Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Alloy 27.5 MT Bike - Shop Soiled - Large

For alloy fans, you can rest assured that Specialized have created the most radically designed alloy bike just for you. With new tube shapes, an asymmetrical design, and the nimble 27.5 handling that we all love, it's plenty capable and ready to take on the trail.

The design goal for the new Stumpjumper was simply to build the ultimate trail bike, one that feels telepathic and this feeling all comes down to stiffness. So, 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, Specialized had to get to work on dialing-in the materials and shapes.

They 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 Rx Tune is used 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 - a specific Rx Tune was developed for each platform. So, no matter what wheel size you prefer, you’ll get perfectly linear suspension.

Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return, and room was made for up to a 3.0" tyre. You're also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want, since they're using standard metric shocks. Customisation 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 a Shimano SLX drivetrain with RaceFace cranks, Shimano SLX disc brakes, FOX front and rear suspension, and Roval Traverse 27.5 alloy wheels.

• The completely redesigned alloy Stumpjumper frame features an M5 alloy front- and rear-end, an asymmetrical design, and 27.5 Trail Geometry, so it's just the right amount of both capable and comfortable.
