PRESS RELEASE: Cascade Components

After a winter full of prototyping through mud and snow, we are pleased to officially announce our new Stumpjumper link. This link is compatible with ALL current generation Stumpjumpers (Stumpjumper EVO, Stumpjumper, and Stumpjumper ST). We designed the link to offer a substantial increase in progressivity along with increased travel. This most notably allows a coil to be run with much greater success.

The link allows you more bottom out resistance, more small bump sensitivity, and more mid travel support. As a result, the bike feels more planted through rough terrain while also having more pop off jumps and a more solid platform to push against in g-outs and corners. This translates to a more confidence inspiring ride that lets you push the bike even further. These improvements are apparent regardless of whether you are running an air or coil shock. That said, for coil users especially, this link is the missing piece of the puzzle. Our Stumpjumper link accomplishes all this without having to change any of the bike’s geometry and of course pedaling performance remains the same as before.
