Pyga Stage Max or Specialized Stumpjumper

[RockCoach]

Call the Trailhead.... they had a StageMax medium 2 days ago...

It was a loan frame from Pyga we built for a customer to rides W2W.

On its first test ride I couldn't keep up with him on the flats.

He must have killed you on the uphills....

I had an opportunity to ride a 2016 Camber at Red Barn and the Pyga Stage Max at Hakahana. Both great bikes and superb handling on downhills. The Pyga felt better on the climbs, but it could have been the terrain - Red Barn doesn't really have those kind of climbs.

Once I have ridden both, I was as confused as ever. Away from the "feel" of the bikes, I made my decision based on peripheral criteria - I have made a lot of friends at Centurion Cyclery, ride with them, have my bikes serviced there, and price - for what I want. So, bought the Camber Comp Carbon today. It is being setup now, and then I am off to do the Magalies Trail tour this weekend on it. Can't wait!
