Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert EVO

 Great all mountain for BC it is the natural evolution for the Stumpjumper if you want to ride hard on demanding terrain the trail version is great too but does not offer enough travel for going down double diamonds in BC. The command post is a must. Personally on mine I have changed the brake for hope tech 4 which is sooo much better than Avid.

 this is a great xc/all mountian bike. its light and fast. the rear shock has the brain technoligy that sences the trail. so u can tare up the up hills and have the advantege of a soft tail on the way down. i beleive that specialized runs the sram xo rear derallieur witha carbon cage. light and durable. nice hydraulic disc brakes.

 By far the best trail bike imaginable. I use this for almost every type of riding now. I thought I was a "downhiller" but now I ride my Stumpy Evo more than my demo. I converted mine to 1x10 and threw on a 2012 36 Talas. Nothing gets in the way of this trail machine. It also helps that you can easily get this bike to weigh less than a carbon bike of the same category.

 This bike rails! She pedals pretty damn well too. The Lower bb and Slacker Headtube are big bonuses and the Command Post certainly makes this bike super versatile! The Stumpy EVO is my Swiss Army Knife, though not a XC weight weenies dream bike, it is the ultimate trail bike with several easy options to be respectably lightweight!

 Everything you have heard about this bike is true. It is truly an amazing do-it-all bike. I bought the frame w/fox rp23 from a local shop and built it up over a summer. I could not have made a better choice of frame. Currently running 1x9 SRAM drivetrain and Rockshox Lyric w/ 20mm axle. If you can only have one bike to do everything this is the one! It will keep-up with XC bikes, DH bikes and anything in between.

 Fast and nimble. Twitchy yet burly. Excellent foray into the obscurity of hyper segmentation. Like they say with smart phones, I didn't know I needed it until I got it. Bravo Specialized.
