm fork but in the end wanted to keep it a little closer to stock... plus, I just didn't think this bike would be a direct competitor to the sb130/Ripmo so I kept it shorter. Next for me will be the mullet link and a small rear tire... very interested to see how it goes mixed wheels! Thanks for sharing!!

@adamdavis354 Год назад

Glad to hear you’re stoked on it! I love mine, built it up with the more dh oriented traverse carbon wheels, 2023 super deluxe ultimate and lyric ultimate (at 150mm). Went for trp dhr evo brakes and I’ve absolutely loved putting this thing into some silly situations! Turns so well, accelerates like a beast!

@JoshTaylor Год назад

I just built up 2 carbon SJ's, one for me and then my wife in the same S-Works color (dusty blue pearl). Prior to purchasing the first frame, I heard from a local shop that is well known for Specialized builds about a serious XC racer who replaced his Epic Evo w a Stumpjumper as it was nearly as light, just as fast, but much more capable when the trails became rowdy, which is crucial for all day race events. I'm 5'11", about 170 lbs, w an S3 and I ran mine w a 90mm Kovee Pro inverted stem for XC events last year to get low and keep the front down on steep climbs. If I'm not racing a course w loads of elevation then I run a 60mm stem. I'm torn on if I should have went for a S4, but I really do love the lightness and maneuverability of the S3. Also building up a mullet wheelset to try w the flip chip in high. Pedal strikes are real w this frame.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Thanks for weighing in. Bikes sound awesome!

@gabeah Год назад

That stumpy with putting the fox 36 140mm reminds me exactly of the Trail 429 Enduro build. Shorter travel snappiness and versatility with a solid 36 fork for more aggressive lines. Really versatile trail bikes. 👍🏼

I just built up a 2022 Stumpy carbon with the Roval carbon wheels, Lyrik fork, GX drive train with descendant cranks, OneUp carbon bars, Bontrager dropper, and Guide brakes (weighs 28 3/4 lbs with pedals). After only 2 rides I feel I have it well dialed in and it's fast and responsive. I am also surprised at how composed it is even over big chunk and technical terrain. With the right suspension settings I feel the traction is good, I'm not having a ton of trouble keeping the tires planted.

Love your build. I built mine originally with a 34 and DPS. Kept blowing through the DPS even with correct sag and the biggest volume reducer. Switched it over to a Float X and 36 and it's such better bike now for me. Really feels like the trail bike I was looking for now and handles everything the Southeast can throw at it (short of windrock).

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Interesting. That might be the next step for me… I need to get the rear feeling better. Thx!

@allencolby Год назад

@@mtbyumyum it's a night and day difference imo. I have a mediun sized spacer in the float x, so it gives better compliance than the DPS but doesn't blow through it's travel on bigger hits. For me though, we have lots of rocks, roots, and squared edged stuff in GA and southeast area so rear compliance was the name of the game.

If rear compliance is the name of the game you're on the wrong bike my dude!! Pivot is your chariot for traction bro!

@allencolby Год назад

@@mtbyumyum word. Assume you mean the trail 429. Float X on the stumpy is still poppy, don't get me wrong. That flex stay is like a spring board regardless the shock. Just helps give a little more comfort for our terrain.

I'm 5'10" and went with an S3 as well. I installed the mullet link almost immediately and love it. My trails are basically a pump track/slalom in a forest. Having a smaller mullet bike is so much fun. Like you I found that running around 40 to 45 psi over body weight feels the best. Thought about adding a larger token to the shock, but the bike feels good with more psi. It really doesn't lose any off the top suppleness. I'm running a fox 34 up front which is fine for my trails and abilities, but I'm getting the same feeling as you about needing something a little more stout up front. I have a Cane Creek Helm that I will be using once a decide on either 140mm or 150mm.

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Nice, your bike sounds rad! I need to try the mullet link in the spring. As for the 36 up front... it was an easy decision for me. This bike can really hold speed down hill. It's not that it has the charging sensation you get on heavy robust enduro bikes but it has the geo to handle higher speeds and the 36 just makes me feel a bit safer over 22+ mph

@cmcjvcltcbmc Год назад

I went from a Ripley V4 to a 2022 Stumpjumper Expert. My opinion of the SJ is not the same as yours, as I bought another Ripley and am selling the SJ. The SJ is a great bike, it just doesnt have the same fun factor as the Ripley, for me. Enjoy the new bike!

I’ve got a 2020 Tallboy V4 CC with upgraded fork to Fox factory 36 with 140 and I’ve called it the best all-around mtn bike as it does everything really well. I’ve recently also just added the cascade components link to increase rear suspension from 120 to 128. HTA with 140 fork now at 65 and sta at 76.5. All inline with your stumpy. But has the VPP link.

Have an 06' 25th Aniversary Stumpy I am restoring to an excellent Bikepacking, general use, ride-the-divide type bike. Much of it is similar for how long ago, and I hope to succeed the build & get similar enjoyment. Yes that suspension height adjustment is present here on my 05' FSR XC & I have never moved it. I always wondered but just left it in what I think is low. I think the S-Works has it too. Long proven geometry. I like the storage hatch on the newer ones, and I like bigger wheels, though the 26" S-works seems to clear 27.5 × 2.1 no problem with a 27.5 Recon Fork, and 2.3 might barely squeeze in back. For general trekking, few jups, but some stumps, this I think will be fine. Awesome video. Maybe I will find a frame like that in a couple years. On a side note: on my headset I do not love how the top of it seals, like how it looks like dust & rain can just blow in. I thought of looking for a wide rubber washer to fit in there. I like that Ibis bike. Rode em' up in Traverse City, Mi. Great shop. Evidently in 06' mine retailed for $7,300 which is not hard to believe, and the new ones are like 8-10k! Pardon if this sounds nosy, but I am a carpenter looking for a new career: what type of work are you in? Like do you know a good way to get started, or some good bike shops to work for?

