well i went to china camp in marin to ride and saw that specialized has a booth setup ... talked to em and they were lettin people test ride epics and stumpjumpers for free! So i got an xl epic (im 6' 6") and did the loop with it
Pros:
Bike climbs great
Lightweight
Cons:
Suspension travel is minimal
That brain nonsense dont work
its top heavy so it corners like ****
these gay shifters that double as brake levers ... you hit the front brake too hard and the **** downshifts
Overall i think its a good bike for cross country and racing, but i like my klein better lol. The bike REALLY does climb well though thats one of the main things it has going for it.
I need to ride a blur ... im in the market for a new bike right now cause the pivot on my klein keeps breaking and its getting old.
