New in the SWAT team: Stumpjumper Evo with aluminium frame
The aluminium version of the Specialized Stumpjumper Evo comes with a completely new frame. The new aluminium Jumpy emulates the carbon model in more than just the geometry.

The newest member of the Stumpjumper-family is said to be the most advanced aluminium frame ever developed by Specialized. The geometry is already familiar from the carbon models, and the rider also has the option of adjusting the head tube angle by up to 2.5 degrees on the aluminium model. The hydroformed down tube is equipped with an integrated SWAT box - for the first time in combination with an aluminium frame.

The so-called S-sizing with frame sizes S1 to S6 is intended to offer riders the opportunity to choose the bike that best suits their riding style. If you are looking for a playful, snappy riding behaviour, go for a smaller size. If more riding stability is required, the larger size is ideal.

The rear suspension kinematics have been made slightly more progressive - for enough pop on the trail. Paired with six different geometry settings and an optionally available shock rocker that allows for a 27.5-inch rear wheel, the 2022 Specialized Stumpjumper Evo Alu should be adaptable to a wide range of requirements.

There are two versions of the aluminium model of the Stumpjumper Evo to choose from. The 6000 Euro The more expensive Elite model comes with Fox Factory equipment, a solid Sram GX groupset and powerful Code RS brakes from Sram. The more affordable Comp version is equipped with a Fox 36 Rhythm and the Float X Performance and is available for 4000 Euro to have.

  In moderation: Specialized customers can decide whether their bike should be more agile or smoother. The six frame sizes of the Specialized S-Sizing are therefore not only called differently than before, there is also a slightly different approach behind them.Photo: Hersteller In moderation: Specialized customers can decide whether their bike should be more agile or smoother.
