Definitely give the cascade link a go. I found it brings the bottom out resistance more in balance with the playfulness of the bike

@HcorDeM1ze Год назад

I threw the mullet link on, run a 2.8 in the back, 2.6 in the front moto style with the neutral head angle/High BB setting to make up for slight mullet drop. I ride everything comfortably like this. Slays corners, good for trail riding, feels great in the bike parks, jumps, and flow trails. *Low setting noticed too many pedal strikes on tech climbs. Love this thing.

Jeff, thank you for these in depth reviews. I recently bought this frame used based on your videos, and snagged a Z1 fork using your Jensen link. Saving up for wheels and I will be on the trail!

I bought a Stumpjumper Evo expert on sale and after a good amount of tuning with the suspension it's one of the best bikes I've ever ridden. Climbs soooo well and descends well too! I've recently slapped a rockshox super deluxe coil ultimate on it and it's running like butter I went from a Grip to a Grip2 damper and it felt like night and day

Hi Jeff, thank you for reviewing this bike I recently purchased a stump jumper evo. I am actually located in the Cupertino are and it was crazy to hear that you worked at the Cupertino bike shop. They actually went out of business recently which was very disappointing anyways thank you.

@Salespunk Год назад

What you are feeling while cornering is the 170 fork. I have had 3 SJ Evos and tried over forking them to 170 several times. HATED it every time. Bike does not want to initiate turns and once you get into the turn it wants to stand up. Drop the fork to 160 and then try the low BB/long CS setting. That with the 64 HA/mid up front was one of the best handling bikes I have ever ridden.

@stevesguitarschool3654 Год назад

StumpyEvo alloy owner of a year here, the missing LSC knob on the float X makes a big difference, you can add the knob to that shock as the shock is the se as the performance elite, just has a missing knob. Adding it gives it a more composure and allows you to settle it down when climbing. The geo adjust makes a huge difference, I run my high and slack with a 160 mullet (WRP yoke) and it feels great everywhere.

@colincoulthard3021 Год назад

Another vote for the geo adjust, it makes a significant difference to how the bike handles. High and steep for trail riding, low and slack for bike park, high and middle for enduro, low and steep for jump lines.

@duncanwright301 Год назад

Do you know part name/number for the LSC upgrade? I have an evo frame on the way and would love to do that instead of replacing the shock straightaway.

@johnnnewmex Год назад

Yeah the comments you made about the suspension are very accurate. It can feel a little too soft even with more damping and volume reduction. I like my SJ evo carbon but wouldn't mind if it were a bit more lively and less ground hugging.

I grabbed a '21 SJ Evo Expert just before the $1k price hike. Drove 10 hours round trip because it was the closest one I could find and at the time Specialized told dealers absolutely NO shipping. It was worth it. The bike is so much fun. Also really impressed with Specialized tired. I haven't tried WTB but rode Maxxis DHR/DHF on my '19 Sentinel and they were just eh. Before either of those I was a big fan of the Bontrager XR5/XR4 combo.

Cascade link makes this bike so good

@mrvwbug4423 Год назад

The Evo is an amazing cornering bike, back end felt just as linear if not more so than the Ripmo and doesn't pedal anywhere near as good as the Ripmo, but where the Ripmo is a tad vague in corners the Evo corners like it's on rails. I personally didn't find it any more or less poppy off jumps than the Ripmo, honestly felt a lot like the Ripmo off a jump. I didn't get a chance to take it on any high speed tech, but it's a low bike even lower than the already low Ripmo so I think you'd need to watch out for pedal strikes more than other bikes

@michaelbarbera2161 Год назад

Hey Jeff, loved the video and all your thoughts. I am building up this frame and curious what length pnw dropper you fit. I think we are same height and I grabbed the s3. I am between the 150 and 170 length. Happy Riding!

There's an aftermarket link by Cascade Components available. It's supposed to increase progression and also travel to 158 mm. Might help with the bottom-outs and should also make for a better balance with the 170 mm fork. Would be great seeing you try out, if it actually makes a noticeable difference.

@danmccabe2004 Год назад

I have never bottomed the shock out and I am a lot heavier than yourself. The tune they have put on the shock requires a lot more air than the guide by fox states. Spesh have a suspension calculator with recommended settings. I have settled somewhere between what fox and spesh say. I love my carbon comp evo, it’s perfect as a bike for doing everything. But obviously it’s not an endoro bike.

