For riders who want a premium trail bike with a plush edge, the Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Ohlins Coil (2025) delivers a FACT 11m carbon frame, 145mm of rear travel, and a mixed 29/27.5 wheel setup. A full Ohlins coil suspension package keeps the rear wheel glued to the ground through the roughest sections. The result is a bottomless, ground-hugging ride that stays composed when trails get wild.

Why we like it:

The Ohlins TTX22 M coil shock is the star here, offering incredibly sensitive, consistent suspension that soaks up repeated hits without fading.

Who it's for:

It's aimed at trail riders who prioritize traction and descending composure and want a high-end bike that thrives on technical, rocky terrain.

Highlights:

Built on a FACT 11m carbon frame with 145mm of rear travel, it runs an Ohlins RXF38 M.2 160mm fork paired with the coil-sprung Ohlins TTX22 M shock. A wireless SRAM GX Eagle AXS T-Type 12-speed drivetrain handles shifting, and burly TRP DH-R EVO four-piston hydraulic disc brakes bring serious stopping power. The mullet wheel setup blends rollover up front with a snappier rear end.

Things to consider:

The coil shock delivers plush traction and descending composure, but it adds weight and pedals a touch less efficiently than an air setup. Cross-country riders chasing outright climbing speed will prefer a lighter, air-sprung build.
