THE ALL-NEW
2012 STUMPJUMPER FSR
THINK AGAIN
During the past 30 years, if we’ve learned one thing, it’s this: 30 years doesn’t mean squat. Your trails have changed, your style has changed, and your skills have
grown. The sport has changed, because riders have changed. When we go ride, we feel the same way; a 30-year old rigid steel bike is cool to look at, but none of
us here would ride one. Let’s face it: we live in a different world now.
We’ve seen a lot of innovation that has brought us to the bikes we ride today: front suspension, then full suspension, disc brakes, 15 speeds, to 18, to 21, to 24,
to 27, and now back down to 20. We’ve gone from steel, to aluminum, to carbon fiber, and we’ve watched 29ers grow into something that’s bigger than just big
wheels. After all that, it’s pretty easy to see why we wouldn’t ride an old bike. But we’re sure glad we made them, way back then.
If you think you know what the Stumpjumper is all about, it’s time to think again, because we’ve been busting our humps developing the all-new 2012
Stumpjumper. Take a good look, we’re pretty stoked with it. Ride one, and you’ll feel why. Then check out the details: Autosag guarantees perfect shock setup
at the push of a button. The Command Post is something you’ll never give up once you ride with one. The geo’s are dialed so the bike rides perfect, no matter
what size you ride, or what wheel size you prefer. It’s the best trail bike we’ve ever made.
When we made the first Stumpjumper over 30 years ago, the team who designed it was only a few people. Now, we’re a huge team. And each of us is focused
on one thing: understanding what riders need, so we can make the Stumpjumper the best trail bike in the world. At a time when you might have thought mountain
biking couldn’t get any better, we’re bringing you a pretty sweet reason to think again.
See you out there,

THE ALL-NEW
2012 STUMPJUMPER FSR
XC TRAIL GEOMETRY
FOX SUSPENSION WITH
SPECIALIZED AUTOSAG
FACT 11m FRAME
TIMELINE
Kept secret by the Munitions
Control Act during the Cold
War, the use of a metal matrix
composite had never been seen
or heard of by the consumer
world. 10% stronger and 20%
lighter, the Stumpjumper M2
changed the game.
Constructed with Japanese-made
Tange Prestige tubing, this was
the lightest frame Specialized
had made to date. With a
lighter unicrown fork and the new
Tricross tire, this was the fastest
mountain rig in the world.
And, it was pink.
1981
The first Stumpjumper was a
TIG-welded blue beauty. The first
production mountain bike started a
new sport with its café-racer style
brakes, golf club stem and
Specialized Stumpjumper tires.
1984
1990
Ned “The Captain” Overend
brings home the bacon, becoming
the first mountain bike World
Champion aboard his prototype
Epic Ultimate and sets the stage
for the future Stumpy HT.
1991
S-Works FSR – Prestige chromoly
front triangle with a rear end
co-developed with Horst Leitner,
the legendary FSR suspension
system was born, along with a
new wave of mountain biking on
the horizon.
1992
S-Works Epic Ultimate – the first
product to bear the “S-Works”
badge was a sub-three pound
titanium and carbon frame. The
name S-Works has continued to
mean the highest in performance,
costs be damned.
1993
2002
Stumpjumper FSR XC Pro – an M4
frame with the ability to run rim or
disc brakes and adjust the travel
between 75 and 90mm made this
one versatile trail beast.
TIMELINE
S-Works FSR Carbon – with a Y570
carbon fiber frame and Brain
shock, this Stumpy was ultimate
blend of strength and efficiency, a
new era in XC Trail riding.
2004
Stumpjumper FSR Disc Anniversary
– The M4 chassis jumped to a
whopping 100mm travel on the
company’s 30th anniversary.
With a new “multidimensional”
forging, the bike featured the first
split seat tube, allowing the shock
to pass through the frame.
2006
All new Stumpjumper FSR platform
is the most evolved and advanced
version to date. With all-new,
and lighter, carbon and aluminum
frames, plus self-adjusting
AUTOSAG suspension. The all-new
Stumpy also marks the coming
of age for the 29er, with the first
S-Works Stumpy FSR 29.
Specialized builds their first
Stumpy 29er. With 105mm of
travel and XC Trail geometry,
it was one of the longest travel
29ers at the time. Complete
with custom geometry for the big
wheels and rad Commando style
paint job, this marked the start of
something big.
2008
TSI is born with a revolutionary
approach of integrating every
major part of the bike and
frame. The FACT 10m carbon
frame was perfectly integrated
with Specialized suspension,
including a tapered, one-piece
carbon steerer/crown, the first of
its kind on the S120.
2008
2010
Specialized redefines the XC
Trail category with an increase
in travel and reduction in weight.
With the S-Works Stumpy
featuring a longer-legged carbon
fork, carbon cranks and Brain
shock, this beast could tackle the
worthiest of trails. And, weighing
in at 23 pounds, it flew up the
hills faster than ever.

