Strengths:    Climbing, downhill, smooth, looks ( seriously, it's a sick looking bike)

Weaknesses:    None so far.

Bottom Line:   
This bike climbs like a beast. Then hit the dropper post when you're at the top to bomb down hill. Living in Colorado, you have to climb first to enjoy the downhill. This bike can handle it all.

Strengths:    Descending!!!!! Handling, bump absorption, All out Fun!
I wouldn't exactly say climbing is awesome but I'm coming from a carbon hardtail 26er. Compared to other trail bikes I have ridden I would say that the climbing is great.

Weaknesses:    None

Bottom Line:   
I am 5'11" about 170lbs and I purchased the large frame. I like the way this size feels to me. The medium seems a little to cramped and so the large fits perfect. Coming from a hardtail 26er, this bike took about 5 rides to get used too. I used to ride a trail bike years ago (26er) and missed the fun that comes from having some travel to play with. I like hitting whatever jumps come my way and playing on the trail. Every bump, log, rock becomes something to get air off of and I love it. Raleigh, NC doesn't really justify this kind of travel but I try and make it out to the Smoky's whenever possible (Asheville, NC area) and this bike is so much fun out there. I plan on moving west in about a year or so and from riding trails in Sedona, Flagstaff, and Phoenix I purchased this bike with that in mind. Moab will not be far either and I cannot wait to get out there.
This bike is amazing! I might consider putting some riser bars on it but that's about it.

Strengths:    This bike is stupid fast and nimble when pointed down hill! It climbs as well as I do, it's not really my strong point and is very flickable in the air when jumbing. I came off a Giant Talon 0 that I wasted in 5 months because i was doing things on it that it wasnt made for like 6 foot drops and airing it out a little to much. But this bike looks to be built 10 time tougher and has handled everything that i have thrown at it so far with no problems. The suspension is very plush but can handle big hits once you dial in your pressure and settings.

Weaknesses:    None so far

Bottom Line:   
This bike makes it to easy but in a good way and is a blast to ride. I'm 5'11 and I bought a med and love the way it fits me. I do prefer smaller frames and the large just seemed a little to long for me in the cockpit. If your looking for a bike to shred down hills and air out but also ride single track and pretty much anything else this is your bike.

Strengths:    Handling, stability, ground clearance, rolling and stopping power, gearing, traction.

Weaknesses:    Its excellent handing forgives many of my riding mistakes and makes me learn less handling & balancing skills compared to my lightweight 26er XC bike (Specialized XC FSR Expert).

Bottom Line:   
I rode an excellent Specialized XC FSR 26er for 4 years before purchasing this Stumpjumper FSR EVO 29, my first 29er. I immediately felt the stiffness and stability of a 29er trail bike compared to my XC 26er. This bike gave me a lot of confidence in descends and the bigger wheels lift me over many more obstacles in technical climbs. The heavier weight does slow me down a little in smoother climbs but that is very a small sacrifice.
In conclusion, it elevates my skills into the next level. Although I am slightly worried that I won't learn as many skills as with a less capable bike because it is very forgiving with rider errors.
I am nearly 6' tall and weight 200 pounds loaded and the size L is perfect for me.
