What reviewers say
Propain Hugene
Owners of the Hugene generally describe it as a light, efficient trail bike that still handles descents well. Most praise comes from riders who climb a lot and want a bike that does not feel sluggish.
- Light weight for a 130 mm trail bike
- Efficient pedaling and climbing
- Confident handling on descents for its travel
- Setup out of the box takes some work
- Less plush than longer-travel bikes on big hits
Questions and answers
- Which is better for rough descents?
- The Stumpjumper 15. Its 145 mm rear and 150 mm fork absorb more than the Hugene's 130/140 mm.
- Which is better for long climbs and pedaling?
- The Hugene. It weighs about 6 lb less and has less travel, so it climbs and covers ground more efficiently.
- Is the Stumpjumper 15 worth the extra money?
- Only if you ride hard descents and want the extra travel and aluminum frame. Otherwise the Hugene does most trail riding for about $1,800 less.
- Which lasts longer?
- Both frames are durable. The Stumpjumper's aluminum frame shrugs off crashes, while the Hugene's carbon frame is lighter but costs more to repair if damaged.
- Can I run mixed wheels on either bike?
- The Stumpjumper 15 takes 29" or MX wheels. The Hugene is 29" only.
- Which has frame storage?
- The Hugene. Propain lists Frame Storage for tools and gear; the Stumpjumper 15 specs given do not mention it.
