I love it so far. This is an upgrade to my 2015 S-Works Camber Carbon. I just finished the build-up with all new composted with a local Specialized Store and the bike turned out great. I love the mix of colors on the frame and it rides and climbs like a charm. I’m still working out the seat position and which flip chip position. No complaints whatsoever. This is my dream bike that became a reality. I look forward to many years riding on my new Stumpy!

My Epic Pro was not a good fit for the rough technical trails where I now ride. I needed a bike with more travel and slacker steering. As it turns out this Stumpjumper frame paired with a Fox 34 140mm Grip2 was the perfect answer for my current riding conditions. I transferred all the parts from my Epic Pro, plus I added 2.35 Ground Control tires, to make a perfect light weight trail bike. It is an excellent climber albeit not as fast as the Epic going up, but it smokes the Epic on the downhill. With the DPS damper set on medium, and the chip on high, I found that there is zero pedal induced movement when accelerating or climbing.

My Epic Pro, while an awesome bike, was not able to handle the trails now, where I ride. The ruts, rocks, drops and obstacles from the recent storms require longer travel suspension and slacker steering. I parted out my Epic Pro, and using those parts, I built up this frame. The only additional items I needed were 180mm rotors and a Fox 34 Grip2 140mm fork. The complete build only added two pounds, but now I have a solid and excellent handling trail bike for technical terrain conditions. I was pleasantly surprised with the rear suspension adjustments and capabilities. There is a wide range of adjustments to perfectly dial it in depending on preferences. There is zero bobbing on climbing, and it climbs superbly, albeit a bit slower than the Epic. The Fox 34 fork is the perfect match for the frame.

Very light and snappy. Climbs like a damn goat! I have the Sworks stump EVO as well. That’s my DH rig and this Sworks stump is my new do everything else rig. Took it on some chunk and it handled it with ease. I’ve been a loyal specialized owner since 96. I’ve tried others……just doesn’t fit the bill for me.

Great bike! I am the bikes only limitation.

I am a 6’6” 61!year old who has been mountain biking for 25 years. This is by far the best bike I’ve ridden. It’s put new life in these old broken bones. This bike is amazing!

I went on a limb and built this bike. It’s Rad!!! I’ve been riding an Enduro for 2 seasons and wanted a less travel bike for riding in the Midwest. It feels very similar to the enduro but pedals better and is a bit lighter. The Stumpy can still handle gnarly terrain as well. It’s very nimble and is excellent trail bike.

Nice frame and color is awesome. Shipped fast given todays norm.
