2012 Stumpjumper FSR Expert carbon Evo

Published by absadmin on July 17th, 2011 - in Bikes, News

You might have seen this in the press already, but I still wanted to share this bike as it is probably my favorite new 2012 bike from Specialized. This is the new Stumpjumper FSR Expert carbon Evo. 150mm of travel front and rear with a nice low bb and a revised 67 degree head angle. This should be a perfect trail slayer for our local trails. Better yet, Specialized is doing a Comp version as well for $1500 less, and if 150mm seems like to much travel, they still have the standard 140mm travel Comp level as well. In classic Specialized fashion, they are diversifying their bike lines as usual, which as confusing as it can be, leaves the end user with some great bike choices.

   Hi Chris et al…looking into the non-evo, “regular”, 2011 or 2012 (140mm) stumpy fsr. Desire no brain, large frame, glossy carbon comp frame, fox fork, xt components…realize 2011 is not speced this way…what about 2012? any info yet?Thanks. Jim Huyck, Aptos.

     Jim–Sorry, nothing like your desired bike is made, not even a frame. Specialized went big into 29ers this year, and their 26″ offerings in the SJ FSR line is actually smaller then in previous years. The 2011 SJ FSR Comp Carbon is the closest thing to what you are looking for, even if it is not exactly what your looking for. –Chris
