Does it devour bumps like a big bike? Checked. Short-travel control, pressure, and efficiency? Doubly checked. And how about a good dose of customization to make it perfect for the only rider that really matters: you? Checked, checked, checked.
GENIE shock technology combines playful, lively handling with bottomless DH feel.
Better traction than the "Bike of the Year" Stumpjumper EVO.
Six-position geometry adjustment, mixed wheel or 29", adjustable spring curve, and much more.
The Stumpjumper 15's greatest innovation is GENIE. This patent-pending pneumatic shock technology fulfills any rider's three wishes: the feel and control of a coil, better bottom-out prevention than a standard air shock, and an adjustable "platform" for playful feel.
GENIE combines the linear elasticity rate of a coil enhancing control in the "bump zone" with the progressive elasticity rate of an air spring at the end of travel to prevent bottoming out. Truly, it's the best of both worlds, coil and air, with greater adjustability. Say goodbye to compromises and hello to the future of riding: With 16.3% better bump force management than a traditional air shock, GENIE makes the Stumpy 15 ride like a bike with more travel. For example, the Stumpjumper 15 (with 145mm of rear-wheel travel) and our Enduro (170mm of travel) use 101mm of travel to absorb a bump force of 1080 N.
Extensive field testing shows the Stumpjumper 15 with GENIE offers 57% more traction than a standard air shock, as GENIE technology provides a flexible, coil-like performance that keeps the wheel in contact with the ground for a greater percentage of time than a typical air shock.
39% fewer bottom-outs than a standard shock. During big impacts, it takes advantage of the steep rise rate in the last 30% of GENIE travel. Because of this two-stage steep rise rate, GENIE reduces the frequency and severity of bottom-out impacts.
This bike's geometry offers big bike capability when you need it, playful feel on playful sections, and agile, efficient climbing behavior. The generous cockpit places you centered on the bike, optimizing traction and control in turns. Low bottom bracket, slack head angle, and optimized fork offset maintain stability on rough terrain.
The Stumpjumper 15 seamlessly integrates benchmark geometry adjustment, making it the most customizable trail bike ever. Six distinct geometry adjustments allow you to tailor performance for any style on any terrain. Precisely adjust head angle and bottom bracket height for stability or clearance.
With our aftermarket shocks, you can choose between large wheels front and rear or mix things up with a 27.5" rear for more responsive, playful riding. No matter what you choose, geometry remains unaffected.
The SWAT 4.0 on the Stumpjumper 15 increases storage in the diagonal tube, an innovation we pioneered. It's the most weather-resistant storage system.
Our full-suspension bikes are built to be relentless, designed to withstand years of hard pedaling, and backed by the best support and policies to keep you on track. Our unmatched lifetime warranty, no questions asked, on suspension pivot bearings to the original owner is just one way we have you covered.
