Very true!

I would think a Vivid with HBO would be better than the Genie. Two separately tuned circuits. I think the Genie is sick, but frankly it just seems like a cheaper, simpler way to get bottom out protection with less weight and complexity than HBO. This will appeal to more Stumpjumper fans than Evo fans. New Enduro will be out soon after enduro season ends and prospective Evo buyers will be enticed by the bigger bike while the Stumpjumper (non-Evo) fans will be glad the bike is this capable with the lighter weight of the Genie. And people who like to use the bike for everything, still can.

I think the new Enduro will be enticing for EVO owners that have maxed their EVO out. I'm running mixed wheel, WRP yoke, Cascade link, Medium + shim tune w/ 1.0 spacer, Fox 38 w/ E-Tuned, and 5DEV 155mm cranks. It's definitely capable. I'm hoping Specialized amps up the Enduro with the adjustability and modification/ aftermarket that the EVO has. To me the EVO is Trail/Enduro. Hopefully they make the Enduro to be Enduro/Downhill adjustable.

Thanks for this comparison! I would be stoked to hear your thoughts about the new Genie shock for this bike. How would you describe the difference between it and the one you are currently riding? Also, I saw some builds with the Vivid shock, which also looks pretty interesting. What do you think about that?

That was a cool overview. Between very competitive race results and the cool ambassador and general scene content you provide as a fan I’m stoked! I hope Specialized appreciate all the effort too!!! I may have missed it but I assume you are running 160mm fork in the Stumpjumper 15? I’ve always thought a short travel and long travel bike are a good quiver (if not needed) but more and more short travel bikes are getting increasingly capable and long travel bikes more efficient.

Loved this format of bike analysis and setup Chuck! Obviously youre going to be a bit biased but i'm sure the new stumpy shreds. Can you notice an obvious difference in the way the new XL (linear) air can rides compared to the standard can? Where do you feel its benefits the most? Last question, might be more for you mechanic, but how intuitive and effective is that new Motion Instruments DAQ system?? Would you recommend it to a weekend warrior who loves to always be searching for optimal setups in their suspension?? Thanks for the sick content and stoked on the season your having! Finish strong my dude!! CHEERS!

I could definetley notice a difference between the XL and the Linear or Progressive Can. XL can felt good but was a bit less supportive on repetitive hits at race pace

Hey there, I'm curious about your bike setup. How much PSI do you run in your front and rear tires? Also, what's your air pressure in the shock and fork? Lastly, what rebound settings do you use? Thanks!

What pedals are you running?

What your opinion between the linear and progressive air can ? ( not the XL) ,thanks

Out of curiosity, do you remove a volume spacer(s) from the progressive air can compared to what you have in the linear air can? I found after getting the same sag with higher pressure on the megneg, I had to balance the feel of the larger negative chamber with a larger positive chamber (less positive volume spacers). Might be something to try if you haven't yet

@Chazmaztv

Well he likes the linear air can version of his shock, and the speci shock is even more linear than that. He says in the video he can accept the bottom out on the linear because it’s overall smoother. The genie will give the feel he likes without the bottom out! I know this is deduction and not hard data but the concepts are there and I haven’t talked to anyone who has tried the genie and not LOVED it

@brian6speed

20 күн бұрын

the 3.1 just gives more range for light and heavy riders.

From a racer's perspective, I'm surprised you'd find a preference for the Stumpy 15 vs. the current EVO model, especially if you are not able (because of sponsorship) to use the Genie shock. You're basically "giving away" a little bit of travel, while also running significantly less leverage rate with similar ending rate (2.49) between the two. If you aren't going to use a larger volume shock, you're presumably giving up quite a bit of small/midsize bump sensitivity and traction as the Stumpy 15 has way lower leverage throughout all of travel. The 15 was basically built specifically for that Fox Genie shock, or a large volume shock with HBO.

@Chazmaztv

21 күн бұрын

Very interesting perspective, I thought similar to you when looking at the curves but when I started riding it I was super impressed with the performance under a normal shock and actually preferred the linear air can on the SDLX over both the Vivid and the new XL SDLX can. Don't ask me why just preferred the feeling. Also worth noting my riding style is quite unique so that could be why I'm enjoying the normal SDLX

@@brian6speed Perhaps, but the new stumpy has a very different leverage ratio curve than what Specialized and lots of other bike companies will engineer into their frames. This was said to be done specifically because the Genie shock was well suited to a much lower leverage ratio for the first 60-70% of travel than most bikes...

Enduro really is more of big mountain or Whistler park bike, too long in 29” setup although somewhat better with mullet link. Much more suitable for flat out straight tracks. SJ evo and I guess new SJ15 are much better bikes in tighter tracks and steep tight dropping corners as they are much more agile, also I am assuming the 29er is generally better rolling and pedaling for most of the enduro circuit so the stumpy is much better suited to this type of racing. Charlie also mentioned he liked the flex characteristics of the small fork in a previous video

Everyone knows the Evo was the bad boy. The brawler. The mountain crusher. Destroyer of worlds. Now we get “meh”. Sorry Fuel EX is cooler now.

Camera should show the bike and how it moves during the ride, not the top of the helmet
