I'm also thinking of buying this bike for a mid drive electric conversion, but i was wondering where the battery would go. The bottle cage attachment seems to far down the downtube for the battery to fit. How's your build coming along?
@@troypresa I have a shark/dolphin pack battery, exactly the one that goes to the bottle cage attachments. Mine didn't fit because my battery is just too big and the rear suspension gets in the way. With an smaller battery it is doable, either attaching it straight to the bottle cage attachments or putting an aluminium plate (some batteries come with one) on the bottle cage nuts, then drill separate holes in the plate to have the battery higher in the frame. Some people also attach the battery below the downtube, with hose clamps/velcro straps etc. I put mine on the top tube, it's ugly and dangerous because It's attached with zip ties right now. I still have to figure an better way to keep the battery still. There are other battery options, but an battery attached on top/down tube is best for the weight distribution. oh and this bike has those ISCG tabs near the bottom bracket, these came to me as an surprise and one of them blocked the motor. Had to buy an angle grinder and cut the tab off and be able to push the motor in the bb. but bike works great and is really fun on small forest paths and other "rough" terrain
The 2022 Evo Comp Alloy comes factory with 800mm bars. So 780mm would make perfect sense on a regular stumpy. Most bikes that aren't cross country come with either 780mm or 800mm bars.
Only you can decide if this is the bike for you. Do a little research; you'll quickly figure out which bike suits you best.. Glad you enjoyed the vid; appreciate the support.
I have the Stumpjumper Carbon Comp since a year.
Dream Bike and climbs like a mountain goat. I run it in the High Position.
Cheers from Switzerland

Tires are tubeless ready. Rim strips are tubeless also. Easy setup . Just buy the stems and add the juice.
Good thing to know, thanks!!
Awesome review, super in depth
Glad you liked it

Couldn’t hardly hear the narration over the music.
Had similar comment on a different vid some time ago. Not sure what the problem is.
Problem is , music too loud.
I leave it on all the time. Have never locked it out.
Awesome video. You’ll definitely shred it up on that bike. What do you think about those wide handlebars?
They Are wide! I have long arms, so they work well for me, but I did scrape the right grip on a narrow bridge railing.
Great video mate.
Turn the music off
I’m planning on buying my first double suspension bike, would you recommend this bike to be my first?
Awesome video by the way.

I just upgraded to this from my 2005 stumpjumper hardtail. I have about 40 miles (all trail miles) on mine so far and I couldn’t be happier.
