I bought this bike last autumn. It’s so much fun and so nimble in tight tricky situations. Loved the video man, these trails look great. I’m in the UK so the trails and terrain are so different.
Nice bike! I just bought a 2022 Stumpjumper Alloy. Coming from my hardtail Rockhopper to my first full suspension mtb is like a night and day difference. I had my dealer setup the bike along with going tubeless setup. Never had a tubeless setup but hear great advantages to having it. Looks like a nice trail in Florida! I'm up in Pennsylvania and we have hilly and rocky trails. Great video and have fun riding!
I have the same bike only in the cast umber clay color. You can turn the knobs on the brakes to fine tune the bite point of the brake. It helps so you can have them bite sooner. Great content can't wait for the next video. Subscribed.
I enjoyed your video. I have a Stump jumper Comp from 07. I run tubes with 25 psi. It works great. I suggest you may lower your pressure with tubes with great success.
Thanks! I actually also upgraded from a specialized Fuse! Don't recall if it was a 2019 or 2020 model though, but this is a big improvement and a great first full sus bike... I love it
Thanks. Just last week I got a stumpie just like yours only S5 ( I’m 6’3”) and the gunmetal color. Ok it’s not just like yours but close. Problem I’m having is that it’s currently about 5 deg F and plenty of snow on the ground (I’m in Colorado) so I haven’t yet been able to ride it!
I have both the Rockhopper and Stumpjumper, before going tubless on my Rockhopper I was running 27psi in both tires, as for my Stumpjumper I pitched the sram brakes and put Shimano on it, as for ride quality it definitely feels like it's stuck to the trail
I took this same exact bike down a black diamond trail in Marquette Michigan and the suspension reached it's limit pretty quickly. But it's an awesome bike for a beginner.
Our Florida diamond/double black are pretty mellow in comparison to anywhere else. So I far I have been ok with susp. not bottoming out. If it happens I'll consider upgrading tho, thanks for heads up!
@@vasthepirate5673 Well the issue with suspension is it doesn't like repeated hits that much, I read on thread that the rear shock is the main culprit and I would agree with that. The fork has to compensate a lot for the rear shock. The trail I rode on was a really chunky trail so when you start going really fast your shaking like nuts lol and the bike becomes very hard to control. I plan on replacing the rear shock with a DVO seems to be a really good shock.
@@Mikesonbikes That won't compensate for the shock on this model. You can only go so slow on the rebound before it just bottoms out all the time on rough terrain. Now if I rode a lot slower then it's not a problem. The shock doesn't have good support. I plan on changing it out with a stronger shock in the future.
I wouldn’t tell people to set their rear to suspension to half open… open it all the way up and if your sag isn’t set correctly then you could be struggling on climbs. Also the brakes are not squishy but may need adjustment which you can do with the little dial on the brake lever.
Thanks for the feedback, I’m kind of a noob when it comes to full suspension, and still learning some things. I’ll make a follow up video to talk about the susepension etc. I did figure out how to tighten the brakes and had no issues with them so far
If you haven't gone tubless yet drop your tire pressure to 30psi, you shouldn't have any problems hitting big jumps and drops, it'll also help with grip also
Admire the frame. Alloy, not that carbon-junk that always has weight limitations. My neighbor has the Comp Alloy, and having a 260 pound frame(plus daypack), on the saddle, he has all-day trail rides with luxury performance.
I dont have any exp with status but based on its specs and travel it's more of a downhill bike. This is more of an all arouind "trail" bike. I think if you will be doing mostly flat trails, this would be a better option, but if you can, I recommend doing a demo and also chatting with someone at a local bike shop
I say see if you can find a store where you can try both… s4 should offer better maneuverability and s5 better stability at speed. I went with s4 and i’m 6ft exactly. Really loving it after riding for a while now
Hey my best recommendation to you would be to try and find both sizes in stock somewhere and then ride them both... Like you, I was also between sizes (S4 and S5), I'm 6foot, so I did a test ride on both sizes and found that the larger size felt a bit harder to control. I felt very comfortable on the S4 which is what I got. Per Specialized site (www.specialized.com/us/en/s-sizing) going for the larger size, you get better stability at higher speed (so if you have straighter flowy trails vs. you get better handling with a smaller size (think tight turns and switchbacks).
pretty sure it was Amazon... I have actually lost it since by leaving it on my bike while traveling, with bike on my yakima roofracks... It got blown off its support at speed lol
Shop guy told me it was a 2022 model, but checking online now, I’m not even sure lol. How can you tell it’s 2021 vs 2022? Specs are exactly the same between these years from what I can tell. Thanks for your feedback btw!
Black, orange and white sage colors are for the base level stumpjumper model (stumpjumper alloy) the 2022 stumpjumper “comp” alloy mode comes in sage green and satin gunmetal. See link here: www.specialized.com/us/en/stumpjumper-comp-alloy/p/199785?color=320400-199785

