Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Shocklink

No, this specific link is engineered exclusively for the Stumpjumper EVO models produced between 2021 and 2024. It will not fit standard Stumpjumper models or older EVO generations.

While the link itself may come pre-installed with bearings, it is best practice to inspect your existing pivot hardware during installation. If your current bearings feel gritty or have play, replacing them simultaneously is highly recommended to ensure smooth suspension movement.

The shock link is a structural component that bears significant load. You might need a replacement if the original link has sustained impact damage, developed cracks, or if the pivot interfaces have worn out to the point where they can no longer maintain proper suspension alignment.

Yes, this is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part. It is identical to the component that came on your bike from the factory, ensuring exact geometry and kinematic performance.

If you are comfortable with basic suspension maintenance and have the correct torque wrenches, you can perform this installation yourself. However, because this part is critical to your bike's handling and safety, we recommend having a professional mechanic verify the installation and torque specs if you are unsure.