@deathsbiographer1295 Год назад

I have been running the stumpy evo for a few months now, and I absolutely love this bike. I have been running it as a mullet with coil front and rear. It is so agile and quick in the narrow trails that I ride in south florida. I have not had many issues with bottom outs once I moved to stiffer coils (600lbs R, Firm F). I have not been able to bring it up to highspeed so far due to the lack of mountains in florida, but it has quickly become my new favorite bike. I hope to make a trip after winter to the Carolina's to give it a shot in steeper terrain. Thank you for your wonderful content. I look forward to watching more in the future.

@SnowShackboy Год назад

Hi Jeff, love to see the variety of bikes and parts you run on your Jenson bikes. Question though, what shoes are you running right now? I didn’t see a “shoe check” in your recent videos and wonder if they’re your winter shoe of ‘23 or just something new. Thanks!

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

Hey Rob, I'll do a shoe vid soon enough. I love the high top 5.10 Trailcross shoes- those with waterproof socks and I have fun even in the wet and cold. I have been trying the Endura flat shoes, they are OK, but not as good as 5.10 IMO. The old Shimano GR9 was great, especially with waterproof socks.

@chaynech1 Год назад

Hey Jeff, I was reading in a forum that the float x actually does have hidden compression damping. On the front there is a little plastic cap that pops off where the knob usual is. You can get your local bike shop to order the dial, and install it. Basically fox left the ability, but hid it on the float x performance.

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

Thanks for that Chaynech, others have mentioned that here too! I'll certainly be trying that!

@chaynech1 Год назад

@@JeffKendallWeed I am curious how it terns out, as I plan to give it a try.

@TheWestwardHo Год назад

@@JeffKendallWeed You can actually just adjust it with a small pair of needle nose pliers if you pull the plastic cap off. No need for a switch. It didn't make a big difference. The best solution I've found is go WAY over on air pressure. You'll still blow through travel but less often. I'm running it at 260psi @170 lbs. I'm switching to a super deluxe when this thing inevitably explodes.

@Karlsvbike Год назад

Thanks for the great review! I want to change bike and get a bit more travel in the fork/suspension while having more fun descending and also letting me pedal (i’am riding a sc5010). Will you recommend the stumpjumper for the evolve I’am looking for? Or maybe any other model? Thank u! Cheers

@-tr0n Год назад

It sounds like you might be more into a Status? It's slacker, same suspension style, very happy in the air and the mullet feels really natural and obviously likes to get the front end up.

@blangeleven Год назад

Great video. I’ve owned a stumpy evo and have about a dozen rides on it. I too noticed i was blowing through the travel too easily in the rear so installed more volume reduction in the Fox Float X shock and increased low speed compression. That helped a lot. I’m 6’3” 175lb. Specialized would recommend i go with size S5 but i chose the S6 because it suits my style. High speed is no problem at all. Plenty stable for me. That’s in the middle head tube and the high BB setting. Running a 160mm Lyric fork which is mighty fine.

@anthonywalters7434 Год назад

Idk if there are any left on Jenson but I feel like this would be a great bike to compare to the 2020/2021 GT Force 29. Both are alloy frames with 150mm of rear travel, Horst link suspension, and 29in wheels. Both are in that trail/all mountain/enduro family depending on your persuasion. As a do it all bike the Stumpy Evo definitely wins but there’s a sizable price gap between the two.

@michaelmichaelagnew8503 Год назад

I see this mainly as an Enduro bike, has too much travel for an all mountain bike. Like that Enduro bike that just almost isn't good enough to be an Enduro bike. Think the Evo should have stayed 140 rear and 150 fork. That's about as far an all mountain should go. Its the perfect in between from an XC bike to a downhill bike. If the stumpjumper evo Alloy was still 140/150 then I would have gotten one over a Trek EX 8 gen 6 probably. But the evo is no longer in the category I'm looking for which is a very good all mountain bike.

@robsprimallife Год назад

Great information, I like the bike but did not like the shock. I replaced it with a Ohlins TTX Air 2 and love it. I did have to add spacers at 172 lbs, the small bump sensitivity is fantastic and still no hard bottom outs.

I built a 140 Status this winter and only have a couple of rides on it. I’m in a similar boat as you, where the bike feels off in a sense. I’m used to a Reign with Cascade link / coil, which has a good amount of progression. Despite having the second largest volume reducer in the DPX2 on the Status, I feel like a bit more support is needed. The Status has the 2019 Enduro rear triangle

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

Do all the Status models use older Enduro rear ends, or is that something you built on your own?

