A Day on Specialized EVO Bikes

Matt Hunter and Matt Ryan shred their Specialized Enduro Expert EVO and Stumpjumper Expert EVO on some sloppy, ripping trails in British Columbia.

Slacker and lower angles, ISCG tabs and meatier tires make the EVO models the choice of riders who earn their way to the top but want to make the most out of their descents.  Come by any of Rock N' Road Cyclery's 4 locations in Orange County to see the EVO bikes up close.

What is All the Fuss About Specialized FSR? - Orange County's Rock N' Road Can Help Explain It

FSR Means Control, Efficiency, and Comfort

FSR separates the drive train and braking from the main pivot.  The patented approach provides a fully active and totally independent system.  The result is that  the rear suspension can compress and rebound without effecting other rider functions  (chain and brake forces).  The benefits are everything you could hope for.  You get increased control, efficiency and comfort with less fatigue.  100% of the torque you deliver to the chain moves the bike forward.  Nothing is lost to up and down motions.

Pick the trail your going to ride and with a bit of inspection we might all agree on the optimum bike for that degree of uphill and downhill, the size and nature of the bumps along the way, and the ground cover in-between the bumps. Throw in whether your goal is to simply have a great day in the sun, rain, or snow or if it is to set a new record for this course, and the complications start to mount.

Specialized says that this is what they had in mind with the Stumpjumper FSR line of mountain bikes. They knew you wouldn't be changing bikes depending on the ecosystem, so they built a bike that will change to fit circumstances on the ground.

Uphill or down, the 2010 Stumpjumper FSR combines 28 years of experience riding and engineering trail bikes, then testing and riding again. This year's lineup includes advanced FACT IS carbon, independent FSR suspension, a proprietary S14OTA fork, and bump-leveling Brain technology. The 2010 Stumpjumper FSR stands alone as the lightest, most capable XC trail bike the folks at Specialized have ever created.
