right then neon
0:06
take one
0:11
well hello everyone back out there um
0:15
chips and i chips is here you can't see
0:17
him but he is here he's um
0:19
just off the trail been riding this bike
0:21
this is the new stump jumper
0:23
and uh you might think that it looks
0:26
very similar very familiar
0:27
and that's because you know to all
0:29
intensive purposes
0:30
the silhouette of the bike is is quite
0:33
similar
0:34
but the new bike has changed quite
0:37
significantly
0:39
the main focus for us was to change um
0:42
the riding characteristics the geometry
0:46
and incorporating those two things to
0:48
significantly reduce the weight of the
0:50
bike
0:51
so i'm going to talk you through a few
0:53
of those bits and pieces
0:55
and just so you can really get you know
0:57
the gist of what we're trying to do
0:58
with this new stamp jumper first off
1:01
we'll talk
1:02
we'll talk um sizing some you know
1:05
you're familiar out there
1:07
small medium large and extra large
1:08
that's our normal
1:10
sizing parameters four sizes to
1:13
fit everyone well with this new bike
1:16
we are talking six sizes now
1:20
that means that you've got a lot more
1:22
options as far as which bike you choose
1:24
to ride because all of the standovers
1:26
are incredibly low
1:28
so all you are talking about sizing is
1:31
your reach
1:32
and the reaches go up incrementally from
1:34
an s1
1:35
all the way up to an s6 hopefully
1:39
that means everyone is going to get to
1:40
get that
1:42
reach measurement that you know is so
1:44
key at this moment in time with mountain
1:46
biking
1:47
so sizing is a big change the geometry
1:50
of this bike
1:51
is 65 and a half degree head tube angle
1:55
it it can be changed with the flip chip
1:58
on the shock
1:59
and about a 76 77 degree seat tube angle
2:02
depending on again
2:03
where you've got that flip chip set so
2:06
you've got a little bit of adjustment
2:08
here
2:08
but really we wanted to focus this bike
2:10
as a pure
2:12
trail bike you know a lovely riding bike
2:14
which is why
2:16
weight is a big part of what we've tried
2:18
to achieve with this bike
2:20
you'll see the the weights have gone
2:22
down significantly
2:23
to really allow it to be a nimble fast
2:26
riding
2:27
great handling bike so we talked about
2:30
obviously the sizing another key area
2:34
that we focused on
2:35
is the kinematics you know the
2:36
kinematics on a bike is the way the
2:38
suspension works
2:39
it's how it but how the bike feels when
2:41
you're pedaling
2:42
and it's also how the bike behaves when
2:44
it's hitting small or big bumps
2:47
and all those things that we encounter
2:48
on a daily ride we really wanted to make
2:51
this bike nimble like i said
2:53
so that means that you know you had to
2:55
have a platform
2:57
that you could use to ride over the
2:59
small bumps and the bike react
3:01
but when you're riding in the bigger
3:02
stuff and it doesn't get hooked up and
3:04
slow you down
3:06
so quite a few nuanced details in the
3:09
suspension
3:10
kinematics something that i could sit
3:13
here and talk to you about spring curve
3:14
we'll stand here and talk to you about
3:16
spring curves and things like that but
3:17
really
3:18
you want to ride it i'm sure chip's
3:20
review will focus on that as well
3:23
so we've got short offset forks 44
3:26
offset forks
3:27
and i'll tell you about the travel
3:28
because the travel has changed we're now
3:30
looking at 130
3:32
uh rear end and a 140 front end to the
3:35
bike i was going to do that the other
3:36
way around but
3:37
you get the idea 140 130 and with that
3:40
130 back end
3:42
on the carbon bikes you'll see that the
3:44
bike has got a complete
3:46
unified carbon rear end no horse link to
3:49
speak of
3:50
it is there on the alloy bikes but on
3:51
the carbon bikes is a one piece carbon
3:53
back end
3:54
which again goes to saving the weight on
3:57
on this whole platform
3:58
no horse link that saves about 55 grams
4:02
in hardware
4:03
i know it's nothing but when you add up
4:05
all those pieces
4:07
55 grams to an engineer is a big deal
4:10
so different back end on the carbon
4:12
bikes same
4:14
geometry alloy to carbon so you're
4:16
you're getting the same ability to
4:17
change the the
4:19
shock set and adjust the the um
4:22
head tube angle uh same short offset
4:25
forks on the alloy bikes as well
4:28
same travel on the alloy bikes and
4:31
all of the bikes from top to bottom are
4:32
obviously fitted with all those things
4:34
that you would expect they're all boost
4:35
they're all threaded bottom brackets
4:37
they're all internal cable routings
4:39
and with the carbon bikes you also get
4:41
the swat technology that we introduced
4:43
on the previous models
4:44
so that hasn't gone away no swap for
4:47
alloy as you can
4:48
understand why um anything else you need
4:51
to know about
4:52
new compound on some of the tyres and
4:56
i think everything else you should be
4:58
pretty familiar with
5:02
very good right don't think i missed
5:05
anything
5:06
good stuff i probably didn't pause
