This bike is awesome! Rides over small bumps very smooth. Pedals great both in the shock open position and middle position. I changed the flip chip to the high position and like the handling better, I may be in the minority there. I changed the chainring to a 30 tooth, haven’t ridden it yet since I did it. My previous 2 bikes were 30 x 52 and didn’t quite feel like I was in the right gear. The frame is great - I like the swat box and tool on the bottle cage. I wish the bottle cage were a little higher up on the tube so it was easier to get to.

160 miles or so in on my Stumpy Pro T-type and I have nothing but great things to say. I ride mostly old school New England tech trails and this bike is awesome as delivered. Light and fast build, there is nothing I feel I’d change or upgrade. The T-type transmission is fantastic…definitely surprised me how much that makes a difference. The glove box design is super convenient for local rides. I have my essentials all in there, so it’s easy to hop on and head to the trails and has eliminated my need to carry a pack on most of my rides. The bike is very maneuverable while also being stable and confidence inspiring. Loads of new PRs on this bike while having a blast.

Been riding Specialized exclusively for many years. Everything about this bike is just awesome: The geometry, the weight, the components - all stellar. The paint, however, has me concerned. The matte finish collects dust and dirt very quickly and it is very visible. More importantly, I'm concerned about durability. Took my first ride last week and a small rock landed on the top tube and left a 1/8" diameter chip in the paint. The primer below is pure white so obviously it stuck out like a sore thumb. I've colored it with a permanent marker I found at a hobby store and will probably cover it with some sort of sticker, so it doesn't drive me completely crazy. I'll be keeping a close eye on the rest of the frame. Other than that, I love the bike.

Dating myself, but I've easily owned 30+ hi-end MTBs over the past 36 years. Many different brands. Strayed to single pivots six years ago after an SJ and then Epic, but came back to an SJ Expert two months ago. Dealer put on Roval carbons. What a confidence inspiring bike this is! It does not float or sag. It eats up our rocks and dips here in the desert SW like magic. I won't be looking elsewhere when I feel the need to replace this one.

After owning Epic Evos for the last 3 years I decided to try a Stumpjumper for the extra cush. I could not be happier. This bike climbs great and descends even better. I am super stoked with the Stumpjumper pro.

Like the previous review said: This bike is great! It's silent, fast, and loves to rail corners and tech. Can't recommend it enough.

This SJ Pro is fast and quiet. I can hear my tires like never before. Who cares? The auditory feedback from my tires allows me to corner faster and better manage my body position and "personal kinematics" in rock gardens. The silence has been a more significant game changer than I would have guessed possible—plus, it feels so good to ride a silent bike. Due to the additional travel, I thought it might be slower than my Transition Spur, but at least on the rocky and rooty terrain here, it's been faster and more composed. The new SRAM Transmission is all that and a sack of chips. I love feeling "in the bike" and railing corners, but the lowish bottom bracket does lead to more pedal strikes. It's the best trail bike I've ever had, and I've had more than a few. Special thanks to Ivory, JD, Mark + others at MOAB Bikes in Murfreesboro, TN, for getting this bike in so quickly & excellent service.
