Ned Overend rides 2008 Specialized Stumpjumper

[ChinaskyHenk]

Among other two I own "Stumpy" too :p:p:p Coolest bike ever..I mean there's many companies who make cool bikes similar to this design but...Stumpjumper has that cool,elegant & not too pretentious look+overall quality! Some companies make bikes which look like robots,Santa Cruz for example & with all due respect i don't like that.. BTW 5 dislikes? Whats not to be liked in this video!!!

[mtb416]

This dude knows all there is to know about mountain biking. He's prove of the type of shape cycling can keep you in throughout your entire life. Just be sure to have kids before you start putting 160 miles in a week, ha.

[m015094]

Hey Ned, you're the bomb man. I'm 31 and wishing that I can be like you in another 20 years.

[surfingUSA100]

This is the sickest bike. 5 stars

[kingcolin08]

i rented a stumpy when i was riding in Montana, and it was the best bike ive straddled. the thing clings like none other to any surface and the goes down hills like they're paved. the only hold back is the wide tubes hurt to fall on because their square, o just stay up and your golden! super bike!

[AtzeSilence]

i need the Song too please^^ and this Bike is awesome

[tobigforyou]

golden banjo by Phontaine

[9pt9]

Went from a Santa Cruz heckler to an 09 sj. The stumpy kicks ass! Way faster and handles drops no prob. Climbs like a Billy goat even at 140mm. The brain rocks. Love it!

[usamericanz]

wow, it will go uphill AND downhill? hey genius, so will anything else with wheels.

[aerosoladdiction]

he said more than any other bike in our line, so it means that it will go uphill easier than the other specialized

[MrRUSS808]

Prolly but what about the Enduro sl expert??

[aerosoladdiction]

im not an expert on those bike but they look almost the same... haha i think that i qwill get the epic though cause its only 2800 with the brain and the eundro is 3300 with the brain...

[fabsdakilla]

Need that song!!!

[royalstarventure]

Hi tigerfrost!What thinks you he drives there, of course mainly cross Country!

[royalstarventure]

Wer kennt diese Musik. Help! Who knows this music from Video.Cooles bike,end Ned Overend.

[tigerfrost]

is this a XC bike?

[recon455]

Yes, the higher end versions are one of the main models in XC racing. It's Specialized's flagship XC bike.

[raven1234]

Ned Overend is always my favorite rider.

[peterpavlicek]

Specialized echt "das Beste" !!!

[alphizzons9]

i don't know..im not really sold on this "brain" technology. I can see many situations where it would have trouble. For instance, what if you're going up a technical climb and the inertia valve doesn't feel any g-forces and doesn't open up?? id rather just flip two switches and have my fork and shock do what i want when i want..

[xenomorphprime]

I love my 08 stumpy , Specialized makes the best xc bikes ever. I weigh 225 , took a 4 ft drop landed on both tires and rolled away with ease. If I were to try this on a GT thier shitty frame would have cracked in half. Specialized knows that a bike frame needs to be stronger in certain directions, the result is amazing durability and control. ps GT is known for bmx not mountain bikes .

Eu qro vcs vao tomar no cu seus grigos FDP!!

[frieswiththat37]

i love my stumpjumper

[prb007]

Ned 'the lung' Overend - legend! Hoping to get one of these from my LBS in the spring.

[gmarte12]

can you use the brain to do some all-mountain biking? or is it mainly delegated for xc/trail? was wondering if i should save up for one.

[4130fly]

Dude if you are doing a majority of all-mountain riding go with a Specialized Enduro. It climbs decent but not as good as a Stumpjumper w/ the brain. Now if your doing mostly XC/Trail riding, go for the SJ all the way! If you got the cash get the Brain shock, its well wroth it. Its a Complete Package.

[luigisilverio]

GT is the bike :)

[pyromaniac1207]

absolutely! GTs are the best^^

[sjbdeebo2]

I use to have one. A hard tail and it had so much flex in the frame, it was unbareable. I liked all the specialized hard tail's I've own. I'm currently looking for an FSR :)

[marookangaroo]

that wasnt me that commented below...someone else was on my account

[chrisnilsson91]

that got to be the most beatiful bike ever made

[sesarathor]

what does the S-Works give you

[pyromaniac1207]

a big hole in your pocket and a placebo-effect :P

[ctiebs]

anyone else own one of these? i think i'm going to buy one... slick looking bikes... nice and light rigid frame and SPECIALIZED!

