Welcome to SBCU.
Let's talk about the trail machine, the Stumpjumper FSR.
Stumpjumper has a long history within specialized, but the
idea of the bike-- being a bike they climbs and descends
equally well--
has never changed.
One of the most interesting parts about the Stumpy is that
it has lots of different options.
Now there's 29 inch wheel size, there's smaller wheel
sizes, there's standard builds, and then there's EVO
builds as well.
So plenty to choose from, but it's important to remember to
pick the bike based on what your needs are out there.
So if you want a trail bike--
absolutely perfect pick is a Stumpjumper.
If you want to get a little bit more crazy on your trail
bike, maybe the EVO is your style.
So the difference between the two is a couple of geo
changes, and a little bit of difference in between how it's
actually built out.
But the frame platform is the same
So let's talk about some of the features on the frame.
Tapered head tube on all the bikes whether they're carbon
or aluminum.
You have Command Post routing on the carbon bikes,
internally, down the down tube.
Or, on the non carbon bikes, you have internal routing
along the top here.
As you get towards the back of the bike we do a lot of Fox
shocks with Brains on the higher end.
And then, to save a little bit when you get a little bit more
affordable bikes, you'll go to just standard
Fox shocks on there.
The shock extension on to the shock link here, with full
cartridge bearings, moving back into the FSR.
Now it's important that the FSR be on this bike, as with
any specialized bike, but this is a unique FSR.
As with all of our experiences, it's built for
the experience of the bike.
So active and independent, but an FSR that's focused on doing
everything--
climbing, descending--
really a beautiful, all around bike.
Last thing here is it you notice that this frame does
not have a front derailleur, but it does have the
provisions for putting one on.
It's a direct mount derailleur so very easy to put on,
takeoff, no matter whatever flavor you want
to run on your Stumpy.
So the geometry on the
Stumpjumper is super important.
This is, like we said, one of the most
all-around, capable bikes.
It has to climb, it has to descend, it's
got to do it all.
So that's going to relate a lot to how we put the package
together, but there's also, you know, EVO's and regular
Stumpjumpers, 29 and smaller inch wheel sizes.
So the geometry--
it has to be long in the top tube, low on the bottom
bracket, and nice and tight in the rear end.
That's a general idea to give us the handling that we want,
but there are some differences.
The head tube angle on the standard 29er that we have
here is 69 degrees.
As you go to an EVO version that's going to slack out a
little bit.
So you get just a little bit longer wheelbase, little bit
more travel, a little bit bigger capability.
The bottom bracket height-- nice and low on the bike-- and
it will change just a little bit as you move in-between a
standard and an EVO.
The EVO will drop a little bit along with getting a little
bit more travel.
And the rear end-- very, very short rear end-- we want that
because it's nice and snappy around the corners, but still
gives you some room for those high speed descents.
Not gonna get all chattery and start freaking out on you.
So good specialized style geometry--
roomy top tube for a nice fit, low bottom bracket, short rear
end, and plenty of different options,
different wheel sizes--
and EVO options as well.
Another cool feature about the Stumpjumper FSR is that we
want to make sure we have nice, low standover height.
So it's good for the fit, but it's also good to make sure,
in case you come off the bike, you're not gonna end up
hurting yourself.
And we want to make sure that, inside the main triangle, you
can fit a full size water bottle on any size frame.
So you can carry as much water as you want out there on the
trail-- very important to be able to do those two things.
So a lot of what can make a great bike even better are the
details on the bike.
And the Stumpjumper has that in spades.
Up here, on the handlebar cockpit area, we have a low
slung handlebar.
This is what we call a mini rise--
720 millimeters wide.
If you go to an EVO it gets even bigger, to 750
millimeters, with our Sip Grip lock-on grips as well.
We have 130 millimeter travel fork on the Two Niner.
It goes to 140 on the EVO version and even 150 on the
EVO of the smaller wheel size.
And when you get into the front here you can see we have
nice Fox forks on the standard bikes, Pike's on the EVO
version, and then the Revol Control trail wheels as well.
On the S -works bikes the SL wheels is super light-- that's
your carbon rim.
Remember that these are very light, but they're also built
for durability.
These are the trail versions of the wheel so very, very
strong wheels.
It's a good blend of lightweight and stiffness.
You'll also notice that you have a lever
on your bike there.
That's your internally routed command post--
new design, nice and slick looking here, but also just a
third of the force required to activate the lever than it
used to be.
And you still have those three travel options all the way at
the top, your cruiser position, and all the way down
at the bottom.
Here in the middle of the bike one of my favorite shocks of
all time is the specialized Fox Brain and autosag shock.
So all kinds of crazy, cool features in here.
This shock is built for trail riding so it has a different
tune than say a Brain on the Epic.
It's the same concept, but we want to give the bike more
efficiency by limiting how much influence the rider puts
into the shock, but still is free to activate when it's
hitting the bumps.
It just has a lighter tune, a trail tune, to that Brain.
The autosag is the same as you'd find on
any specialized bike--
very quick, easy, and correct to set up any rider to make
sure that they get the proper sag every single time.
Moving to the back of the bike, you see that we have XX1
on this particular bike.
You can run single, you can run double if you want to, and
no problem to run either different version.
And what's really a cool thing about the Revol wheel is a
very easy swap to go from a standard cassette body to say
an XX1 style.
You just go ahead and pop off one driver body, put a new one
on, and you're good to go.
And one of my last favorite super cool-- nobody ever seems
to notice, but-- the clip on chainstay protector.
It used to be that when you wanted to keep your bike
quiet, you'd go ahead and wrap a tube around there, put some
junkie Velcro thing on.
This is a snap on version, it's super integrated, goes on
there, you'll never notice it at all.
But it keeps the bike nice and quiet, and also protects your
frame if your chain's slapping around.
So lots of fantastic features on here, Stumpy, one of the
longest running bikes in specialized history, still one
of the most fun.
