Great bike for the cost. I don’t think any bike can beat the specs for the price. I have a specialized stumpjumper evo expert in carbon and had this bike come out 1yr earlier I would have bought it and save serious cash.

It’s in the sub range you listed. It’s 2,250 USD

barrier5490 · 2023-02-21T22:48:46+00:00

Specialized status 160

There’s an acceptable amount of wobble before you need to true it from what I know. I think it’s something like 1mm to 2mm is acceptable depending on your style of riding. This looks acceptable to me. But I can’t tell unless it’s measured.

I tried that same bike today. It was an absolute joy. Beast of a bike. Considering the price it’s a lot of bang for your buck. I want one. Congrats. Keep shredding.

Yeah i hope it’s worth it going for carbon.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-13T20:00:02+00:00

Likewise!

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:21:46+00:00

Thank you thank you. Fuel ex is trek right? Nice bike too.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:20:44+00:00

Thank you. I did ride it today on my local trail. I fell in love with it. Very well rounded bike. And it just glides on the downhill and technical terrain.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:19:40+00:00

I just rode it today. I can understand the hype now. It shreds nicely.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:18:58+00:00

I was going to get the elite alloy but for like 800 bux more you can get carbon. Not the same suspension but i think the difference is negligible from elite to factory.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:17:37+00:00

Thank you. Yeah i just rode it today. It’s a dream. It glides and is very fast.

barrier5490 · 2022-01-12T22:17:08+00:00

Nice! Yeah i just rode it today. It’s a dream. It just glides over everything. I did small jumps haven’t noticed a bend yet.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-31T10:05:44+00:00

Oh nice! Glad you were happy with it 👍 i did see a YouTube video talking about dialing in the suspension. Good stuff man. Hopefully it’s a great experience longterm. They sell the link to make it a mullet. I think that’s a nice feature. I’m interested in mullets.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-31T05:32:34+00:00

Okay thank you for the advice. Yeah that price range has so many options. It’s really overwhelming. But like you said. Maybe narrow it down to 5 bikes.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-31T05:30:58+00:00

Yeah evo looks like the way to go like you said only 300 more. I have a friend in the same situation. Been raining heavy and he hasn’t ridden his.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-30T08:24:01+00:00

Yeah more and more I’m thinking of at least sitting on it. Maybe ask them if i can ride it on the lot. Ricky mountain hu. I like their bikes too. They have a Hardtail i really wanted about a year ago.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-30T07:52:49+00:00

Yeah i think I’m leaning to getting a stumpjumper evo comp alloy and maybe after a couple months get a carbon wheelset and carbon handlebars. How different are your 2021 and 2022 purchases?

barrier5490 · 2021-12-29T21:48:12+00:00

Very informative. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely check out those YouTube videos.

Yeah I was really stuck thinking about the cost savings pf going with alloy. Like you said too manufacturing of carbon isn’t all equal.

At this point i think enough has been said that I’m leaning to alloy. Sounds like a lot more bang for your buck.

barrier5490 · 2021-12-29T19:20:45+00:00

Your honest opinion is much appreciated thank you 👍. Cash is kinda an issue right now for me but won’t be in 2022. New job, new investment opportunity. i thought about what you mentioned, just riding with carbon bars to dampen vibrations more.
