S-Works Stumpjumper EVO Frameset
The S-Works Stumpjumper EVO is not simply a trailbike. It's a lethal weapon for going all out on the most technical trails thanks to the new design, adjustable head angle, 150mm of travel on the rear wheel and S-sizing.
Setup with 29" front wheel and 27.5" rear wheel. It means all the traction and handling benefits of a 29er, and the agility of a 27.5" bike.
Suspension travel is useless without the right kinematics and we kept this in mind in the design of the Stumpjumper EVO. With what we've learned in developing the Enduro and over 1000 hours of field and lab testing, we've dramatically improved the ride and created the feeling of capability, efficiency and liveliness that everyone appreciates. We've increased anti-squat so the suspension resists bobbing better, and we've also improved shock absorption over sharp obstacles. Simply put, the Stumpjumper descends with complete control and ascends with agility.
The S-Sizing geometry of the Stumpjumper EVO is the most progressive. Long, low, relaxed, short offset fork, a steeper seat tube - they make you ride better. But the perfect geometry can be different for different bikers, which is why for the Stumpjumper EVO it is possible to adjust it to six different positions. Not only can you raise the bottom bracket by 10mm, you can also adjust the head angle by up to two degrees. Finally, if you like mullet, for the Stumpjumper EVO you can mount the 27.5" wheel on the rear in combination with the 29" front.
Rider-First Engineered™ technology is a size-specific approach in design to ensure the same riding characteristics for all sizes. So if you're not exactly a giant and you ride an S1, or if you need the long S6 instead, you'll tackle curves with the same confidence, with an equivalent balance of rigidity, all at the lightest possible weight.
In 2016 we introduced the SWAT™ compartment in the Stumpjumper frame, to store pumps or other items to repair a puncture.