@mrvwbug4423 Год назад

I've heard the Status is pretty linear out back regardless of travel and of course has no adjustments on it to keep the price down. Basically old school FSR, plush as can be, pedaling is an afterthought, soaks up chattery sections like nobody's business.

@brianhaderlie1779 Год назад

I have two carbon EVOs and agree that the horst suspension platform is ideal for PNW trails. Setup advice: 1) Don't put a coil/linear rear shock on an OEM horst/linear suspension platform because it will bottom-out too easily, 2) That Dissector rear tire is a good tire, but it doesn't have enough purchase for those trail conditions, 3) That 170mm front-end is writing checks the 150mm back-end cannot cash, 4) Consider a rear shock that has compression dampening so not relying only on PSI/spacers, 5) Consider a fork that has high-speed rebound dampening to better manage those bigger/faster impacts.

Which rear tire would you recommend for these conditions? My rear tire might as well be a semi-slick at this point

How do would it compare to the occam LT? Best Alex

Hey Jeff, what are your thoughts on running a 170mm 38mm fork on a Stumpy Evo? Frame is S5, I'm at around 215lb kitted up.

@SoilworkZA01 Год назад

The reach seems a bit short vs newer bikes. How do you find the geo overall?

@Max-wm9ee Год назад

@JeffKendallWeed What did you think about the bike going from the 170mm fork to 160mm? I'm considering going the other way around to get more ground clearance.

@joshua_802 Год назад

Didn't love my alloy Evo for high speed trails until I added a Cascade Components link. Vastly prefer this setup to the stock link + volume spacers. Gives the bike a near identical progression curve to the Enduro. Feels more stable, plush, supportive, and predictable. I know that you’re no stranger to CC’s work. Enjoyed your CC link video.

@sisufitness659 Год назад

Did you run into issues with the bb height with the link as it’s already really low

@joshua_802 Год назад

@@sisufitness659 I haven’t. CC’s links lower the BB and slacken the static geometry on some bikes (this is true for most Santa Cruz bikes). Their Stumpy Evo’s link is one that does not impact the bike’s static geometry. The downsides are: 1) less resistance to pedal bob; 2) the frame’s warranty is likely to be voided by the link.

@mrvwbug4423 Год назад

@@joshua_802 Less resistance to pedal bob could be a dealbreaker on the Evo for a heavier rider. The Evo pedal bobs pretty badly for a modern bike even stock. I was getting pedal strikes on level ground if I stood up to sprint when I demoed one. I do have a cascade link on my Ripmo AF and it doesn't effect the pedaling at all on the DW link

@@mrvwbug4423 I’m 230+ with 175mm cranks. I use a DVO T3 air with a custom tube, frame is in the high position and I don’t pedal strike nearly as often as with the Fox shock.

Can confirm that stumpy evo wheelies good!

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

LOL Yes!

@kwic73 Год назад

Really easy to throw a compression knob on a fox float performance. Part cost $35 CAD and gives 4-5 noticeable clicks of compression and takes all about 5 mins to put on.

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

Thanks for that tip! I'll certainly be doing this for the next episode!

Hey Mike, what do you mean with "HBO"? I did a whole video on the Zebb, I really like that fork: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aZ40ikmWLXM.html

How do you find the stumpjumper compares to the Firebird?

@matthewmcnutt6052 Год назад

I have both the s-works evo Carbon and the alloy version and I honestly prefer the alloy version more. I have both bikes setup pretty much the same way (SLX vs XT/XTR) (Fox Factory vs PE) and honestly, I just like the compliance of the aluminum frame over the carbon.

@motonaribonefas2454 Год назад

How tall are you and which size did you choose for your riding style?

@speedsquishstupid Год назад

Interested to hear how the rear suspension compares to the Transition since they are "essentially" the same now?

@JeffKendallWeed Год назад

I need more time on both back-to-back, but the problem is they are not apples-to-apples. Spire has more travel, and is a WAY bigger bike!

@renemeza6058 Год назад

Which is an better do it all MTB ? Ripmo or Stumpy EVO?

@pootjube Год назад

I'm running my Stumpy Evo high and slack, any other geometry setting felt unstable. But that might be because I was between sizes and chose the smaller size. I also found that the rear suspension needs around 10-15% more air pressure as recommended for my body weight.

@muscles3929 Год назад

I ride mine in the same settings and I’ve tried about all of them.
