With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Yes the new women's stumpjumper st 27.5 comes as an alloy version and it may be the most radically designed alloy bike ever made. And with new tube shapes an asymmetrical design and the snappy handling that the 27.5 platform is known for this bike is sure to exceed your expectations of how a trail bike should ride.
Our design goal for the new stumpjumper was simplebuild the ultimate trail bike one that feels telepathic. And it turns out that this feeling all comes down to stiffness. Think of it this way: when the frame's telling your hands one thing and your feet another your brain gets confused with the imbalance and the bike feels unstable. In order to fix this we had to get to work on dialing-in the materials shapes and the layout.
We continued down the suspension path with a women's rx tune that gives both the fork and rear shock a custom tune specifically for female riders. Suspension performance is highly dependent on frame wheel and rider size so we use our women's rx tune to get each bike to land in the middle of the adjustment spectrum and this gives you the biggest possible range to fine-tune your ride. Another focal point of the tune was matching the suspension characteristics between wheel sizeswe developed a specific rx tune for each platform and rider size. So no matter what you'll get perfectly linear suspension.
Steps were also taken to make this bike easy to live with. Threaded bottom brackets make a triumphant return and we made room for up to a 3.0" tire. You're also free to run whatever aftermarket rear shock you want since we're using standard metric shocks. And customization is furthered with a flip chip that lets you to dial-in your stumpy to your riding style. Switch it from high to low and it drops your bottom bracket 6mm and slackens the head tube by half-a-degree. Little details also jump out to surprise you like a newly designed ribbed chainstay protector that makes chain slap a thing of the past and nearly silences the drivetrain.
The build here is no-nonsense with a focus on dependable high-performing parts like Shimano SLX front and rear derailleurs Tektro gemini disc brakes a Rockshox recon rl fork with 130mm of travel a custom x-fusion 02 Pro rl rear shock with 130mm of travel and wide alloy wheels.
