The 2019 Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Carbon is a long travel, full suspension 27.5 inchwheel mountain bike, built for the trail with 12 speedgearing & a stiff full carbon frame. True life is full of compromises. But on the trail, were adamant believers that you should never have to settle. Thats why the Womens Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 27.5, with SRAMs 12-speed NX Eagle groupset, goes above & beyond to provide you with the ride of your life. Every touchpoint is tailored for female riders, while the frame shatters every rule in the design book with a total disregard for proprietary nonsense, a revolutionary new asymmetrical frame, & custom shock tunes exclusively for women. The design goal for the new Stumpjumper was simple”build the ultimate trail bike, one that feels telepathic. & it turns out that this feeling all comes down to stiffness. Think of it this way: when the frames telling your hands one thing & your feet another, your brain gets confused with the imbalance & the bike feels unstable. In order to fix this, Specialized had to get to work on dialling-in the materials, shapes, & the layout. They started by creating their own mountain-specific stiffness test, & then we looked at the layout with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to see where we could get the biggest stiffness improvements. This led to a big discovery: The Large & X-Large frames needed more front-end stiffness while the Smalls & Mediums were just fine. Specialized were able to create a frame design that was 20% more efficient. & in the end, this proved to be one of the lightest trail frames on the market, today. When designing the frame with the stiffness targets being a main goal, Specialized developed a radical new sidearm design. The front-end & rear-end are connected at three points, & the sidearm helps keep all these points super stiff & connected, all while taking about 100 grams out of the rear-end. More explicitly, this minimizes frame flex when the rear suspension is active. They continued down the suspension path with a custom Rx Trail Tune on both the fork & rear shock. Suspension performance is highly dependent on the frame, wheel, & rider size, so we use our Womens Rx Tune to get each bike to land in the middle of the adjustment spectrum, & this gives you the biggest possible range to fine-tune your ride. Another focal point of the tune was matching the suspension characteristics between wheel sizes we developed a specific Rx Tune for each platform. So, no matter what wheel size you prefer, youll get perfectly linear suspension. Steps were also taken to make this bike easy to live with. Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return, androom for up to a 3.0 tyre. Youre also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want, since its using a standard metric shock. They revamped the SWAT box, too, making it sleeker, lighter, & with more volume. & customization is furthered with a Flip Chip that lets you to dial-in your Stumpy to your riding style. Switch it from High to Low & it drops your bottom bracket 6mm & slackens the head tube by half-a-degree. Little details also jump out to surprise you, like a newly designed ribbed chainstay protector that makes chain slap a thing of the past & nearly silences the drivetrain. Lastly, you seriously couldnt make cable routing any easier on carbon models. Full tubes can be found throughout the carbon frame, so all you have to do is push the cable & itll come out the other end. No more lazy loop, hidden stashes of magnets, pokey spokes, or pillows to cry in. The build on this Comp model comes with a list of components that deliver undeniable quality, like a SRAM NX Eagle drivetrain, SRAM Guide R disc brakes, FOX front & rear suspension, & Roval Traverse 27.5 wheels. Meanwhile, every point that your body comes into contact with the bike has been tailored specifically for female riders with the inclusion of superlative kit, like a Body Geometry Myth Comp saddle, Sip Grips, & 750mm bars.
