2021 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert
Vital Review
Overall Review
The Stumpjumper EVO truly evolved in 2018, taking the long, low, slack mantra to new extremes for the brand.

But what if our tired old legs were just playing a trick on us, so used to dragging our big enduro bikes up a hill that we had simply lost our reference points? To put our first impressions to the test, we called in some reinforcements to help us evaluate the IZZO against some seriously fast competition. Check out the video review below to see how this new trail bike performed when we took it to Cross Country school...
