2024 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert T-Type Mountain Bike

The 2024 Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Expert T-Type is an aggressive trail and enduro machine with a FACT 11m carbon frame, 150mm of rear travel, and adjustable geometry that lets you tune how it handles. A burly FOX suspension package and wireless electronic shifting make it feel eager on the climbs and unshakably confident when the trail points down. Point it at something steep and technical and it just wants to go faster.

Why we like it:

The adjustable geometry means you can flip the bike between a steeper, livelier trail setup and a slacker, more stable descending stance to match your local terrain.

Who it's for:

This one suits aggressive trail and enduro riders who session steep, chunky descents and want a bike that can be dialed in to their trails.

Highlights:

Suspension leads the story here, with a FOX FLOAT 36 Performance Elite 160mm fork up front and a FOX FLOAT X2 Performance Elite shock controlling 150mm of rear travel. The frame is FACT 11m carbon with adjustable geometry, and the drivetrain is a wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type setup with 12 speeds. SRAM Code four-piston hydraulic disc brakes handle the stopping on long, steep descents.

Things to consider:

With 160mm up front and slack, adjustable geometry, this is a bike built to descend hard and fast. Riders who spend most of their time on mellow, rolling singletrack may find it more capability than they need, where a lighter short-travel trail bike would be easier to pedal all day.
