One of the mechanics was rebuilding his wheel using the park tool video where they tell you to put the tape on as a "reference spoke".

At this point I think Loic's mechanic is just finding new ways to troll us bike nerds.

Youre not pigeonholed on anything! nothing, nada, people glomming onto misinformation, Super negative about a rear shock that can automatically change the size of the volume by its position in the stroke....That seems brilliant! A bike that appears to tick all the possible boxes that one could want from an "do everything" trail bike? Im disappointed in all of us here

from jason's vital review which has exactly what you're asking..... "include tighter writing, more of the reviewer's personal voice, way less mealy language of it's claimed it might it may." to not include the marketing claims from a brand in a review seems the wrong way to go. putting down a brand's claim with a reviewer's experience could justify or negate the marketing hype. isn't that the whole point of the review? to see if the brand/bike is full of shit or not?

145/55 = 2.63. Not unusual whatsoever. Damping forces can be tuned too, there's no set amount of damping depending on leverage ratio. You could make a shock for a 4:1 leverage ratio frame no problem.

Im so utterly baffled by the comments on the Stumpy Its not a proprietary shock, its simply only currently available on the Stumpy, give it a hot minute, and I bet you'll see it available.... Its not exclusively running Fox suspension, as there is an Ohlins model available....Which should mean that both coil is acceptable, and pretty much any other shock will work (might require an appropriate tune) Mullet is an option on S3 and up sizing.... simply buy some stick on cable guides and run whatever you want on it. All of you "cry out" for external routing anyway...

Because they’re relatively expensive and people want to point out everything negative about it even if it’s only based on personal preference. You are correct, the bike is looking to be a killer all rounder with a few interesting designs features but at the end of the day, they’re going to sell heaps of them because they appeal to the majority of the market. That’s the point and why Specialized is successful.

No, the Genie shock is like literally the polar opposite of that. The system works to increase the effective spring rate within the last 30% of travel, not the compression damping.

Jason, I'd like to point out a minor mistake in your otherwise great article: You say that the new Stumpjumper 15 is incompatible with cable-actuated derailleurs. That's correct. But then you write that this is also true for the Epic 8, which it isn't. With the Epic and Epic Evo, it's a slightly different story: It's only the S-Works models that aren't compatible with cable-actuated derailleurs.

Like it or not, it’s the oldest mtb model still selling. On top of that, speci has a huge amount of money for r&d and a lot of folks look forward to see what they come up with. Mainstream-wise, they kinda set the pace for the other big brands. And finally, the stumpy and stumpy Evo have been pretty consistently awesome the last couple of iterations.

Iwould consider the Stumpjumper the benchmark for a mountain bike. Maybe it hasn't been the most exciting or revolutionary bike, but it's always done everything really, really well. And as the trail, all-mountain, whatever-you-want-to-call-it-segment has grown denser and murkier, the Stumpjumper has consistently remained a trendsetter and pack leader. From rider-centric sizing to internal frame storage to adjustable geometry—the Stumpy helped usher in many of the features we expect to find on new bikes. The current Stumpjumper and Stumpjumper EVO came out in 2021 and were critically acclaimed for their adjustability and distinct personalities. Even today, it's hard to...

Am I mistaken? I thought they ship 29 but the 27.5 link is available for all sizes?

I was catching up reading all the pre-embargo chit-chat about the Stumpy and you beat me to linking our review, Spomer. Do we even need to cover new bike launches at this point? All you internet detectives seem to get the job done just fine haha I'm curious what people think about the Stumpy after they read through all the details. As you'll see, I only rode the bike for two days, but I really liked it. I gave more of an overview of how the GENIE shock works and focused more on what that translated to on the trail...

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 Status 160?
