Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Long-Term Review 👀

Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Long-Term Review 👀

The 15th generation of the @iamspecialized_mtb Stumpjumper impressed us with its refined feel, multiple points of adjustment, and advanced suspension technology 🔥 Consolidated into a single 145mm family, the updated all-mountain platform aims to be the ultimate quiver-killer 🏹

Head on over to the home page to read our long-term thoughts and impressions 🤳

The redesigned @ridefoxbike 36 and 36 SL have arrived 👀

The biggest update to the long-standing 36 fork is the all-new Float Glidecore air spring, which features a floating air core that sits on a set of elastomer rings and seperates the stanchion from the air shaft to reduce friction and maintain smooth travel under side loads. The chassis has been redesigned to increase torsional stiffness and reduce weight, and there is now an additional 30mm of bushing overlap to further increase the stiffness and reduce friction. The internal air bypass channels have also been relocated further inboard on the lower legs to help improve small bump sensitivity, and the air spring top cap now uses a standard cassette tool 🔧

The 36 SL is the lightweight version of the fork and is aimed at trail bikes, claiming to be 20% stiffer compared to the Fox 34, which they achieved through an optimized crown and arch design. It also benefits from the new Float Glidecore air spring, updated internal bypass channels, and updated top cap.

The 36 is available in 140mm-160mm travel options, 27.5” or 29” wheels, and 200mm through 230mm rotor sizes, ranging in price from $749 to $1,199. It is available with Fox’s Grip, SL, X, or X2 dampers.
The 36 SL is available with 120mm-140mm travel options, is designed exclusively for 29” wheels, and supports 180mm through 203mm rotor sizes. It’s priced from $699 to $1,149 and is available with Fox’s Grip SL, X, or X2 dampers.

#waybackwednesday to Lisa Sher and Marla Streb taking on the Reebok Eliminator race at Mammoth Mountain back in 1996 🔙🦣 Both Lisa and Marla were at the top of the sport in the 1990s and 2000s, but Marla would take the win in this showdown nearly 30 years ago 🏆 Who else wants the Eliminator races to make a return to the storied slopes of Mammoth Mountain?
