The Stumpjumper is one of the most important bikes in mountain biking history. Specialized launched the original back in 1981 and it was one of the first production mountain bikes ever made. Over forty years later, it is still the benchmark trail bike that every other manufacturer measures themselves against.
The current Stumpjumper sits in the middle of the Specialized MTB range. It has more travel than the Epic cross country bike but less than the Enduro. That makes it the do everything trail bike, equally at home on a red run at a Welsh trail centre or a natural loop in the Peak District. It climbs well enough that you will not dread the uphills, and descends confidently enough that you will look forward to the downs.
On the used market, Stumpjumpers are everywhere. The brand's popularity means there are always riders upgrading or switching to a different discipline. This works in your favour because prices are competitive and you have plenty of choice.
The Stumpjumper has always been about balance, and the current versions nail it. The suspension is plush enough to keep you comfortable on rocky trails but firm enough that you do not bob around when pedalling. The geometry is modern without being extreme, so the bike feels natural whether you are climbing a fireroad or dropping into a technical descent.
It is the kind of bike that makes you a better rider. The handling is predictable and forgiving, which means you can push your limits without the bike punishing mistakes. On UK trail centre blues and reds, it is absolutely in its element. Take it to a black run and it will cope, but that is where the Enduro starts to make more sense.
Trail riders who want one bike that does everything. If you ride trail centres most weekends, mix in some natural trails, and occasionally enter an enduro event, the Stumpjumper covers all of it. It is also an excellent first full suspension mountain bike for riders stepping up from a hardtail.
The 2021 redesign brought the current geometry and SWAT storage. These bikes are excellent buys on the used market and prices have settled well. The 2018 to 2020 generation is still a solid bike but the geometry feels slightly dated compared to current standards. For the best value, look at a 2021 or 2022 Comp alloy or Expert carbon.
