Click to email a link to a friend full-suspension iteration of the bike. After three years of development, Specialized has taken possibly their most proven bike and made thoughtful refinements to make it even better. The new Stumpy is an efficient pedaling trail bike, but through its adjustments and clever suspension tech, it can handle a lot more than your average 145mm travel MTB.The Stumpjumper 15’s front and rear triangles are constructed from FACT 11m carbon fiber.

Now here’s what’s special about the Genie shock: It features an outer positive air chamber and an inner positive air chamber. They work together while you ride, as the outer chamber closes off when you hit about 70% travel. This causes the shock to essentially shrink its air chamber and create a ramp-up effect to increase bottom-out resistance.
By the numbers, Specialized says the Stumpjumper 15 offers 16.3% better bump force management and 57% better traction than the Stumpjumper EVO . Due to the rising rate in the last 30% of the Genie shock’s stroke, Specialized reports 39% fewer severe bottom outs than a traditional air spring. With the Stumpy’s adjustable headset angle and BB height flip-chip, there are six different geo configurations possible. The swappable headset cups offer a neutral setting or +/– 1°. Combined with the BB height chip the Stumpy’s steering angles can vary from 63° to 65.5°. That’s an excellent range for a modern do-it-all trail bike.The BB is fairly low in either setting at 337mm in High position or 330mm in Low. Moving from High to Low also slacks the bike out by 0.5°.
