Rob K Posted January 27, 2021 Share Just read every post in the hope of understanding why I can't find a new Stumpjumper - never mind AXS !!! Two bikes mentioned as similar were the Transition Spur - who just told me they only bring in on special order and the YT which i still have to research. How does one purchase a bike then - just on reviews - surely not??? DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does one purchase a bike then - just on reviews - surely not??? Its frustrating to say the least. I've wanted either a Spur or Evil following, and there's no indication when we'll ever get stock. You also better hope the reviews are spot on, because there's no way to demo any bikes now either. Rob K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefmeister Posted January 27, 2021 Share The rest of the stumpjumper range is landing late Feb, early March. This was the answer two weeks ago when I was in the market.Does that include the evo by any chance? I swore I was never getting another Spez again, but the evo just ticks so many boxes.

Also you won't be able to pedal stumpjumper uphill as well as the Evo"Me: "but I want a 140mm trail bike as well as my marathon bike"Salesman: "you want an Epic Evo" My purchase December 2020: Evil the Following Now I realise the Evo is a fantastic "one bike to rule them all" but I like my different bikes for different trails.I really wanted to buy a Stumpjumper, they just wouldn't sell one to me!

You turn your back to them walk to the manager and say 'I want to buy a stumpjumper , your sales man only want to sell me an epic evo which I don't want. I'm walking out with a stumpjumper today or simply walking out, so which models can you show me?' . I'm 95% sure I can predict how that exchange would go stefmeister 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
