I have really enjoyed my 2021 Stumpjumper Comp Alloy, it was a huge upgrade over my Norco Fluid HT2. It handles all the blue/black trail riding I do and makes me want to ride as much as possible. However, I have already had a few issues with the bike after 2 seasons. 1) The rear shock had to be rebuilt after the first season. 2) the rear hub had to be replaced after the 2nd season. It is a good value bike, but be prepared to upgrade the rear hub if you ride a lot.

This bike is awesome! I fitted it with some cool upgrades and rode the heck out of it last season. I have ZERO complaints with my new Stumpjumper! It rides smooth and handles excellent, so fun!

I own multiple bikes and this one is by far the most unstable. The butcher front tire lets go without warning unlike the dhfs and agassi I have on my other bikes. I have tried multiple pressures with no luck. The SRAM brakes take a longer pull to grab than shimano brakes. The suspension is great but too many front tire wash outs and too hard to stop.

This bike has been great for me. At 5'11 S4 is perfect. Feels planted and confident at speed and lively and flick-able everywhere else. Comfortable and easy to climb with. Get the bottle cage and Specialed tool as well.

I have about 1,500+ miles on mine. It has saved my bacon so many times. In situations I knew were not ideal I would just think it and the bike would say give me more. 27.5 for ever!

Got my hands on a new S1 and it is awesome. I love taking it DH at Keystone Bike Park while also using it to do some nice uphill and as a beginner it's a better bike than I'll ever be a rider that's for sure!

After waiting for an SC Tallboy alloy R build that kept getting delayed again and again, I canceled my special order and after calling a few shops in my area I got lucky and found this bike in an S4 Cast Umber color. Its a great bike with the latest geometry and great components off the bat for the price. Suspension and brakes are a major upgrade from the entry level model. G2 brakes offer a lot of confidence when descending, I love them. Weighed my bike on a bathroom scale (terrible way to weigh a bike) just to get a rough estimate and it came in at 34.4lbs with one up components composite pedals and no bottle cage(i suspect the weight is lower 32-33lbs). I have been doing mostly climbing since I'm up in the mountains for the summer and while it climbs well it feels heavier compared to my 2018 Scott scale 960 hardtail but that's to be expected this bike is way more heavy duty and capable than my last hardtail(use that climb switch). Descending is incredible offers so much capability its scary. This bike is leaps and bounds more capable than I will ever be. I reached 30mphh on a downhill scared to death and the bike wanted more(I attribute that to the FOX suspension and modern geometry). So this bike is a win IMO if you have the cash spring for the carbon comp model from testing it, it feels way lighter and will be better for those tough climbs given the lighter weight. But all in all very happy with my purchase. Would recommend to anyone its a fantastic do it all bike.

This bike is amazing and beautiful. I use it for regular MTB and downhill and it handles great. I've gotten so many compliments for my bike out on the trail that I lost count.

This is the third time I take the bike out and I have to say it's the baddest bike I've ever had in my life it's fast the gears are very smooth and it handles The handling is incredible specialize keep making bikes like this.

2nd time riding my new bike and I absolutely love it feels great im 5'9 and purchased an S4 it fits me perfectly. A great bike for the trails. Came from riding a hardtail so Its a great introduction to full suspension.

Wow, even after the first couple rides, I'm still amazed at how stable and confidence inspiring this bike is! Nice work by Specialized for engineering up a great piece of gear!!

My first full suspension bike. I'm 6'2'' riding a s5. Bike is glued to the trail. Pedals great. Turns awesome feels super stable turning but still nimble. I was nervous about going to 29ers from 27.5 on my last bike. Well I was nervous for nothing . I used sizing guide and sized up one for a more stable ride I feel it was a great decision. The welds are pretty nicely smooth out. It's great looking bike with modern geo tons of stand over.
