hi,
I am looking for a new bike, and I decided to go for full suspension allrounder. Bike that climbs, accelerates fast but has jumping abilities. Will Stumpy FSR be good for me? I'm a bit inspired by this bike.

Is Stumpy enough strong for jumping? I mean max 40" drops, 13 feet long flights and sometimes foolin' on 4x track.

I would build it completly custom with 2,3" wide tires and 140mm RS Pike. I'm not scared of 5" rear travel and I think I don't need more (I'm 136ibs / 62 kg heavy and currently I ride hardtail with 100mm RS Tora).



btw. I was also thinking of Blur 4x -but it's not available.
