Is it too overgunned or is it as versatile as everyone says
The blue frame is just amazing
Unless your racing then your fitness will make a bigger diffrence. The carbon is very light and climbs very well bb isant so low that your mashing your pedals of everything which was a big problem wih my old whyte.

I have an Enduro S works and my pedals smash a ton, kinda wish I went with the stumpjumper evo instead, next bike will be the stumpy evo

Stumpy EVO(335mm) bb is about a half inch lower than the Enduro(350mm)

Yeah the SJ Evo has a low BB and Specialized specs it with a 175 crankset starting in a medium size frame, I found the 170 to strike a lot less.
What do you guys think of using the Evo for a little park riding? (specifically Mammoth Mountain for you West Coast boys) I've already put a 36 Talas 160 on mine and I would definitely switch to 1x10 drive train for "park mode" but I'm trying to decide what else would make it better. I was thinking about a coil shock (probably overkill but badass) but the closest size I found is 7.5x2 (stock is 7.75x2) which should slacken/lower the bike but maintain the same travel. I just worry about clearance, anyone got a shock that size they wanna throw on there's as a test so I don't waste money. Keep in mind this would just be something I switch for bike parks and full on DH. I would keep the RP2 to use for general AM/Trail riding.
I may be wrong but I was under the impression that you could still swap it out with a different Fox shock. Can anyone conform or deny this?
Confirm, you cannot. Unless it is a Specialized Stumpjumper shock it will not go onto a Stumpjumper. The clevis linkage is built into the shock so you can only run a Fox Float series. You should get the RP23 with the boostvalve. The RP23 would give you much better DH performance because you have more rebound and compression fine tuning ability (boostvalve). Look closely at your bike you cannot change the shock to a different type, but you can order a better shock from a Specialized dealer.
