2012 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon EVO 10

Specialized is upping the aggressive trail bike game as they implement their EVO characteristics through more of the Stumpjumper FSR line. Most exciting is the introduction of the Carbon Stumpy EVO...a trail bike that gets 150mm of rear travel with all the features a downhiller or freerider could want using a carbon main triangle. In addition to the carbon model, a 29er Stumpjumper EVO enters the line-up, opening the doors for those who want trail-ripping performance on bigger wheels. Finally, the Stumpjumper FSR Comp EVO is a solid complete bike at a reasonable weight and price point for those on a budget. It's a good time to be a trail rider!

The size Large rig tips the scales at 28.6 pounds, which is extremely trail-worthy.
