Description:XC Trail
THE BEST GETS BETTER. With an all-new chassis design that is lighter, more efficient, features a lower stand-over height and the same incredible handling, the completely redesigned Stumpjumper FSR® continues to be best bike for the trails most of us ride, most of the time.
Inside Tech
The completely redesigned Stumjumper FSR chassis features an ultra-refined and focused design, one that's been completely integrated with critical suspension components. The top-tube of the new Stumpjumper FSR sweeps down to ensure maximum standover height and boost overall rigidity.

Date Reviewed: July 21, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | Squamish, BC - powerlines | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Price Paid: |
$10500.00 | | Purchased At: | HotWheelz, Brussels | | Strengths: | Incredibly light; solid, precise ride; miraculous Brain/Shock technology that REALLY WORKS!! | | Weaknesses: | Never succeeded in mounting tubeless tires on the Roval Tubeless rims. Just would not hold air unless I used a compressor....which I don't usually bring with me on a ride. But the stock tubed tires (The Captain) and Roval wheels are lighter than tubeless anyway... | | Similar Products Used: | Scott Ransom 10, Scott Genius RC 20 | | Bike Setup: | Factory Kit, XO carbon shifter, XO rear mec, XTR cranks and front mec, Magura Marta SL carbon levers and disk brakes 203 front, 185 rear, Specialized shocks front and rear. | | Bottom Line: | You don't want to buy one of these in the Eurozone unless you really, really want one and can afford it. With the exchange rate, they are about 700 EUR cheaper in the UK and about $3.500 cheaper in the US.
This bike is perfect for XC racing or for the demanding weekend rider.
But this is just an incredible ride! I can climb anything and come down anything. The solid, precise feel of the ride give lot's of confidence. The Brain system works as advertised. On pavement I can climb standing with ZERO bob from either the rear or the FRONT shock. They just lock right out. Hit the dirt and the suspension is active again. You can dial in as much firmness as you like.
You want a bike that looks right next to the Aston in the garage? Get this! | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

Date Reviewed: May 24, 2008 | | Favoriate Trail: | 244/Yogi | | Duration Product Used: | 3 months | | Purchased At: | Pedal Power Taradale | | Strengths: | The Future shock fork is plush and smooth throughout it travel, simple to set up and reliable, far better than any of my previous Fox Talas or Nixon forks
This generation of the of the brain shock is also the best so far of the the four genrations i have used, simple to set up and reliable
The Roval Controle wheelset has also proven to be strong, reliable and maintenance free, i have set them up as tubeless this has also been very reliable
Overall light weight of the bike is great | | Weaknesses: | The Captain Tires that it came with ended up with slashed sidewalls after a couple of rides, probably not suited to the rocky terrain, Have replaced them with Continental Verticals, no issues since | | Similar Products Used: | 05 Stumpy Comp,06 Stumpy Pro,07 Stumpy Pro,07 Stumpy SWorks | | Bike Setup: | Standard, XTR drivetrain and Front D,Sram X0 shifters and Rear D, Magura Marta SL brakes, Thompson seatpost and stem, Roval wheelset set up tubeless with Vertical tires, Specialized front and rear suspension, carbon bars and frame | | Bottom Line: | Great bike for trail riding, all day epics or racing, climbs well, has proven to be fast, reliable and maintenance free apart from the normal everyday stuff
Certainly the best Stumpjumper i have had, it doesnt come cheap but is fitted with plenty of quality components that last.
If you can afford it buy one | | Value Rating:Overall Rating: |
