43 years after the original launched in 1981, the 15th iteration of the iconic Specialized Stumpjumper has been revealed. The new range features five models (that includes an Ohlins Coil version), plus an S-Works frameset and shock. The more capable Stumpjumper EVO has been axed, but the standard full-suspension MTB gets a boost in travel from 140/130mm (front/rear) to 150/145mm – except for the size S1 which is 140/140mm.
As well as the change in suspension travel, the other headline news for the 2025 Stumpy is Specialized's new GENIE tech. This uses a Ride Dynamics modded Fox Factory Float shock on the S-Works, Pro, Expert and Comp models to give "16.3 percent better bump force management and 39 percent fewer severe bottom-outs compared to a standard air-sprung shock" according to Specialized.
