Yep, the Stumpy is so my better than anything I’ve ever ridden before. If you get one, take the time to dial the sag and damping clickers in to your weight and riding style. You will be rewarded with great suspension that works better the harder you ride it. Looking at the pics of your awesome trails, the Stumpy will eat them alive. This bike makes riding more fun! No regrets.
My bike is stock except for a 50mm rise handlebar, Oury grips and, as of today, a tubeless conversion.
Hope you get one. If you do, let us know what you think of it after a few rides.
