What is the difference between a stumpjumper and an enduro

This means the carbon seat stays flex during compression. By getting rid of the bearing required for the pivot, Specialized were able to save 55 g. With the help of this and other weight-saving measures, the frame is g lighter than its predecessor. According to Specialized, the frame weighs 2, g, including the shock, axle, seat clamp and other hardware. Due to the generally lighter spec with thin-walled tires, a shock without a reservoir and the FOX 34 fork, the new S-Works Stumpjumper weighs only The new Stumpjumper is a bike for all occasions!

Specialized offer the new Stumpjumper in a total of six sizes from S1 to S6. To make this possible, the American brand have kept the seat tubes extra short, ranging in length from — mm, which also allows them to spec longer dropper posts for more freedom of movement. The jumps in reach between the frame sizes vary between 20—25 mm. The geometry of the Specialized Stumpjumper used to be very conservative.

That all changes with the new model! The bottom bracket is quite low with a drop of 42 mm in the low setting. Speaking of which, a flip-chip allows you to adjust the geometry of the new Stumpjumper in two positions.

Following, we present the bike in the low position, which is how it gets delivered and how we would leave it. But not everyone can or wants to afford the outrageously expensive flagship models.

With the exception of the rocker link, the frame is identical to that of the S-Works model which costs almost twice as much. Everything looks a little more delicate and less oversized. With the air pressure and rebound set up as recommended on the chart and the compression almost completely open, we hit the trails. The new Stumpjumper is super comfortable.

The handling of the Stumpjumper is super agile and light-footed. The suspension is significantly more progressive than its predecessor. At the same time, it constantly invites the rider to play with the trail. The stumpy has pretty much the same build kit as the enduro but with a couple of changes and weighs 6lbs lighter.

Overall I would say that while the enduro is a great bike I think it is too much for normal riding and the stumpy is a much better compromise. Either of those bikes will do everything in that list. My enduro quite happily does long xc rides. Question is whether you value the extra downhill prowess enough to drag the extra heft around the rest of the time. Evo frame and shock is 3lbs heavier than my stumpy carbon. As I said I have changed a couple of things too.

A very popular model but arguably OTT for a lot of riders. You can buy the Enduro as a frame-only and build one up yourself or get your bike shop to do it. With a whopping mm of travel it can be confidently sent down any track or DH course you care to point it at. Up until recently there were only one name of Specialized electric mountain bikes: Turbo Levo.

They are aluminium hardtail frame bikes with mm suspension forks, The lower priced models are aluminium framed while the more expensive Levos are carbon fibre. They all have Turbo Levo FSR bikes are electric-assist trail bikes with geometry and kit capable of almost anything. The wild one-off that is the Specialized Turbo Kenevo Expert 6fattie is a monster of an e-bike.

The tyre volume comes down from full-on Plus; the frame uses
