Anyone have a Specialized Stumpjumper HT ?

Either the Comp or Expert model, just looking at HT's and just wanted to see what people thought of it.

Cheers.

I've got a new 2009 expert, it's great! The new sid forks are so much better than the old ones and the Avid Exlir brakes work really well.

Goes up hill like a rocket and very confidence inspiring on technical (xc) downs. If you get one you wont regret it.

I used to own 2005 Stumpy HT, it was a brilliant bike. Pretty much as described above. I'd buy another in a shot. Still using the saddle that came on it now actually. Only sold it as I didn't want such a XC race orientated machine, it was a wee bit harsh for really long days in the saddle and I'm a notorious sufferer of upgradeitis... 😳

Do you know what the weight of the complete bike is roughly ?

I've got a 2006 HT Comp with the M4 frame & it's a fantastic machine.

I use mine with slicks on for commuting & knobblies for off road duties. Depending on the type of tyres I put on it, it weighs in at around the 26lb or 27lb mark. I would assume that newer ones are even lighter again as they have the M5 frame.

I've had this bike for 3 years now & I can't see me parting company with it anytime soon.

Not sure on the weight of mine as I don't worry too much about that. I'd guess around the 25lb mark, it feels a lot lighter than my Fuel EX.

According to the latest What MTB magazine (i think) their review of the 09 Stumpy HT Comp weighed in at 23.2 lbs without pedals.
