2011 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR and S-Works Carbon

The 2011 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR models debuted at the end of June with retuned S140 fork (26″) with no Brain inertia valve. The Fox shock trades Pro Pedal settings for a shock that’s designed around pedaling when on, as well as multiple compression damping settings when turned off, In order to allow tuning of the shock's characteristics for descending more than climbing.




2011 Specialized Stumpjumper S-Works 29er Carbon

The S-Works Stumpjumper hardtails, like the Epic, get carbon-rimmed Roval Control SL wheels, along with the more modern 2×10 drivetrain. The mid- and high-end models have stiffer wheels due to Specialized’s updated 90mm travel Future Shock with dropouts. These wheels are compatible with Specialized and Rockshox forks, and they have a OS24 caps in order to make them compatible with Fox forks.

The S-Works carbon frames weigh in 100g less than the 2010 model, at 1,055g for the 29er and 920g for the 26″ model. Shaped seatstays combined with a slim 27.2mm seatpost provide vertical compliance for both models. The 2011 Stumpjumper FSR and S-Works Carbon are great additions to the Stumpjumper line.
