Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Expert 2021 Mountain Bike Technical Talk Round

  • Опубліковано 5 жов 2020
  • Specialized have evolved the radical Evo version of their Stumpjumper trail mountain bike even further with more adjustability, more control and less weight. I was lucky enough to let rip on the awesome trails of Innerleithen for a day of testing, tweaking and trying not to break my leg again. So here's a post ride talk through of the technical details.
    Massive thanks to Specialized UK for inviting me up to the launch, Murray at Glentress Hotel for looking after us and Adrenalin Uplift for guiding and gifting the gravity gain.
    Huge thanks as always to my Patreon subscribers for investing in the growth of the channel. If you like what I'm doing and want early, extended and exclusive edits, personal buying and tech advice and other Patreon perks click on the link here: www.patreon.com/GuyKesTV?fan_...
    Any questions get busy in the comments.
    Cheers Guy

    Cheers for the review. I'm upgrading my a 2013 Feul EX 9. Was stuck on a New Fuel 9.8 or a slash 8... I think this hits the sweet spot in the middle really.

    Good review Guy, Hope they do the comp spec (SLX, 36 rythem) in alloy with the swat box like trek have with the new slash. That’s a bike I would buy, not a fan of carbon when smashing down local trials like Garburn pass.

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому +1

      I've not seen the alloy one but typically they only put the SWAT box on carbon bikes. I hear you on Garburn, rocks rattling off the tubes is not a good noise.

    I love the adjustable forks and improvements (especially increased storage). Can all forks/bikes be adjusted by changing headset stuff?

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому

      You can fit an angle adjusting headset to most bikes but this comes with a very easy to use one as standard.

  • @Gdownification
    @Gdownification 3 роки тому

    What do you think about this vs the Bronson/Hightower? The Evo is top of my list at the moment, but I had a chance to give a Bronson a parking lot ride recently and it felt really good. I’m looking for an aggressive all arounder that can handle rougher eastern US trails and the occasional bike park. Thanks, and thanks for the review!

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому +2

      Bronson is more agile and slides around more on the 27.5 tyres but not as fast rolling. Hightower feels stiffer than Evo and has a more positive pedalling feel due to the suspension set up. Lifetime warranty too. Evo has slacker/adjustable head angle and SWAT and smoother suspension feel.

    • @Gdownification
      @Gdownification 3 роки тому

      @@GuyKesTV Ok, thanks! That helps out a lot. Did the Evo feel more precise or more like it wanted to just truck over everything? Did it feel a bit numb to the trails? That’s the biggest thing I’m worried about with it I guess. The Bronson is attractive for the increased agility, but the Evo on paper seems like it’d be ideal

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому +1

      I'm not really allowed to talk about it as the release date is 13th of October but seems only I got that memo. T9 is noticeably better in the dry in terms of more grip and damping than the previous tyres (which are now rebadged as T7). In the wet they've still definitely got some work to do to catch up to the category leaders.

    Hey!
    Would you recommend this bike as an all-mountain / enduro rig? going from a 170 travel 27.5 to 29, I think I could use / get away with less travel.
    What other bikes would you recommend?
    I ride in Ireland, so all the trails are rooty, muddy and off camber :-) And of course what goes down, must go back up, so I want a bike that pedals well.
    Thanks

  • @gweflj
    @gweflj 3 роки тому +1

    Downvoted because you didn’t mention the compromised rear brake routing for left hand-rear brake users like yourself. Without the headtube acting as a strain relief on a hose and you have a crash to cause the bars to spin anti-clockwise and it’s game over for the hose.

    • @GuyKesTV
      @GuyKesTV  3 роки тому

      Ah sorry JCL, TBH it's so common I forget to call it out these days. Plus I've never actually trashed a hose that way in a crash, and I've had plenty of crashes!

      @@GuyKesTV It is common although Giant, Trek and Norco don't. Yeah it's rare to spin the bars but happened to me mid way through an Enduro on a borrowed bike. Sucked. Not to mention it looks crap having a big loop of hose sticking out.
