Specialized Stumpjumper

The mullet configuration—a 29-inch front wheel paired with a 27.5-inch rear—gives you the best of both worlds. The larger front wheel rolls over obstacles and maintains momentum, while the smaller rear wheel makes the bike more agile and easier to flick through tight corners or steep, technical sections.

The FOX DHX coil shock offers a very supple, consistent feel that excels on rough, chunky terrain where you want maximum traction and bump sensitivity. If you prioritize small-bump compliance and a planted feel over the adjustability and lighter weight of an air shock, the coil is an excellent choice.

Yes, the bike features adjustable geometry, allowing you to tweak the head tube angle and bottom bracket height to suit your local trails or personal preference. This lets you fine-tune the bike's stability at speed versus its responsiveness in tight terrain.

SWAT stands for 'Storage, Water, Air, and Tools.' It is an integrated compartment inside the downtube of the frame, accessed via a hatch under the bottle cage, allowing you to stash essentials like a tube, pump, or multi-tool directly in the bike frame so you can ride without a pack.

While the Stumpjumper 15 Alloy is built to shred descents, it is designed as a versatile trail bike. The 12-speed Shimano SLX drivetrain provides a wide enough gear range to handle steep climbs efficiently, making it a capable machine for all-day rides that include plenty of pedaling.

Yes, the Roval Traverse wheels are tubeless-ready. While they come pre-taped, you will need to add sealant and install tubeless valves to complete the setup for a puncture-resistant ride.
