kwsmithphoto Date Reviewed: May 5, 2013 Strengths: Bike shown above is an older model, see http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/sjfsr/stumpjumperfsrcomp29 for the current spec and pricing ($3000 MSRP). Weaknesses: Tires don't grip very well but they roll well, and the wheels and rims are all tubeless ready. Flexy front fork, grabby brakes at low speeds. Rear suspension could be a little more active. Bottom Line:

Steve Date Reviewed: February 6, 2013 Strengths: This bike has a super sturdy and beefy feel. Downhill you'll go through the bumps like a hot knife through butter~almost : ) I really like the sram shifters and cranks~so the powertrain is really good. Also some of these seem to come with the rockshox, but mine came with the Fox Forks thankfully which do a great job. Weaknesses: Front brake noise issues are pretty bad~On the first few rides I had to deal with this turkey gobbling sound. Some 100 grit sandpaper on the pads and the front rotor seems to have solved it. The saddle leaves much to be desired. Overall the bike rides heavy, but after a few rides you adjust and will be liking the bike more. Bottom Line:

Rockhead Date Reviewed: August 29, 2012 Strengths: Comfortably nimble decender and a fantastic climber. I am a larde-ass at 215lbs and this bike feels great. I can ride technical trails for 2 hours and my back feels great at the end. The 29er wheels roll over the worst root sections and rock gardens. Weaknesses: Seat is horrible; took 20+rides to get used to it; I had to use my old seat for several first rides. The 33 tooth big ring is too small; I swapped it for a 36 tooth and that is much better. I was out pedalling my gears at 33kph and now I can go to 46kph and still pedal. Bottom Line:

a All Mountain Rider Date Reviewed: May 29, 2012 Strengths: Mine is a 2006 model. design style, curved top tube allows for increased "family jewels" to top tube height. affordability, flexible platform and value, active suspension under braking and pedaling Weaknesses: the FSR design has the rear pivot on the chainstay rather than the seat stay which drastically changes how the wheel reacts to pedaling forces. Although better than a standard 4-bar link, the suspension still suffers from pedal bob. The Fox triad Propedal does a decent job of dampening it out, but never completely unless you have it on lockout. Even then, you still get it. This is why they had to design a shock around the suspension design. This is a very goodt suspension, but it has been superseded by other designs within the last 10 years. Another problem I noticed, despite adjustments on the shock (rear), I got a lot of jitter on the trail and could never eliminate it completely. Perhaps a Pushed shock would have made some difference, but to me, it should be good out of the factory.

Jeff in San Diego Date Reviewed: May 3, 2012 Strengths: Great all rounder. Climbs, descents and technical sections are more than capable. I bought the bike new at the end of 2004. Got a great deal on an brand new demo bike that had been sitting in the box all year, size is XL (which was the largest at the time). Came with capable component group and top of the line XTR rear derailleur, which is still shifting crisp and smooth as day one. Bike looks nice, has durable paint and can take a beating. Weaknesses: Rear shock and hinge location make it a dirt magnet. Had to replace the rear shock bushing a couple times now. Bottom Line:
