Specialized Stumpjumper Review
Specialized is known for producing some incredible MTB and cross country bikes, so you can be sure that you will be getting something good for your money. At the mid to high price ranges, the Specialized Stumpjumpers offer up some competitive specs and ultra lightweight frames.
We loved the models we tested for this review, from their geometry to the componentry. We took these hardtails on some known rough trails as well as through the city to see how they would feel. Overall, performance was impeccable. The pro models have carbon frames and forks and at that price, you’ll be glad to know they deliver! Even on the lower end, aluminum frames are lightweight and well shaped for a breezy ride.
These bikes take impact like it’s nothing, and offer up some incredible speeds. This is no surprise, as Specialized has been fine-tuning the Stumpjumper for the last three decades! Needless to say, this will be one of the best investments you can make!
+Pros:
- Lightweight frames
- Smooth rides on and off road
- Pro specs
- Incredible speeds
- Top notch impact control
-Cons:
- The only complaint was that the lower end tires lacked traction for wetter roads
The Verdict
Overall, these are amazingly well-designed MTBs, even at the bottom of the line, and serve well on any terrain.
We loved the look, specs, and performance of the Specialized Stumpjumperbikes, and we would recommend the top models for competition. These impressive hardtails will be worth their price, whether you buy from the low end or the high end of this range!
Cane Creek Double Barrel Air CS Shock2019 Stumpjumper 29″ and 27.5″The Cane Creek Double Barrel Air was the first rear shock to market featuring the revolutionary twin tube damper technology. Born from the legacy of the Double Barrel Coil shock, the DB Air features 4-way independent damper adjustments including high and low speed compression and high and low speed rebound. The DB Air enables riders to truly custom tune their suspension, optimizing every bike for every rider. The exclusive Twin Tube Technology circulates oil continuously through the damping valving to achieve highly controllable, independent damping for both compression and rebound strokes. This unique design moves oil through externally adjustable valving instead of the main piston, allowing for superior tunability and eliminating the need for internal valving changes to achieve proper shock setup. Now equipped with a climb switch, the DB Air CS has become an enduro/trail weapon ready for the climbs as well as the descents. Unlike any other twin tube shock on the market, the DB Air CS provides climbing specific damping in both compression and rebound circuits. This keeps the suspension active while climbing generating a better connection to the trail and increased efficiency without pedal-bob. These two specific shocks are designed for the 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper 29″ and 27.5″. The model with a 50mm stroke fits the 29″ frame and the model with a 52.5mm stroke fits the 27.5″ frame. If you are looking for more adjustment and control than the current rear shock on your 2019 Stumpjumper, look no further than the CCDB Air CS to take your riding to the next level.Features:High and low speed compression damping and high and low speed rebound dampingAir spring allows for adjustable air volume with spacers to increase progressivenessClimb switch makes climbing up the trails easy with no pedal-bobAnodized and laser-etched finish on exteriorSPECIFICATIONSDampingHigh and low speed compression damping High and low speed rebound dampingSpringAirAdjustmentsAir spring High and low speed compression High and low speed rebound Climb switchShaft MaterialAluminum 7075Shaft MaterialAluminum 7075Size & Options210 x 50mm (29″ Stumpjumper 2019) 210 x 52.5mm (27.5″ Stumpjumper 2019)Intended UseTrail, All Mountain, Enduro, GravityWeight509g (weight varies by size) | Cane Creek DB Air CS Specialized Shock 210/50mm (Bad2343) Stumpjumper 29″ 2019
