Overview of components
Fork
The Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 29 comes factory-installed with the RockShox Reba fork. This has a travel range of 90mm. Bike forks are perfect to absorb shocks and provide a great riding experience overall. To sum up, when buying a bicycle, make sure you get a fork that is capable of delivering decent travel.
Fork material
When it comes to the fork, this bike has an aluminum one, so there won’t be much extra weight added to the bike. However, they are not so stiff as carbon forks are.
Wheels
The wheels on Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 29 are the 29″ aluminum type. Having 29″ wheels means that you need less fork travel, leading to a reduction of the pedal bob effect. However, if you’re not a tall person, you might find it difficult to adapt to this wheel size.
Brakes
Nothing is more important on a bike than its ability to brake properly. Specialized Stumpjumper Comp Carbon 29 is equipped with Hydraulic Disc brakes. These kinds of brakes are among the most popular models used on bikes. To sum up, you can ride your bike with confidence.
