 Hey, Long time lurker!
I’ve been riding a Scott aspect hardtails for years now and now I’m looking to upgrade.

I’ve been looking at a Specialized stumpjumper evo comp, but of course they are out of stock in Denmark :/

My question is, should I wait for it to come back in stock or go for another. Denmark is kinda flat so I’m not completely sure if a full suspension bike is even needed on the trails we have.

A "downcountry" bike might be the sweet spot you're looking for. Full suspension but shorter travel than a trail bike and longer travel than an XC bike.

Since you already have a Scott, this would be solid:

If you wanted to go with Specialized, you might look at the Epic Evo. It's their Downcountry bike.

Thanks! I will look at the Scott spark and try it out at the shop. Specialized is apparently a no go here, nothing is in stock anywhere.

It’s either Scott hardtails or Trek Fullsuspension I see on the trails.. or the e-bikes, sure love those here in Denmark.
