Strengths:
Pretty much all of it. It rides quick, very little flex form my 230lbs frame. Love the "on the fly" rear shock adjustment. Awesome components.
Weaknesses:
Bars (Ritchie Carbon Rizer) are way too wide. A S.O.B. to remove the seat post Unable to replace the hanger. The seat is awful The rear shock air pressure is done in metric - but no where will it say so. - so make sure you have a shock pump that reads both.

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR
Bike Setup:
So far the only change I have made is replace the Avid Carbon's for Shimanon XT-755 (4 piston)- much better modulation.
Bottom Line:
I was skeptical on this bike. After 2 rides, I love it. It seems to accelerate much faster than my Specialized. It took a little getting used to the SRAM X-0 shifters, but love them now. It can be front-end light when you dial up the Fox Talus to full and start doing hills. To be able to adjust the the rear shock form full float, med-float and then to lock out is awesome. A feature you will never know you need, till you try it once. Absolutely a fantastic bike all-round, just have to wait and see if it can stand the test of time and how good Scott is about supporting their products.