Thank you for the information now as soon as I get the money I’m getting this thank you I live in Australia. Keep it up love the vid
Awesome, I hope you can get it! I love it!
Adding mt biking to my hobbies..im used to a dirt bike an boy not having a throttle is seriously exposing how out of shape I am.
I have the same bike only in the cast umber clay color. You can turn the knobs on the brakes to fine tune the bite point of the brake. It helps so you can have them bite sooner. Great content can't wait for the next video. Subscribed.
Thanks I appreciate your sub! I’ll mess with the knobs, i guess I should read the manual lol. I’ll cover that bit in my next video
I enjoyed your video. I have a Stump jumper Comp from 07. I run tubes with 25 psi. It works great. I suggest you may lower your pressure with tubes with great success.
I’ve set up tubeless already a while back, works well
That is my next bike. That very color matches my truck.
Rrrrrrr matey, freakin nice new bike day bike!
thanks boss!
I have a 2020 fuse that I’m looking to upgrade to this bike. Great video!
Thanks! I actually also upgraded from a specialized Fuse! Don't recall if it was a 2019 or 2020 model though, but this is a big improvement and a great first full sus bike... I love it
I have the exact same bike and I love it! That’s a fun looking trail btw.
Yea man, bike is amazing! Trail builders get creative here in Florida, simce we dont have many mountains lol
Thanks Will
Thanks for the video!

Nice! I liked that gunmetal color also. Hope you get to ride it soon!
I have the gun metal taupe also. Mine is matt. I doubled the mtb riding just because I love the bike

I bought the Stumpjumper Pro....full carbon....amazing bike
Nice! That’s a great bike, was outside of my budget, but maybe next one!
@@vasthepirate5673 i just picked one up for 2,399 on sale. Treks blowing em out for the next version.

@@vasthepirate5673 also if you are hitting your thumb on the dropper you can move it in.
Nice duck 🦆! Can’t wait to go hit the trails!
Thanks, I love the duck! Gotta ride soon!
If you haven't gone tubless yet drop your tire pressure to 30psi, you shouldn't have any problems hitting big jumps and drops, it'll also help with grip also
Yea thanks I’ve set up tubeless since then and now rode about 20 psi rear and 18-19 front

Great review thinking of buying the stumpjumper Pro which comes with sram rsc brakes that's my only concern maybe I'll get used to them? 🤔
I have now been riding this bike for a while and I really got used to the G2s. They work really well and I had no issues with their stopping power.
I need a bike for flat trials in se texas. This or status? I think i read status is more for downhill?
I dont have any exp with status but based on its specs and travel it's more of a downhill bike. This is more of an all arouind "trail" bike. I think if you will be doing mostly flat trails, this would be a better option, but if you can, I recommend doing a demo and also chatting with someone at a local bike shop
I’ve got the same bike and to give you heads up the wheels are already tubeless ready so you don’t need to tape it up
Yea I got the valves too. I set up tibeless before on my hardtail, just gotta find the time and do it
I’m 6’0” and a beginner, would you recommend a S4 or S5?
I say see if you can find a store where you can try both… s4 should offer better maneuverability and s5 better stability at speed. I went with s4 and i’m 6ft exactly. Really loving it after riding for a while now
Should I do S2 or S3 for a 5.5-5.6 male?

were u buy the duck? :)
pretty sure it was Amazon... I have actually lost it since by leaving it on my bike while traveling, with bike on my yakima roofracks... It got blown off its support at speed lol
Does it have a dropper post?
Yup it does
@@vasthepirate5673 👍🏽
How much does it weigh?
32.9 pounds stock, but I removed the tubes so it went down like a pound or two. Size S4.
@@vasthepirate5673 My old epic comp is 27lbs.
Seems like the newer ones would be less. I guess cause mine is an xc
It’s easy on the jumps
Havent hit any proper jumps yet!
Dont mean to be a prick, but this is the 2021 model FYI
Shop guy told me it was a 2022 model, but checking online now, I’m not even sure lol. How can you tell it’s 2021 vs 2022? Specs are exactly the same between these years from what I can tell. Thanks for your feedback btw!
@@vasthepirate5673 the color way mostly, 2022 comes in matte black, orange and white sage only
Black, orange and white sage colors are for the base level stumpjumper model (stumpjumper alloy) the 2022 stumpjumper “comp” alloy mode comes in sage green and satin gunmetal.
