2019 Men's Stumpjumper ST Comp Alloy 29

I've ridden this bike for hundreds of miles over the last 10 months. It's is as solid today as day one, and far exceeds my ability to test its limits. Crushes PA roots and rocks with complete disregard for their well-being. Climbs well, but likely better with a lighter rider. Just this week the very first thing went wrong when i broke a spoke. Again, under a lighter rider that would probably still be in one piece. Highly recommended.

Would I recommend this bike to a friend? Yep! Actually I already did, and he loves his Stumpy ST too! In Mid-Michigan we don't have the luxury of blazing downhill, so a normal weekly trip to the trail will have a pretty balanced blend of climbs and downhills where you have to create your own flow. This bike combines the perfect amount of pedal efficiency to rip uphill and is more than ready and capable to handle anything I throw at it in the lower part of the state. Last year I would struggle to keep up with my group of buddies both up hill and downhill, now they're all struggling to keep up with me. Being 5'9 and about 185lbs, I've got the bike dialed in almost perfectly and have yet to bottom out in my 75 miles while taking as large as some 6ft or so drops. I originally had an Ibis Ripmo AF on order but thanks to the national bike shortage I leaned on a local(ish) shop and fell into the ST. For my local terrain, I chose the ST over the normal long travel stumpy and really don't think I could be happier. This bike has a lot to offer on both sides of the hill.

Perfect for smaller drops/technical terrain but can climb like a mountain goat! This bike is buttery smooth on flowy trails and is the perfect in-between XC/Trail bike. Even as a larger rider, the Shimano brakes and Fox suspension performs flawlessly! Smaller drops of 3-4 feet; rocky/rooty terrain; or flowy XC-style trails are all in this bikes wheelhouse! I'm about 6' 1"", 225 lbs and ride a size Large.

I purchased this bike a few weeks ago and through a handful of rides, absolutely no regrets. It is so stable at speed and have had no reason to lockout the shock for climbing to date. I simply can't feel any pedal bob when climbing to warrant the lockout. It is a touch heavy, but it just powers through the bumps and roots like a tank.

i'm 56 yrs old and havent had a bike in 40 years, living in south Florida USA, there arent any mountains, we do have some sick singletracks though, i used a friends competition bike and rode a local trail and was hooked, i gut the stumpjumper and we rode again and it was a totally different experience, this handled large roots and drops that beat me up pretty bad the first run through, the climbs were effortless and the fast winding returns were easily manageable, i get many compliments on the quality of the components from other riders, i may never use the full potential of this bike but it will definitely let me use mine.
