Specialized Specialized SWorks Stumpjumper XX1 Mountain Bike 2021 Redwood/Smoke

Send it! That’s right, not too stiff, not too soft.... this bike slaps! These days we can make a frame as stiff as the day is long, but it turns out that’s not what feels good on the trail. To be one with the bike requires engineered compliance in the frame. Specialized call this frame a “Sidearm” chassis. See that asymmetric strut that flows along the right side of the shock between the top tube and seat tube? That’s the Sidearm and it’s an integral part of the frame, minimizing twist and allowing us to deliver a very specific feel that unifies the frame from front to rear. Sidearm design not only delivers the ride quality you crave, it does it while using the absolute minimum of material, rendering a frame that is strong, lively and exceptionally lightweight.We’re lucky to be riding during the Golden Age of mountain biking. We have access to more trails than ever, built with more diversity than ever, riders are progressing and nailing what was previously impossible, and now the new Specialized S Works Stumpjumper has evolved to meet the demands of modern riders. Delivering unprecedented control, capability and adjustability, along with unexpected climb-ability, it tames any terrain from chundery jank to progressive high-speed flow and modern big hits. It’s your seat in the eye of the hurricane. And that’s good, ‘cause when shit starts flying on the trail, you’ll be zen in the middle of the mayhem..CONTROL AND CAPABILITYThe EVO brings control and capability to every rider, every style, in every trail scenario. This bike serves up so much control, you can pick lines you never even saw before. And in those inevitable pilot-error situations, the Stumpjumper is your auto-correct for blown lines and your insurance policy for misjudged hucks.CAPABILITY AND STABILITYAvailable in six style-specific sizes, the 2021 S-Works Stumpjumper sets the benchmark for progressive trail geometry, delivering DH capability never before found in a 150mm bike alongside lively climbing manners. How? The generous cockpit gives you the room you need–centering you on the bike, optimizing traction and corner control. The low bottom bracket, slack headtube angle and reduced fork offset keep things stable in the rough, while giving you the freedom to destroy the turns, float through them, or nail the inside lines. A steeper seat tube optimizes power output and puts your weight over the front while climbing. And short chainstays keep things flickable and nimble.THE SWAT™When Specialized introduced the SWAT™ door on the Stumpjumper in 2016, they increased pocket space, and added room for those “oh heck” pumps and flat accessories. With the new Stumpjumper, they have kept those same design hallmarks that you know and love.KINEMATICS AND PEDALING MANNERSThere’s a generous amount of anti-squat early in the travel. When it comes to climbing responsiveness and pedaling snap, anti-squat is your friend. It helps you put the power to the groundwithout unwanted pedal-induced bob, and it transforms wattage into forward and upward momentum.As the suspension moves through its travel, the anti-squat characteristics drop below zero, and thesuspension focuses on sucking up everything from chunder to dead sailoring blind hucks-to-flat.SHRED IN SCILENCEYou won’t realize how much chain-slap was slapping your ride until it’s gone. Oh, the joy of silence! With a new proprietary chainstay protector, it makes the drivetrain now virtually silent by disrupting the sinewave of an unchecked chain clattering away in the rough. The result is the transcendent silence of one hand clappi
