Specialized

S-Works Stumpjumper Frame

We have our list and tick off the necessities when shopping for the ultimate trail bike, and the S-Works Stumpjumper Frame checks off just about every box. Specialized redesigned the rear linkage from the ground up for refined uphill and downhill performance, and the lightest FACT 11m carbon frame starts us off nicely. Its blend of stiffness, lightness, and bump resistance adds some pep to the party, too. With 130mm of plush travel, we're eating up rough and rowdy terrain for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the Stumpjumper's S-Sizing geometry hits that sweet spot with lots of options for finding the most comfortable ride. To top it all off, Specialized's SWAT door leaves room in our frame for necessities like pumps and spare tubes. Bye-bye overloaded jersey pockets! The main difference between this S-Works frame and the non-S-Works version is that this frame boasts carbon linkage arms, saving some weight and providing a more reactive feel.
