With the revision, the "Stumpjumper" was also given more suspension travel. The fork, which was specially developed by Specialized and can be lowered from 140 to 115 millimetres, is a record-breaking lightweight at 1602 grams. Both the fork and the rear shock are equipped with the well-known Brain technology, which automatically locks the suspension as soon as the ground no longer exerts any force. This technology has also been improved and should now react even faster.

The additional suspension travel, together with the new lower bottom bracket, makes the "Stumpjumper" a real trail bike. According to Specialized, the bike rides like a cross-country bike uphill and almost like an enduro bike downhill thanks to its low weight of just 10.7 kilograms and the new geometry. Apart from the crankset, the "Stumpjumper is equipped with the new XX components from Sram, which is one of the reasons why the bike has not become heavier despite having more suspension travel.
