Bike Hub Features Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Next up in our long term test fleet is the Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon 6Fattie. Another absolute stunner, this bike had us taking turns trying to pop a wheelie in the car park. We'll be treating the bike as one of our own for the year: documenting the journey, and ultimately providing an in-depth review like never before.Click here to view the article

stefmeister Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 This bike makes no sense at all.What part?Plus sized tires or the spec?

Matt Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 This bike makes no sense at all.I can tell you that from a first ride on it the smile on my face (and few PRs smashed) were all that mattered. It's a whole lot of fun! That said it is early days and over the course of the long term test we'll get a very good idea of whether it makes sense or not. Or at least for whom it might make sense... We're excited to test out the feel and practicality of the 27.5+ vs a 29er boost wheel set on the same platform. Although this does come standard with the Fatties, it can accomodate a 29" boost wheelset. Wil6 and Sportsworld.co.za 2

Ratty Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Yep, plus sized tires on a long travel bike The grip you get with the fattie tyres is amazing giving you lots more confidence on the technical trails. Andrew_Smith and Matt 2
Flippa Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I don't understand why, on a "plus" bike, Spez have specced those measly, narrow, 29mm width rims to pair with the 3.0" tyre? If the Spez Fuse 6Fattie can get WTB Scrapers, why shouldn't this? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem and Grease_Monkey 2

Merely stated it makes no sense to me. Please explain to me why a long travel bike needs this type of tires? Will we be seeing it at the Downhill worlds soon if its that great?

Flippa Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 what does a set of fattie tyres cost? About R1200 a pop. Meezo 1
