Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp 650b Mountain Bike 2016 - Full Suspension MTB

The new 2016 Stumpjumper FSR Comp (650b) is a hard hitting trail mountain bike with 150mm of full suspension travel. Ideal for taking on trail centre loops, the Stumpy is at home on technical trails.

Frame

Since 1981 the iconic Stumpjumper has been constantly evolving to be one of the best trail bikes around. All new for 2016 is a geometry built for the new 650b wheel size. At the core of the Comp is an M5 alloy frame, the same found on the Elite model. This alloy is strong, light and stiff making for excellent trail riding qualities.

A slacker 67 degree head angle (68 degree on 2015 650b models) means you’re more stable at speed. 420mm chainstays create a nimble back-end and 150mm travel puts the Stumpy FSR Comp firmly at the long-travel end of trail bike world. The low bottom bracket height has been maintained to give you a low centre of gravity for better handling in the corners.

Full internal cable routing keeps the aesthetics clean whilst keeping your cables protected from damage. You’ll also have to do less maintenance on them. A 12mm bolt through rear axle provides a stiffer rear end, and a 15mm axle on the fork makes for precision steering control.

An IRcc 125mm (100mm on size small) command dropper post provides 12 different height settings which can be adjusted on the fly. You can optimise saddle height for the trail section that you’re riding.

Suspension

The RockShox revelation fork is very capable with easy adjustable rebound and compression damping - to make your life a little easier. This is matched to the rear Fox CTD Evolution shock also with adjustable rebound and compression damping.

Key to the Stumpjumper FSR Comp performance though is ‘FSR’. This is one of the most effective suspension systems on an MTB. Fully active, the suspension works independently from pedalling and braking forces.

A 4 bar linkage with a second pivot on the chainstay (close to the rear axle) allows the back wheel to move in a linear path. This means suspension doesn’t impact on chain tension and there is no pedal kickback or pedal induced bob. It’s the quality of this system that gives the FSR Comp its all round trail performance (climbing prowess and descending capability).

RX trail tune on the rear suss means that every shock has the volume, compression and rebound range tuned for each Stumpy. You don’t get this from every manufacturer.

Components

The quality frame and suspension is matched with performance spec. SRAM X9/X7 2x10 speed drivetrain comes with a great range of gears for taking on versatile terrain, and shifting performance is extremely reliable.

Shimano Deore hydraulic disc brakes give you all the braking power you’ll need, which you can rely on every time. Modulation is great too. The Stumpy Comp FSR spins on Roval rims with a 29mm rim width ideal for aggressive trail riding.

The 2016 Stumpjumper FSR Comp (650b) is a titan of the trail biking world. Optimised for the new 27.5” wheel size it’s in a class of its own.