[benedwar]

Yeah I've got one of these and love it! I've had 4 stumpy's in total so far and this is buy far the best. I have the expert model with brain shock on the rear which took a bit of getting used to but I wouldn't be without it now. Just fantastic.

[raulduke113]

cannondale for life

[mtbstubob3]

PEACE LOVE AND SPECIALIZED

[thechezanator]

Are you kidding specialized kicks ass!!

[TheIncridibleOne]

specialized sucks!

[jcgjfilms]

WTF specialized kicks ur fucking ass any day

[muddyfoxcourier]

come on.What does that old guy know about mountainbikes.

[mortulu]

lol, that "old guy" is a legend...

[tigerwah]

Word.

[tigerwah]

Please tell me you're not as dumb as you sound. That old man would destroy you.

[BlargSherpaKlondike]

@tigerwah he's like the Chuck Norris of XC or any other discipline of mtb.

[canguroman]

Captain Ned is a legend,..he could smoke you any day..period.

[liuwenjie6678]

ya right!i will never buy a specialized bike,cause not a single four linkadge frame coulde be able to be sentive to small bump than a double pivit one...hes lying!

[marookangaroo]

Sure kid. Specialized invested tens of millions into the R&D for that bike and its frame. I'm sure you know more than the 50 or so engineers that worked on it. Think before you write. Idiot.

[liuwenjie6678]

hahaha,ya been pissed off ya moron stick on s-work...now less and less ass would buy that s!

[EuphoriaSoul]

these guys aren't joking. this old guy would kill any of us....

[leo22mayo]

i dont.i think that the stumpjumper FSR comp has a good scheme. (that's my opinion)

[3ridetec]

The one thing that put me off about buying the new 08 stumpjumpers are the crappy colour schemes, apart from the black and carbon ones that I cant afford. Anyone agree?

[mortulu]

yeah, the bullshit-yellow one on the pro is the worst color ever. but the orange on the expert is quite nice.

[chrisnilsson91]

had a Stumpjumper FSR Expert for about 4 months now and still blown away by how well balanced it is. the rear shock is better than i expected it to be, solid on smooth trails but when bit bumpy avtivates at once. Nice work Specialized!

[kiansin]

Hmm...how did you adjust jus rear shock??no matter how i adjust it didnt seem right for me...

[chrisnilsson91]

on the brain, check the screw that adjusts the force needed to activate it. also make sure sure its well lubed, needs a lot

[kiansin]

Do you mean the red want??

[chrisnilsson91]

might be red, blue on the expert model

[kiansin]

I just got a 2008 stumpjumper pro...the rear shock suck...i change the air psi everything the rear shock doesnt seem to be moving thenever i hit something...dont buy it...

[3ridetec]

Did you tell the shop you bought from about this problem.

[pinkertigs]

Watching this video really makes me want to get out there now and ride and the weather is so nice today (Yes I'm British if you were wondering)

[ou812hv]

Met Ned many times. This guy is a class act! Great to see he is still "kicking butt"! Miss the mole though.

[gunkillah]

THOSE GUYS ARES SPECIALIZED :D!!!

[DuuNHa]

Ned is the man!

[sanitarishe]

[thedude107]

[mooney13]

[mooney13]

[danasker23]

what music is this? please

[matthewscd]

Phontaine "One Day At A Time (Golden Banjo)" - available on emusic (and yes, the whole album rocks)

[obellix]

Bike looks like mix of oldschool and new line :) I'm not sure that I like it.

[sguerguy]

Man, this bike. Sucks that there isn't much component choice other than Specialized, but this bike looks SICK!

[grommet20002000]

you can have an expensive santacruz with minimal technology or you can have a cutting edge specialized at a bargain price

[gigijoseph]

MBaction had the same review, nothing but great things said. Debating between the Santa Cruz Nomad or this 2008 Stumpjumper.

[GFrider12345]

sumpjumper

[mooney13]

Id go for the stumpjumper it rocks!

[carz240]

what music is this?
