I’m looking at getting the Stumpjumper EVO 29er HT for general riding and the odd XC race.

It will be replacing a carbon Stumpjumper 26er which has been a great bike for me.

Will the aluminium frame be a step back over the carbon?
I hope to upgrade the wheels and some of the components to make it a bit lighter.
I just like the way this bike looks and the 1×10 is perfect for me.

Did you get the HT EVO? What’s it like? Looks like a good replacement for my current hardtail.
I won’t be racing. But dig going down hills.
