Only here weve included a solid list of no-fuss components including a SRAM nx eagle 12-speed groupset for the everymans budget. Our design goal for the new Stumpjumper was simple—build the ultimate trail bike, one that feels telepathic. & it turns out that this feeling all comes down to stiffness. Think of it this way: when the frames telling your hands one thing & your feet another, your brain gets confused with the imbalance & the bike feels unstable. In order to fix this, we had to get to work on dialing-in the materials, shapes, & the layout. We started by creating our own mountain-specific stiffness test, & then we looked at the layout with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to see where we could get the biggest stiffness improvements. This led to a big discovery: The Large & X-Large frames needed more front-end stiffness while the Smalls & Mediums were just fine. We were able to create a frame design that was 20% more efficient. & in the end, this proved to be one of the lightest trail frames on the market, today. When designing the frame with the stiffness targets being a main goal, we developed a radical new sidearm design. The front-end & rear-end are connected at three points, & the sidearm helps keep all these points super stiff & connected, all while taking about 100 grams out of the rear-end. More explicitly, this minimizes frame flex when the rear suspension is active. We continued down the suspension path with a custom Rx Trail Tune on both the fork & rear shock. Suspension performance is highly dependent on frame, wheel, & rider size, so we use our Rx Tune to get each bike to land in the middle of the adjustment spectrum, & this gives you the biggest possible range to fine-tune your ride. Another focal point of the tune was matching the suspension characteristics between wheel sizes—we developed a specific Rx Tune for each platform. So, no matter what wheel size you prefer, youll get perfectly linear suspension. Steps were also taken to make this bike easy to live with. Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return, & we made room for up to a 3.0 tire. Youre also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want, since were using standard metric shocks. We revamped the SWAT™ box, too, making it sleeker, lighter, & with more volume. & customization is furthered with a Flip Chip that lets you to dial-in your Stumpy to your riding style. Switch it from High to Low & it drops your bottom bracket 6mm & slackens the head tube by half-a-degree. Little details also jump out to surprise you, like a newly designed ribbed chainstay protector that makes chain slap a thing of the past & nearly silences the drivetrain. Lastly, we seriously couldnt make cable routing any easier on carbon models. Full tubes can be found throughout the carbon frame, so all you have to do is push the cable & itll come out the other end. No more lazy loop, hidden stashes of magnets, pokey spokes, or pillows to cry in. For the build, you get a solid components package with a full SRAM GX1 Eagle drivetrain, SRAM Guide R disc brakes, Rock Shox Pike RC fork & a Deluxe RT3 rear shock (130/120mm of travel respectively), & Roval Traverse Carbon 29 wheels. The Stumpjumper STs asymmetrical, FACT 11m carbon fiber construction is lightweight, stiff, & ready for technical climbs & rowdy descents. Its built off of our 29 Trail Geometry, so its both capable & comfortable. & with SWAT™ integration in the down tube, a threaded BB, easy cable routing, & a brand new chain silencer, its ready for anything the trail, or you, throw at it. With three different compression adjustments—open/pedal/lock—incredible damping performance, & our Rx Trail Tune, the Rock Shox Deluxe RT3 perfectly complements the Stumpjumper. Rock Shoxs Pike is known for its trail performance, & the RC found here has stiff stanchions, a Charger damper, & plenty of sensitivity. ...

But if youre on the hunt for the perfect shred sled, you know a "trail bike" that you can take down dh trails, huck off blind drops or plow through the rowdiest of rock gardens, youll find yourself right at home on the stumpjumper Evo Pro 29. Who exactly is "evo" for? Evo is for the shredders, the gnarliest trail riders who live for gravity riding. Big drops, huge kickers, rocks, roots, whatever you throw at it the stumpjumper Evo can handle it. Evo uses the same style-specific sizing thats featured on the Demo. This sizing lets you choose the bike that fits the way you ride, not just by the seat tube measurement like with most bikes, & it narrows things down to two sizes s 2 & s 3. These are longer, lower, slacker & have seat tube & head tube heights that allow you to choose the size that best suits your style & terrain.

For the construction we utilized advanced aerospace composite optimization software to revolutionize the construction & layup of our new FACT 10r carbon. Its the most advanced layup schedule weve ever madethe shape schedule & material optimization allowed us to shed nearly 20% of the frame weightthe perfect recipe for your next hill climb pr. We started by further improving our rider-first engineered technology to ensure that the new Tarmac is stiff & compliant in exactly the right places all while shedding some serious weight. With this revamp we also updated the geometrybasing it on countless retl data points & professional rider input. This enabled us to develop a performance road geometry that perfects the combination of a responsive front-end & short wheelbase delivering instantaneous response & optimal power transfer. & while stiffness aids in the aforementioned compliance must also be utilized for an optimal ride quality. Thats why we designed a seatpost that builds compliance into the upper 120mm where clamping doesnt happen dropped the seatstays & altered the seat tube shape. We also added tyre clearance up to 30mm which translates to a 28mm turbo cotton on a Roval SLX 24 rim. This allows lower pressures for decreased rolling resistance increased traction & more comfort. Altogether these additions still have the Tarmac riding like a true race-machine but they just take a bit of the sting out of those road imperfections. Youll thank us on your next long ride. & while this is all great we know that aerodynamics are the most important thing we can do to make you faster. Both our bora-hansgrohe & quick-step floors Pro tour riders after all are demanding aero improvements on every bike. With this the aero goal was to discover where we could essentially "add aero for free" by not taking anything away from the hallmarks of the Tarmac design. During the six-month iterative process three areas were discovered where we could do thisa new fork shape dropped seatstays with aero tubes & a d-shaped seatpost & seat tube. The result? A bike thats Approx. 45 seconds faster over 40km compared to other lightweight bikes in the same category.
