I’m looking to buy this bike but does anyone know how much it weighs ?
I am currently looking to upgrade to this from my current Spec Camber Evo 29 2015. I think its guaranteed that the Stumpjumper would be better on descents/rough sections but does it climb as well as the camber or is there a noticeable difference ? I like the get the climbs over with as quickly as possible so this is important.
I’ve heard SWAT storage system can store as much as an inner tube, spare jacket, pump and some energy bars – is that the case with this bike ?
Also what does Comp mean ? I know it’s the lowest spec option for it ( I believe it’s SW, Expert, Elite & Comp in that order) but as I don’t like spending insane amounts of money on bikes as I know they’re going to get trashed by Northern England’s weather for half of the year I think the Comp is the more reasonable option.
Also is it risky to buy this without a demo ride, I’m getting the same frame size as my current Camber Evo bike was so assume it will fit the same ? I can’t demo it as I’ve found what I think is a good buy online at £2,220 from Leisure Wheels. (Unless anyone knows a better deal than this ?) usually this bike is £3000+ especially the 2017 version which doesn’t look much different.
