Men's Stumpjumper ST Alloy 27.5

2018 Men's Stumpjumper ST Alloy 27.5

All of you die-hard alloy fans can rejoice. Yes, the new Stumpjumper ST comes in an alloy version, and it may be the most radically designed alloy bike ever made. And with new tube shapes, an asymmetrical design, and the snappy handling that the 27.5 platform is known for, the Stumpjumper ST Alloy 27.5 is sure to exceed your expectations of how a trail bike should ride.

Our design goal for the new Stumpjumper was simple—build the ultimate trail bike, one that feels telepathic. And it turns out that this feeling all comes down to stiffness. Think of it this way: when the frame's telling your hands one thing and your feet another, your brain gets confused with the imbalance and the bike feels unstable. In order to fix this, we had to get to work on dialing-in the materials and shapes.

We continued down the suspension path with a custom Rx Trail Tune on both the fork and rear shock. Suspension performance is highly dependent on frame, wheel, and rider size, so we use our Rx Tune to get each bike to land in the middle of the adjustment spectrum, and this gives you the biggest possible range to fine-tune your ride. Another focal point of the tune was matching the suspension characteristics between wheel sizes—we developed a specific Rx Tune for each platform. So, no matter what wheel size you prefer, you'll get perfectly linear suspension.

Steps were also taken to make this bike easy to live with. Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return, and we made room for up to a 2.8" tire. You're also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want, since we're using standard metric shocks. And customization is furthered with a Flip Chip that lets you to dial-in your Stumpy to your riding style. Switch it from High to Low and it drops your bottom bracket 6mm and slackens the head tube by half-a-degree. Little details also jump out to surprise you, like a newly designed ribbed chainstay protector that makes chain slap a thing of the past and nearly silences the drivetrain.

The build here is no-nonsense with a focus on dependable, high-performing parts, like Shimano SLX front and rear derailleurs, Tektro Gemini disc brakes, a RockShox Recon RL fork with 130mm of travel, a custom X-Fusion 02 Pro RL rear shock with 130mm of travel, and wide alloy wheels.

My First FS Bike!!

From what I am seeing from other beginner or season riders, they love the snappy handling of this bike. Love the 27.5, but I changed the stock from 2.3 to 2.8 size tires because I love the sure footedness of the mid fatty! I can't wait to try this bike out this season when Chicago weather lets us! :) Also I added a dropper post as well because I feel that it is necessity for quick change for each application.

Exactly what I've been looking for.

Been on a highly customized 26"" hardtail for the past 8 years and finally went to the Stumpjumper ST 27.5"". For the technical, twisty, rocky, rooty single track that I ride, this thing is incredible. Nimble, confident corners, fast, and smooth. Only thing I'll change is cutting the bars (tree-hooks) down a little shorter. All-in-all, a comfortable bike, and great for an intermediate rider (non-racer) like myself.

Amazing Bike to ride the trials in the Heart of Africa

It's been an amazing four weeks of riding this bike! I have found some of the best single track in Rwanda to test the bike to it's core. I can't wait for all the adventures ahead.

Love this bike

I love this bike. I do. I take it out on my local trails at least three times a week. However, I'm 250 lbs and probably too big for this particular model. I have to max the psi on the rear shock and pump it up every week. I only ride it locked out because I bottom out.

Great bike

This is a great entry level full suspension bike. It is fast and handles the technical stuff like a pro. It is a real bummer that it does not come with a dropper post and the 34.9 seatpost diameter does not make it easy to find an affordable one (the only option from specialized costs over $400--may be worth buying an upgraded stumpjumper with the dropper included). Overall great bike.

I love this bike

This bike is great and for the price fantastic but theres a few things that i feel should be included, 1 since theres no dropper post a qr seatpost clamp would have been nice, and 2 they say its metric sizing but they went and created thier own size again for the rear shock.
