FAQs

What is the benefit of the SWAT™ Door integration?

The SWAT door provides a convenient storage compartment in the downtube for carrying tools, tubes, and other essential items on the trail, eliminating the need for a backpack on shorter rides.

How do I adjust the geometry?

The Stumpjumper 15 Alloy features a flip chip in the shock linkage that allows you to change the head tube angle and bottom bracket height. This alters the bike's handling characteristics to suit different trails and riding styles.

What type of suspension does the bike have?

The bike uses an X-Fusion 02 Pro RL shock in the rear and a Rock Shox Psylo Silver fork in the front, providing a balanced suspension system for trail riding.

What is the recommended tire pressure?

Tire pressure depends on your weight, riding style, and trail conditions. Start with the recommended pressure printed on the tire sidewall and adjust from there. Experiment to find the optimal pressure for your needs.

How often should I service the suspension?

It is recommended to have your suspension serviced annually or every 100 hours of riding, depending on the conditions and use.

What type of brakes does the bike use?

The Stumpjumper 15 Alloy is equipped with Shimano MT-420 4-piston brakes, known for their reliable stopping power and modulation.

What is the warranty on the frame?

The frame comes with a lifetime warranty to the original owner. Suspension pivot bearings are also covered for lifetime replacement.

Troubleshooting

Bike feels unstable at high speeds.

Check and adjust the head tube angle using the flip chip. Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure.

Shifting is not smooth.

Adjust the rear derailleur. Check and lubricate the chain. Inspect the derailleur hanger for alignment.

Suspension feels too stiff.

Reduce air pressure in the fork and shock. Adjust rebound settings.

Brakes feel spongy.

Bleed the brakes to remove air from the system. Inspect brake pads for wear.