FSR + Brain
We blazed the trail in active, independent suspension, and have been refining it
ever since. FSR technology delivers more comfort, control and efficiency than
any other suspension design, by effectively isolating chain and brake loads.
Through our nearly 20-year progression of FSR we’ve been able to tune the ride
to match the experience. The result: The same FSR technology that smooths
the trail for Christoph Sauser to sprint up the mountain faster than anyone in the
world and is the same technology Sam Hill will call up to compete for another
downhill Rainbow Jersey.
Control – maximum traction means greater control.
The FSR design is independent of chain and brake forces, therefore it’s free
to compress and rebound over terrain features whether you’re pedaling or not;
allowing the tires to maintain contact with the ground a greater percentage
of the time.
Comfort – smoothing the terrain to minimize impacts increases an athlete’s endurance by
reducing fatigue. Active suspension is free to absorb trail-induced
forces so the rider’s body doesn’t have to.
Efficiency – maximizing each rotation of the cranks is the key to riding efficiently.
The FSR drivetrain is independent of the suspension, so pedal stroke is not affected.
Chain torque won’t engage the suspension, so as a rider puts effort into the
pedals the bike will propel forward, not up and down.
Brain –The externally tunable, trail-sensing rear shock,
pioneered by Specialized and manufactured by Fox sets
the bar for the pinnacle of suspension performance. With
a new XC Trail shock tune, and new easy-to-use Brain
Fade dial, the Brain maximizes efficiency and control over
smooth and rough terrain. When a rider encounters bump
forces, the Brain’s inertia valve disengages, allowing oil
to flow and the shock to immediately transition from firm
(efficient) to fully active (compliant) suspension settings.
The external Brain Fade dial allows riders to fine tune their
suspension to their perfect settings.

Otherwise known as Functional Advanced Composite Technology, FACT represents
our holistic approach to working with composites. Like any project at Specialized, FACT
bikes and equipment are based on the needs of the rider, then we apply four critical
disciplines to achieve the design targets that will best serve those rider needs: Design
& Engineering, Material Selection, Fabrication Process, and Testing. What’s the result
of the FACT process? Superior carbon bikes and equipment that deliver real-world
performance benefits for the target rider. In the case of the new 2012 Stumpjumper FSR,
this means that it’s lighter, stronger, and more versatile than ever before.

Wheels
Selecting a great wheelset for your riding experience is one of the quickest
ways to improve the handling, control, and efficiency of your bike. Roval
wheels are optimized for every facet of rider experience, from durability and
handling to compliance and efficiency. Whether it’s a superlight set of 26”
carbon race wheels, our lightweight-yet-super stiff carbon 29” trail model,
or a set of our tried-and-true alloy wheels, every Roval wheelset is carefully
engineered around the same experience-specific principles as all other
Specialized products. All Stumpjumper models are Roval equipped, with
the feathery carbon wheel models as factory spec on the top-of-the-line
S-Works Stumpjumpers.

AUTOSAG
A revolutionary, Specialized-exclusive technology, manufactured by Fox,
AutoSag automatically sets the proper sag and air pressure in your shock.
This quick and easier sag adjustment guarantees the perfect setting for
optimal suspension performance.

When a rider sits in the saddle, the Specialized-designed transfer port in the
shock releases air pressure until the set sag point is met; the rider cycles the
shock, which equalizes the positive and negative chambers. At the push of a
button, the shock is set at the perfect sag point. Ready to ride!

Geometry
The geometry on the Stumpjumper FSR has evolved over
30 years to its current iteration, growing and evolving as the
sport and riding has changed. The best riding position is a
result of being comfortable and in control.
Every Stumpjumper has a low bottom bracket and short
chainstays for maximum maneuverability, combined with
a roomy top tube for a balanced, centered position on the
bike. The geometries for both our classic 26” and 29er
Stumpjumpers are critically unique for both frame and
wheel size. Each size is dialed perfectly, so every Stumpy
is tuned for the rider (you!), and designed to match the ride
and handling characteristics of the two
different wheel sizes.
MANEUVERABILITY
EFFICIENCY
Our 26-inch and 29er geometries feature short chainstays, low bottom brackets and tight wheelbases, for
nimble handling and aggressive cornering.
The Stumpjumper rear triangle is designed to be stiff and responsive. The combination of a roomy top tube,
short chainstays and rigid bottom bracket ensures a proper fit, a balanced cockpit, and optimized traction
for efficient uphill performance.
EVO
STYLE-SPECIFIC BIKES BUILT
FOR EXPERIENCE-SPECIFIC RIDING
Riders often customize bikes to suit to a specific riding style. EVO bikes are
modified and tuned to meet those ever-evolving rider needs. Building on
the success of the Stumpjumper EVO’s breakout year, Specialized grows
the line with more models in 2012. EVO bikes are equipped to meet the
demands of more aggressive descending, with meatier tires, slacker geos,
wider handlebars and purpose-tuned suspension.
