My two cents on pricing: give it 6+ months. When has Specialized not rolled out more options with time? The builds at launch are a few hundred dollars more than the previous Stumpys, but they are also within touch of where there bikes have been. It's like anything new—there will be the early adopters who don't mind paying top dollar to have the latest and greatest. Then, the rest of us will get on board when we can justify the cost. Or we'll just keep riding our 2021 Stumpy and texting on our iPhone 6. Right , @sspomer?

In the "Creator Story" video published by specialized, Matt Hunter looks to be riding an alloy version of the bike, complete with wired (Mechanical) Shimano drivetrain.

Sizes S1 and S2 are Mullet only. S3 and up come as 29 but can be mullet with the link. I think it is confusing some.

I'm sure it's one of the nicest riding bikes out there, but that is a ton of money to severely limit your suspension and drivetrain choices.

As someone who's going to be selling their current gen Stumpy Evo in the next year I'm glad to hear Specialized care about my resale value. 😄

I'm sure it rides amazing but no way I'll be buying one until they release an alloy version compatible with cable derailleurs and a mullet link for size S3, there's just too many restrictive aspects (not to mention price) for me to consider today's models a bike that will last 5+ years. Which sucks because I held off on buying...

Are they going to release an aluminum frame version of the new Stumpy at some point? Seems like a pretty solid bike all around, although $5,500 is pretty high for a 'base' model these days.

Just saw on the PB article that there’s no routing option for a cable drive train on the new stumpy. What the fuck is wrong with these people.

All this leads me to believe they'll release an alloy budget version like they did with the Epic and Chisel full squish that works with cable drivetrains. Hopefully it's mullet compatible (not restricted to S1/S2) otherwise those are two massive misses compared to the Evo. Other option to fill the gap between new stumpy and enduro might be a revamped...

"Welcome, We focused on amazing, fascinating ,unbelievable and bikes. Here is an old bike.......it is bad. Our new bike is everything you ever wanted with all the things that are good and no bad things. Here is a person who agrees. In short, people who want a bike will like it because we made it better. This is a person.....he is great also. The things we have improved are better things now. 'I like it a lot' Thankyou fellow humans" I need proof that wasn't Ai generated.

Personal opinion, but Crane Mountain's probably unwilling to support the racing. Reason why so many parks get visited on so many grassroots downhill/enduro race series stops is because the infrastructure is already there, and the series doesn't have the pull to convince the venues to really go out of their way to build something new.

Trying to pull off a mtb race on public land is a multi year nightmare ask me how I know. Not to mention the logistics for EMS and uplift for a down hill race.
