First Ride Review - Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Pro And The Tech That Makes It The Best Yet

Specialized may have ditched the Evo tag, and reduced the travel a smidge, but the 15th generation full-suspension Stumpjumper is more capable than ever. You still have all of the integrated geometry adjustments, but with the addition of Specialized’s proprietary Genie shock tech, the Stumpjumoer now has the suspension tuning capabilities to match.

We spent two days on Vancouver island getting to know the Stumpjumper 15 Pro Carbon and the team behind it. We talked with Steve Saletnik, the product manager, and Chance Ferro, the man behind the Genie shock tech, to find out what this new tech is all about. This is a long one, and it’s pretty tech heavy, but given the new shock technology we wanted to go deep on this one.

Also if you just want to know how the new Specialized Stumpjumper rides, the final third of the video is where Bike Test Editor Muldoon spills the beans. Spoiler alert! He liked it... a lot.
