What’s the difference between Stumpjumper Pro and Expert?

A Float 34 Factory fork includes the Grip2 damper and the coveted Kashima coating and has high and low speed compression adjustments. The Pro also includes AXS electronic shift vs the Expert’s mechanical X01 shifting.

Pros

• Progressive Geometry
• One glance at the Stumpjumper Pro design, and it's evident Specialized has tapped into modern trail bike geometry - long, low, stable, yet sprightly when the situation demands.
• Sublime Suspension
• Equipped with the FOX FLOAT DPS Factory rear shock and FOX FLOAT 34 Factory fork, this Stumpy offers 130mm of plush and supportive travel, striking a balance of uphill efficiency and downhill capability.
• Carbon Frame Brilliance
• Constructed with Specialized’s FACT 11m carbon, the frame looks sleek but offers impressive stiffness and weight savings, all while maintaining durability.

Cons

• Pricey Proposition
• Specialized has packed a lot into the Stumpjumper Pro, and the price reflects this. It's a serious investment, which may deter some enthusiasts. Price: $8,200
• A Tad Conservative?
• For riders who lean more towards the aggressive side of trail riding or enduro, the Stumpjumper Pro, with its 130mm travel, might feel a tad conservative for the aspirations of this bike.

Our Bottom Line

The 2022 Specialized Stumpjumper Pro beautifully encapsulates what a modern trail bike should be - agile, responsive, and a joy to ride on a variety of trails. It's the kind of bike that beckons you to take the long route, explore that new trail, or push a little harder on your familiar stomping grounds.

For riders seeking a do-it-all trail bike that doesn’t compromise on performance, the Stumpjumper Pro is a top contender. It's a bike crafted with intention, loaded with top-tier features, and delivers a riding experience that will leave you grinning.
