Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Interesingly Charlie Murray was riding and winning EDR/EWS on Stumpjumper (not Enduro). he prefers more manoeuvrable bike.
  • if it’s like an original rockhopper or stumpjumper, worth it for the nostalgia.
  • A do-it-all bike like a Stumpjumper will do pretty much anything well in Texas, including taking the occasional trip out to Spider Mountain.
  • Stumpjumpers can be found cheap if you want rear suspension
  • The Stumpy (even with all its travel) is going to ride better than your Status on mellow terrain... Stumpies make outstanding all around bikes.

Cons

  • The stumpy is heavy(37 pounds) and rides like a monster truck as in it's stable and has great traction. Not sure what trails you ride but I ride Carter and Alafia and it can be cumbersome on some of the tight and techy climbs/trails.
  • The Stumpy is sadly very heavy in alloy, but... Given the sales, you may enjoy the carbon options.
  • Stumpjumper is Specialized's trail bike line. Not really meant for road riding.
  • they seem to be trying to sell them all off now that the Stumpjumper 15 has replaced the Stumpjumper and Stumpjumper Evo.

Stump jumper is also well regarded as a very fun bike, I'd be super keen to check it out.

I once rode a packed up Stumpjumper from Amsterdam to Nice during the summer. Just changed out the tires with Kevlar slicks and had zero issues.

Also worth looking at a Stumpjumper or Cannondale Habit 4.

I’m preferential to stumpy geo. ... The specialized frame has a more modern frame geometry as it is a bit longer and slacker, for that reason alone I think its a better bike. ... The Stumpy has a better fork
