Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Chainstay Protector

No, this specific protector is engineered for the unique geometry of the Stumpjumper FSR frame. It is not a universal part, so you should verify your specific model year and frame generation before purchasing.

This protector is designed to fit the specific contours of the Stumpjumper FSR chainstay, typically utilizing a secure, molded fit or adhesive backing depending on the specific model year. Check your existing chainstay to see if it uses a bolt-on or adhesive style for the most accurate replacement.

It is designed to cover the high-impact areas of the chainstay where chain slap is most likely to occur. While it may not cover the full length of the stay, it provides targeted protection exactly where your frame needs it most.
