Stumpjumper 15 Comp - SRAM S-1000 AXS, FOX Performance

Stumpjumper 15 is engineered to eliminate every trade-off in the trail game. It delivers the bump-absorbing capability of a big bike while maintaining short-travel control, playfulness, and climbing efficiency. The bike offers extensive personalization options to tailor the ride to your specific preferences and riding style. The breakthrough innovation on Stumpjumper 15 is GENIE Shock Technology, a patent-pending air spring system that combines the feel and control of a coil spring with the progressive spring rate of an air spring. This technology delivers the best of both worlds—linear spring rate through the bump zone for control, paired with a progressive rate at the end of the stroke to prevent bottom-outs. GENIE provides 16.3% better bump force management than traditional air springs, allowing the 145mm travel Stumpjumper 15 to absorb impacts comparable to a 170mm travel enduro bike. Traction performance is significantly enhanced with GENIE technology, delivering 57% better traction than standard air-sprung shocks by maintaining supple, coil-like performance that keeps the wheel in contact with the ground longer. The system also reduces bottom-outs by 39% compared to standard air springs through its two-stage rising rate in the final 30% of the stroke. The geometry is carefully honed to deliver big bike capability when needed, nimble handling in tight sections, and efficient climbing. A generous cockpit centers you on the bike for optimized traction and corner control, while the low bottom bracket, slack head tube angle, and optimized fork offset maintain stability in rough terrain. Stumpjumper 15 features six distinct geometry settings for unmatched personalization. Head angle and bottom bracket height can be fine-tuned for stability or clearance. You can also choose between big wheels front and rear or mix 27.5" rear with 29" front for a more responsive and playful ride, with geometry remaining unaffected by wheel choice. SWAT 4.0 internal downtube storage elevates on-bike carrying capacity with a smooth-operating, weather-resistant, flush-mounted system. The bike is built with a lightweight FACT 11m carbon chassis and rear-end, paired with robust Specialized alloy wheels featuring sealed cartridge bearings. The FOX FLOAT 36 Rhythm fork with GRIP damper handles the chunkiest trails, while SRAM Eagle T-Type AXS drivetrain provides smooth and precise shifting. SRAM Maven Bronze 4-piston brakes deliver powerful stopping power, and an X-Fusion Manic dropper post offers trustworthy adjustability. Specialized backs this bike with a lifetime, no-questions-asked replacement of suspension pivot bearings to the original owner, ensuring years of reliable trail performance.
