Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy - Large

Feel the confidence of a burly trail bike without the weight penalty: Harro's Snowsports rents the Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy in Crackenback for 2-hour, half-day, or full-day sessions. Perfect for riders chasing Thredbo’s technical descents and exposed granite slabs.

At the edge of the Snowy Mountains, Harro's Snowsports in Crackenback rents the Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy—an alloy-framed, trail-ripping mountain bike built to bridge technical descents and fast singletrack. Located in Crackenback, New South Wales, Australia, the shop sets up riders at Harro's Snowsports 1650 Alpine way Crackenback nsw 2627 and sends them into Thredbo's lift-access trail network and the rugged mountain tracks that fan across the Kosciuszko region. The Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy is tuned for aggressive trail work: an adjustable head-tube angle, 150mm of Fox FLOAT suspension travel, S-Sizing adaptability, a hard-wearing M5 Alloy chassis, and SWAT™ Door integration for on-frame storage.

It’s spec’d with a SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain and wide 30mm alloy wheels that resist pinch flats while keeping weight manageable for full-day rides. That combination makes steep technical descents and fast rock gardens feel manageable without a full downhill rig. Riding here means navigating granite outcrops, snow gum woodlands, and exposed alpine benchland unique to Kosciuszko National Park’s elevation.

Expect rocky chutes, rooty switchbacks, and short punchy climbs that reward precise line choice. Local flora includes snow gums and alpine herbfields; you may see wallabies or shy wombats in the quieter valleys. Practical details matter: rentals come ready to roll with a premium helmet, a water-bottle holder, and a fully prepped Specialized mountain bike.

Please arrive 10 minutes before to arrange your bikes and helmets. There are 2 daily bike shuttle runs from Lake Crackenback to Thredbo for $20pp; the shuttle leaves at 9:30am & 2:30pm and bookings are essential, which makes early starts simple and late-afternoon laps possible. Who this bike is for: experienced trail riders who want confident descending and secure climbing without carrying a heavier carbon enduro frame.

The adjustable geometry is ideal for riders who like to tune handling for techy downhill sections or longer cross-country efforts. Local operators like Harro's Snowsports are a practical hub for Snowy Mountains mountain biking—offering reliable gear, local trail knowledge, and shuttle logistics that unlock Thredbo’s best lines. If you’re chasing broken-in singletrack, exposed granite slabs, and the particular dry, clear air only found at elevation in southeastern Australia, the Stumpjumper EVO Comp Alloy is a spring-to-autumn workhorse that lets you go faster and farther with confidence.

Rentals offer flexible durations—2 Hour, 4 Hour & Full Day Hire—so you can test lines on a short session or commit to a full day of laps. The Alloy chassis balances toughness with lightness, making it forgiving on rock impacts yet responsive when you want to push speed. Note the height restriction (173 - 188cm); confirm fit at check-in.

For self-sufficient days bring a small multi-tool, spare tube, and energy food—local trails can be remote between lifts. Pack.
