This is a great bike, performs very well. But, the geo adjust headset is totally not worth it, most people are not changing their geo's. I would much prefer a non adjustable head tube angle around 64 or somewhere around there. The problem is that the headset is so creaky and Ive had to take it apart, clean, and grease multiple times in not even a year of owning the bike.

Have several rides on the bike now. It's not an xc race bike on the climbs but not bad at all. It more than makes up for it on the way back down though. Took a few rides to get the suspension dialed in but running nicely now.

Great bike so far I rode 78 miles and have loved every mile on it

Going downhill is incredible. Going uphill is like "this bike should not climb this well"!

I was on the fence buying this bike as my goal was to get a bike that climbed better than my carbon 27.5 enduro bike. This is night and day better at climbing. The first real test I did was I rode a similar trail I've always enjoyed and rode 100 times on my old bike. This bike outperformed in almost every single way. The harder you push it the more it begs you to go faster and instills confidence. The only thing that was a small con was maneuverability in really tight switchbacks but I have skills to be gained in this area on a 27.5 anyway. Love the bike and loving it more with every ride I take.

Beginning to really enjoy this ride... Wasn't immediately apparent how much of an improvement the Stump jumper Evo was compared to my previous Bike, but the more I Ride it the more I appreciate it's comparative light weight and it's precision. It climbs well and descends better. A really fun Bike.

I was worried about sizing before buying because I bought without test riding. I'm 6'2" but only a 32" inseam - I'm all torso. I ordered an S5 because the top tube most aligned with my old bike. I utilized the dropper spacers to get the right fit (dropper has 20mm of adjustment via spacers which are included with the bike - they're not labeled or tagged so make sure to go through all the bags/parts that come with the bike). Once riding, not much of a learning curve coming from old geo. Bonus: the bike came with a digital shock pump Comes with SWAT tool and a tool bag and"J" shaped water bladder for in frame storage. Tubeless conversion was cake (rims are pre-taped) Complaints: Takes 7-10 days to ship. I didn't see that on the website before ordering. For this money, Specialized should throw in a water bottle, t-shirt, large window sticker or something. I guess that's the price to pay when ordering online vs bike shop. Specialized - can you send me a water bottle?

Everyone super cool, Rider Care is spot on and made calling in with questions a breeze! Bike is awesome and love riding it... Daniel was great and thank you!

Great bike!

Better than I expected. After riding a hardtail for long time it really feels good to have a full suspension. Quality of components is great..

Great bike. A lot of great features

This bike is amazing!! I used to ride a cross country race bike and wanted something that would give me a bit more confidence on descents and boy did this deliver! I also was really impressed with how well it climbs considering how much better it is for descending than my old bike. 11/10!

Best bike ever, bought a 2022 stumpy Evo alloy last year and loved it, but wanted something lighter so I went and got my self the 2023 Stumpjumper Evo expert, what a great bike this is, lighter, faster and way easier to toss in the air

The change in the bikes from 2022 to 2023 are big. It’s not just new color ways (although I’m OBSESSED with my Gloss Birch / Taupe). This bike comes with SRAM AXS electronic shifting which, admittedly, takes some getting used to. But there’s no denying it’s a huge upgrade. It brakes very well and responsively. The suspension is great but most significantly I noticed that there feels like there is far less pedal bob than when compared with last year’s Stumpy Pro. It doesn’t climb JUST like a hardtail, but it doesn’t jump around on you either. I’m between S3 and S4. I like to size up for stability and I did. It definitely feels secure on the trail but, even though I sized up, it still feels very snappy and nimble. Can’t recommend it enough!
