Pro bike gallery: Burry Stander's Specialized Stumpjumper 29er

Burry Stander of Specialized Factory team is riding one of the most popular bikes in mountain biking at the Sea Otter Classic, the Specialized Stumpjumper hardtail. With its black paint scheme, the S-Works model is not as flashy as some others, but Stander has some unique preferences that separate this Stumpjumper from the rest.
