Stumpjumper 15 First Ride | Testing a Trail Bike on Cross Country Trails

The Specialized Stumpjumper 15 Expert isn't really built to be an XC bike, but on my first ride I took it on XC trails to get it dialed in. How does 150mm of travel handle mellow, punchy cross-country terrain? Other than dialing in the bike, I also report on if this trail bike is total overkill or ok on more mellow trails. Watch to find out if 145mm of rear travel is too much for your local XC loops or the perfect setup for a one-bike quiver.
