Specialized Stumpjumper EVO Frame Bearing Kit

No, this specific kit is engineered exclusively for the alloy version of the Stumpjumper EVO (2022-2024). Carbon frames utilize different pivot hardware and bearing specifications, so you will need to source the specific kit designed for your frame material.

This kit is a comprehensive refresh package containing all the necessary cartridge bearings and pivot spacers required to service the suspension linkage on your alloy Stumpjumper EVO. It includes the specific 6801-2RS and 3802-2RS bearings needed to restore factory-spec movement.

You should consider a refresh if you notice side-to-side play in your rear triangle, audible creaking while pedaling, or if the suspension feels 'notchy' or stiff through its travel. If you ride in wet or muddy conditions frequently, these bearings will wear out faster and benefit from more regular inspection.

While you can perform this service at home, it requires a dedicated bearing press kit and appropriate drifts to install the bearings without damaging them. We strongly recommend using a proper blind hole bearing puller to remove the old units safely without marring the frame's pivot bores.

Yes, these are genuine Specialized components designed to meet the exact tolerances of your bike's suspension linkage. Using factory-spec parts ensures the correct fit and maintains the intended kinematics of your Stumpjumper EVO.
