Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Elite 650b Mountain Bike 2016 - Full Suspension MTB
The trail eating Stumpjumper FSR Elite for 2016. This time with a brand new geometry for the new 27.5” wheel size and improved performance. Perfect for tearing up your local trail centre, the Stumpy can handle the most demanding technical trails.
Built from the ground up for 650b wheels, the head angle is slacker, with super short chainstays and 150mm of fork travel.
New frame for 2016
The frame is a durable, lightweight and stiff M5 alloy construction for nimble handling and has been built to cater for the new 650b wheel size. A slacker 67 degree head angle (68 degree in 2015) provides stability at speed.
Short 420mm chainstays ensure the rear is nimble and the low bottom bracket height has been maintained for better handling in the corners. This dialled geometry balances uphill efficiency with downhill stability whilst being light and energetic.
Internal cable routing protects your cables from damage and requires less maintenance over time. It also keeps the frame aesthetic clean. A 12mm bolt through rear axle provides a stiffer rear end, and a 15mm axle on the fork makes for precision steering control.
The IRcc 125mm (100mm size small) command dropper post can be adjusted on the fly. You can set the right saddle height for the section of trail that you’re riding.
RockShox Pike
Specialized’s FSR Elite comes with a RockShox Pike RC fork which is stiff, lightweight and plush. Ideal for taking on small and big hits. It’s one of the best performing forks on the market - especially at this price point.
Fox Factory Shock
The Factory version of the FOX CTD shock is the same shock found on the Expert Carbon and S-works Stumpy. A boost valve for improved performance when the trails get rowdy is a definite plus, as is the Kashima coating for a slicker feel...and better durability.
FSR
The ‘FSR’ part of this bike’s name stands for the rear suspension system. This 4 bar linkage with a second pivot on the chainstay near the rear axle is one of the most effective suspension systems on an MTB. It allows the rear wheel to move on a linear path so chain tension isn’t affected and you don’t get pedal kickback or bob. This is ideal for climbing and descending.
Fully sealed cartridge bearings on all pivot points are smooth and easy to service. 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.
SRAM 1x11
The high quality frame and suspension system is matched with optimised spec. SRAM’s X1 1x11 speed drivetrain offers a wide gear range in a lightweight, simple and ultra reliable package. It’s good to see such a setup on a full-suss MTB at this price point.
Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes offer great modulation and are extremely reliable. Braking power is impressive.
Roval Traverse wheels with a 29mm rim width are ready for aggressive trail riding on technical sections. You get a full Roval Traverse wheelset including hubs. They’re tubeless ready for a smoother, faster and easier ride - and no pinch flats.
The Stumpjumper FSR Elite (650b) is a powerful long travel trail bike, ready to carve up a trail centre.
