Stumpy Evo 650b

just turned up this morning…baby blue colour for the UK

is it your cam or does the bike look short and tall?

Spoke protector still on…

Wow. She's an ugly bitch eh?

Something not right with that bike.

Did they re-cycle the 29'er front triangle?

In my opinion, I really think that Spzd got pretty caught out with their refusal to accept 650b. It looks to me that they wanted to stymie some lost sales and they cobbled together a bike with a 29er front triangle and EVO 26er rear triangle and stuck some 650b wheels in there… I think that's why they need that headset spacer between the frame and fork. I'm betting we see a "designed from the ground up" 650b Stumpy next year.

Looks short and tall is right. Not an appealing bike to me. I just get the feeling that S jumped into 650b half assed. They didnt seem convinced of the advantages last year. Just seems like they threw one together for their line-up just cuz.

Especially now that 1x is pretty much here maybe they'll tighten up the rear end of the SJEVO29.

That is exactly what I keep wondering. Someone needs to put the frames side-by-side

Stumpy EVO 26er, legit bike. Would own one had they not been sold out. This bike, not so much.

current stumjumper mainframe is what, 3 model years old? im guessing we see an overhaul of the whole platform pretty soon…

tada: evo comp 650b/evo com 29

think the camera (Motorola Moto G) is working fine, the bike does look somewhat "short and tall" especially as I'm used to 29'ers

here is a picture of me standing with the bike to give it proportion (I am 5'10" and this bike is a large size)

think you guys might like the look of this more, pulled it out of a box earlier and took 'er for a spin round the block, super impressed with acceleration and ease of rolling and its much lighter than it looks.
