Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Comp - 2021, S3/Medium

The 2021 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Comp is a genre-defying all-mountain machine, redesigned from the ground up to be the most adjustable and capable trail bike in the world. Built with a premium FACT 11m carbon chassis, the EVO version of the Stumpjumper takes the versatility of the standard platform and injects it with aggressive, "rowdy" geometry. With its signature Sidearm frame design, it delivers a telepathic connection between the rider and the trail, offering a level of mid-stroke support and stiffness that is usually reserved for pure enduro race rigs.

This S3 build is equipped with a high-performance Shimano SLX 1x12 drivetrain, a setup beloved by mountain bikers for its "set and forget" reliability and smooth shifting under load. To handle high-speed descents and steep, technical chutes, the bike is fitted with Shimano SLX 4-piston hydraulic brakes, providing massive stopping power and fade resistance. Suspension is anchored by a 160mm Fox 36 Rhythm fork and a Fox Float DPX2 rear shock, delivering 150mm of supple, progressive travel that eats up chunder while maintaining an efficient pedaling platform.

One of the standout features of this 2021 model is its unparalleled adjustability—the 3-way adjustable headset and chainstay flip-chip allow the rider to tune the head angle between a slack 63° and a steep 65.5° to match the terrain. Rolling on durable Roval Traverse alloy wheels with high-volume Maxxis Ardent tires, the EVO is ready for everything from flowy local laps to rugged bike park days. For a rider between 5'5" and 5'11" who wants a "quiver-killer" that can climb efficiently and absolutely send the descents, this Stumpjumper EVO is the ultimate choice.
