Specialized Stumpjumper
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
