2022 Stumpjumper EVO Alloy Rahmenset

Bike rides and feels amazing after I got the cascade link. What an improvement! Headset cups creak like crazy after a few rides. You can clean, grease, whatever.....still creaks after a few rides.

I was in the market for a daily trail machine that could survive the rugged New England conditions (roots of death and endless rock gardens) but at the same time be fun on machine-built trails and bike parks. Carbon is not the best choice here. My problem was finding an alloy bike with modern and fun geometry, and the Stevo Alloy was the answer. Another problem that Specialized helped me solve was finding a frameset. Most other companies are still in post-COVID mode and only sell complete bikes, which isn't an option for me because I always build my bikes. Pros: alloy, fun, fast downhill, good uphil, SWAT and 22oz bladder is an uber feature, no need to take a hip pack for longer rides. Cons: The shock is "too small" for this bike. It does the job, but this bike needs something more heavy-duty and progressive. Mediocre performance on flats, but that is not what this bike is meant for.

Beautiful heavy duty frame. Setup was easier than past builds with cable routing. The ride is a big upgrade from my last full sus.

Good bike

The stevo is a great bike and this frame is not the exception. I love how the mimic the form of the carbon version in this frame. The SWAT box is huge and is really light to be aluminum. The color is amazing too, it goes with everything you want to combine it, and you can easily convert the Float X Performance into Performance Elite with the fox compresion knob kit.

Very very solid frame and efficient suspension. Completely adjustable geo so you are able to take this from trail to park shredder in about 15 minutes.

I have the S4 AL paired with 190 mm Zeb. The bike is pure joy. It can eat absolutely anything and still climbs steep incline really well. Love the feel of it. Not too heavy. The geometry is just right. Riding at 64.5 but appreciate the ability to go 63.5. + having the SWAT box is really great.

I love this frame. Super adjustable. Buy it now! My only complaint is with the web/photo of this item. It isn't even close to brown on the base. It really is gunmetal gray. Fix your color maps Specialized!!!!

This bike is absolutely phenomenal in every way, any kind of terrain I ride it on and anything I throw at it it will perform extremely well. Love how the bike is so adaptable to different terrains and or styles of riding

Bike is a notable improvement over my previous stumpy. Looks great, performs great. It was an easy process to order online.

Great option over carbon frames. Not too heavy!!!

Researched FS bikes for a year before purchasing. My non-negotiables were alloy, threaded BB, modern geo, boost spacing, 29er, and versatility. The stumpy evo alloy checked all the boxes. It’s not simply that this bike is able to be ridden on flat, flow, natural, or jump trails. It’s that it EXCELS on whichever types of trails you ride it on. Certainly the frameset can be purpose-built, but the engineered pedaling platform, travel amounts, and body positioning make it near perfect in all situations. Specialized nailed all the details as well; cable routing, SWAT box/tool, chain protection, headset system are all dialed. The colorway also looks great in real life, much deeper gun metal color vs the stock photos. If you want a bike that inspires confidence and puts a smile on your face no matter what type of trail you ride, the stumpy evo is the only choice.

Love the frame and the geo adjustability is incredible. Put a few runs down Downieville and Mt. Hough this year and this bike rips. I am 5'6" and am running a S3 with a mullet set-up. Extremely surprised at the pedaling efficiency as well. Incredible all-around bike, period.

I have been on specialized bikes for the last few years, and this is probably my favorite one! For me, this bike is the perfect middle ground between the stumpy and the Enduro. Playful, yet solid. Also, the fact that the SWAT box was available on the alloy frame made this one a no brainer for me.

Super solid frame! Attention to detail is great and the frame feels robust while maintaining a fairly lightweight aluminum package. The SWAT door integration is such a great plus!! Plenty of storage space (more than the enduro) and sealed great to prevent water from touching whatever is inside. It is also very easy to clean, as most of the frame is very open and accesible which is always welcome. The geometry adjustments are quite simple and can be done fairly quickly to give a whole new ride feel. Overall a great frame to build a hard hitting trail bike with plenty of geometry adjustments to suit any riding style and terrain.

So I am building a bike and this frame was the best it works so good for what I was creating I fully suggest this to anyone who wants to build their own bike.
