Honestly this whole hipster vibe is just getting up my ass! Specialized is a massive multinational company, not a bunch of stoked guys in a garage making stuff they love to ride for themselves and their friends. There is way too much inspirational lifestyle vibe in this content.
FSR big hit was my first specialized. I want the ohlins version. At least a demo on one. If I had time to ride more and didn’t already have a few bikes I would really consider buying one.
Honest question: I own a 22’ Stumpy pro, swapped to a Float X. I’m 230# rider weight. The suspension has always been extremely linear, such that I’m bottoming out regularly with max tokens and 285 psi in the rear. All the talk of the new platform being more linear, relying on the shock design to add progression, with a max rider weight at 240… am I going to run into the same issues as the 22? Was really hoping the new design would have a more progressive leverage rate to help the shock not have to work so hard. Any recommendations are appreciated!
@@brian6speed no link on the non-Evo stumpy, and limited coils rated for the forces added by the yoke/extension design and side load forces implied. Plus coils are linear, so rely even more on a progressive geometry, which is the base of the original issue - lack of frame progression in the 22’ stumpy.
Here comes Cascade Components to save the day to offer a link for 150mm of Rear Wheel Travel. :D Insert a 160mm Fork and Wha la, you got the Stumpy EVO 2. :D
In all do respect, I find it funny that you have taken a 4 year old previously developed platform of the Status. Modified it a bit from a down hill, slopestyle, enduro, freeridish platform to a more balanced trail, all mountain, enduro platform. Also now providing it in carbon. Charging asinine prices, lying to the consumers that it's all new design. This leads to the gradual downfall of the biking industry as a whole. I saw this in paintball, the race for innovation while ripping the consumer off with higher and higher pricing led to a drastic decline in new enterents to the sport decimating, retailers, fields, and manufacturers. I know you guys dont give two Fs because you're one of the big 3 monopolies in the biking industry. But even giants eventually fall. There really has to be a major push by the industry as a whole to provide decently speced all round bikes under the 3000 to 3500 US FS and 1500 US HT price point that have middle tear components weighing under 35lbs. Instead, we get cheap brakes, heavy basic suspension, god awful Sram NX or SXshit drivetrains, cheap rims, and cheap rubber. If companies like Polygon can do it, and now hopefully Kona with its restructuring, so can you.
Maybe because you have not tried yeti bikes! Like trek and specialized I never had the need to ride them for the past 18+ years. Specialized is just meh.
Such an awesome video! Stoked to have some of our music included here! Glad to be a part of this!

Matt runs with an aluminum version and mechanical transmission. let's wait!
Looks like shimano xt, but mechanical transmission would be amazing
Based on the shimano brakes id assume shimano drivetrain too!
@@morgansawyer7961 Agreed
Just a master piece! Congrats to all the team!
When is the al coming out?😏 saw it in a clip

...but those are the people making the bikes?
Noticed an AL Stumpy in that clip 👀
🤷♂️
Will there be another Status?

When is specialized going to level up and go to belt drive bikes?
Are the suspension rising rate figures (suspension curve) going to be released ? Shock sounds like an integrated 'piggyback ' assembly.
For those wondering, @11:50 you can see the alloy version 😅
All the creators, so sick
Welcome To The External Cable Routing.
not even zip tie tabs 😕
The current Levo has no to little hold up! So hope that helps it
Keep up the great research. I'll probably keep buying them but not with wireless transmission. It doesn't shift fast enough for my style
I don't understand why the pneumatic assist is necessary when you have shocks like the X2 and Vivid.
oh shit! Alan bout that van life???!?!?!?

cascade link with coil shock

Where was this filmed?
How long for alloy?
Would be cool if there was a spring made of metal for a consistent and linear spring curve, with progressive alternatives 😝
at the quantum level, locality is a matter of probability
🤓
When is the new Levo out ppplllleeeaaassseee?
normally it is 80/20 but 90/10 is good too. :D
What was happening on that lathe
We need door hinges too!
Sickkkk!!!
Allen Cooke? The dude from the X games ??
beauty but what is the travel?
145mm rear

300 bucks for 5mm seems expensive.
@@dft1 Agreed but if someone is so inclined, they'd do it. MTB's and parts for them aren't cheap but it is what it is.
nice, now a new Levo plz. With over 1KWH Battery, smaller Engine with same Power, less consumption and the same or less weight, Thank you ;)
$12K Bike... Here, take my kidney.
Yup! another overpriced bike. Soon to be 20k
Neccs In this
i hope have new road bike
Cmon Specialized, lose the derailleur and catch up with all the MGU bikes.
But do their lawyers shred too?
Someone pass me the cool aid

Hey specialized, AXS is cool…
But not everyone wants it. No bikepacking with this thing.
And at 9 thousand dollars its definitely worth it. Nice package for the money ;)
Leave mechanical setup of suspension, go for electric version, make it reliable and effective and it will be the best suspension in modern era of mtb.
NS lepsze
I heard it’s not that great!!
Maybe because you have not tried yeti bikes! Like trek and specialized I never had the need to ride them for the past 18+ years. Specialized is just meh.
It's nice to have options. It's a great time to be a mountain biker.
Yeti is overpriced. I built high spec stumpy evo for under 5k.
@@brian6speed specs?
Looks like a boring bike guys.. nothing special