I'll try both out and report back if I find anything noteworthy. Thanks for the review.

Just finished watching your review - i had a similar progression as you - came from a Tallboy (similar to the Ripley in terms of geometery and travel). For me the stumpjumper just has “more better” of everything I had and loved on that platform, with the added benefit in my case of being lighter. I’m currently trying to decide if it will be my “XC-ish bike” this year. I’ve also got a Stumpjumper Evo for bigger stuff and park days. Funny story though, i’m 5’5” and have a S3 Stumpy, but a S2 Evo 🫠

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Yeah, it's wild how light weight this bike is and can still handle high speeds well. The geo is spot on in my experience mixed with this light weight package is very appealing. Similar geo as the Ripmo but just does it in a different way. I really like this as a light weight set up. Would be fun to have an Evo but the Ripmo just does that category better in my experience. Or even the Evil Offering.

@MichaelRyanCaputo Год назад

@@mtbyumyum Agree with the lightweight sentiment! I’ve got Berd XC wheels on mine with Ray/Ralph tires. It’s hovering around the 25lb mark - which is why its pretty much an overbuilt XC machine for me at the moment. I’ve not ridden the ripmo, but have heard good things. The Evo is such a versatile bike though with the head angle adjust and flip chip in the back though (I leave it in the long/low setting).

@mkviz Год назад

I did a test ride on this and like the feedback from the rear wheel as I pedal. I tested a Ripley and it has a vague type of feedback but it does pedal efficiently. I tested an S2 Specialized and a Small for Ibis. Now looking at the geo on the Ibis, the size medium is very similar to the S2 except for the extra 20mil of reach and slightly longer wheelbase (3mils). What bothered me with the Ripley and other size small bikes were that my knees were close to the bar whereas the SJ I didnt have knee clearance issues. I'm at that weird size where I fall at the tall end of the small and the short end of a medium. The small Ripley put me in a more upright position, but I prefer the longer reach on an S2 SJ. I ride road bikes so I like leaning a bit more. Even though I'm no expert, your review between the two is kinda (not really) similar to my experience. I liked the riding position of the SJ than the compactness of the Ripley, but now I have to take a test ride on a size medium to see if it fits me better.

You ride so many bikes, I’m curious your go-to these days. I’m in the market for my first bike so binging videos lately. Seems like the Ripley stood out for you. I live in Park City.

Probably mostly blue trails, occasional black. Nothing too crazy. Chasing outdoors, nature and exercise with friends

@mtbyumyum Год назад

Sorry, just seeing this now... It's hard to beat the Ripley... it's so good and I think Salt Cycles has a deal on them right now... in any case, if you're riding pretty chill, mostly blue, this is your bike!! If you want to get the speed up higher, maybe mess around on some more difficult terrain you might like the extra safety and support of the Yeti SB140... but for just the occasional black, the Ripley will for sure do the job! Call Chris at Salt Cycles, 801-943-8502 and tell him I sent you... He can also custom build it for you including a longer 140mm fork if you want a little extra safety and support without going all the way up to the SB140 mid travel bikes... good luck and welcome back to the sport!

Longer stem is nice to sort of slow things down just a little and give you a more stretched out feel.... nice on the climbs and traversing varied terrain.

I really like the geo of the Stumpy but other than that, I'm not a fan of the Stumpy. Instead, I think the Epic Evo and especially, the Stumpy Evo are much better bikes. With the Stumpy Evo, the geo can be adjusted from Downcountry to Enduro and even though it has more travel, it still pedals very efficiently. These newer longer travel pedal much better than they did even a few years ago. Put the Stumpy Evo in the steepest shortest geo with Rekons and it's very Downcountry. Put the Stumpy Evo in the slackest longest geo with a serious set of Minions and it's ready to Enduro. Currently, I've got my Stumpy Evo set up in Downcountry mode and I'm loving it. I don't find that the long travel is holding me back in any way. In fact, I find that the longer travel gives me much more traction and still pedals just as well as shorter travel bikes I've owned. And of course, it descends much better than my shorter travel bikes.

I have it set at the steepest 65* head angle with Maxxis Rekon tires, 2.6 front and 2.4 rear. It weighs 31 pounds. Be aware that most new versions of long travel bikes climb and pedal much better than they did in the past. With steeper seat angles and more anti-squat, many long travel bikes pedal and climb as well as shorter travel bikes. In terms a pedaling efficiency, I give the Stumpy EVO a "B". There are some long-travel designs that pedal and climb better like the Pivot Switchblade, Yeti SB140 LR, and Ibis Ripmo but they also cost a lot more. And with the Stumpy EVO, your can adjust to the 63* head angle, install some aggressive rubber, and turn it into an extremely capable Enduro Bikepark bike. When I bought the Stumpy EVO, I was afraid that it would be overly long and slack, heavy, pedal poorly, and roll slowly but none of that is true. Before I bought this bike, I thought that a short travel Downcountry bike was the ideal way to ride, but now I don't think that I would buy a bike with less than a 160mm fork.
