boaz Added a comment about feature Specialized Stumpjumper S-Works Vs Stumpjumper Comp Alloy

This is a really great review. One addition I would love to see is several back to back runs timed going downhill on the two bikes to see this difference (if there is one) between the two

Yup. They have motors, this will always be a problem. Absolutely no one should be surprised by this

This is an awesome bike no doubt. I have tons of respect for the amount of money and work specialized puts into developing arguably the nicest bikes out there. Having said that I’m bummed about how motors are taking over mountain biking. My opinion is this is the wrong direction for mountain biking. But at 15k, I can’t say I blame the industry

The athletes and associated camera crews produced some incredible content for this contest. IMO they made mountain biking look so rad. As far as judging, I think they nailed the top 3. Debate will be endless about the ordering of those top 3, but congratulations to the winners.

Lots of assumptions here about what I have / have not tried with MC. I’ve used different weights of oils / messed with the HSC. I’m glad you found something, or at least convinced yourself you found a configuration of MC that works for you. I find it interesting you consider it ‘easy’ given the time you’ve clearly sunk into this. I will make an assumption in return: you ride too slow to understand why this damper is no good

Motion control is the worst damper I’ve used over the years — Especially billed as being good enough, for me it’s not even close. And I’ve spent loads lot time on MC forks. Including boxxer and single crown models. I wish rockshox would do everyone a solid and get rid of this damper

Wow. Brage takes this contest I think. But craziest moment for me is Zink POV of 360 last drop. Landing is too far down

Really well thought through frame, I’d love to ride one. As an aside the pricing makes me sad. When GG is making carbon front triangle frames domestically and selling frame with shock for less than 3k, makes an alloy overseas made frame/shock for 3k look pretty bad. Given the times they’ll probably sell all of them

I had one of the original versions of the banshee scream. 888, gazzolodi tires, etc. 55 pounds. Tons of weight in the frame was around the BB. I’m some situations it was amazing. Others not as much. E bikes feel similar to me now except with better suspension and tires. If your trails are basically up and then down, heavy bikes IMO are great. When the trail is more rolling is when I think they are significantly worse (unless your bike has a motor). Also when pumping is super important a heavy bike can be exhausting

Those jumps are really long in person. And it’s hard to tell in the vid but the quick skip before the last hit in that jump line makes it pretty gnar

Hopefully more people are starting to understand this is not a mountain bike. Big difference from the variety without a motor. And as a side note, didnt expect a new KTM 300 XC tpi to look downright affordable. Trip money left over too. Lol.
