Cannondale Trigger vs Specialized Stumpjumper

[xamnam]

Hi

 

I am looking at getting an Enduro/freeride bike.

 

Shortlisted between the Trigger and the Stumpjumper.

 

Do anyone have feedback on the pro and cons of these two bikes.

 

Also keen on any other reconditions.

 

Thanks

2016 stumpies have redesigned front triangle; run sram 1x11; wide (30mm) rims; swat box on downtube; come in 29er and 650b; redesigned FSR rear sus with shorter chainstays & no more seatstay bridge...to fit fat tackies; AND they also come in PLUS / 6fattie. 

 

Had a short session on a 29er at modders during a test day and it's an awesome bike but hardly tested by anything at modderfontein.  Also rode a 6fattie and it's a BLAST.

 

Preliminary online reviews have been highly favourable.

 

For the hardcore/downhill/technical stuff, also check out the spez enduro.

For All Mountain Enduro riding... Hmmmm will either be burly enough? Maybe 5he Spaz :-)

Why not go Local and try a Pyga...my OneTwenty is arriving soon but the OneForty Pascoe will suite you amazingly for that style of riding...which incidentally is what I like too...but chose the OneTwenty as my Spaz Enduro is somewhat overkill and the climbing capabilities are limited... So wanted something a little more versatile.

don't ask the internet about a purchase as pricey as this.

 

 

go ride both (in the exact size and spec you want) and get the one you prefer.
