The 2011 Stumpjumper 29er has: 

• Light and lean FACT 11m carbon HT 29er frame is engineered with a stiff, tapered head tube and 29" race geometry for pure speed

• New Roval Control SL 29 XC wheelset with carbon rims, OS28 end caps, Ti QR, and DT Swiss spokes and internals is insanely stiff, light and durable for riding straight through the rough stuff
• S-Works Renegade 29 x 1.95" dual compound 2Bliss Ready tires with aramid bead roll fast and still provide plenty of race-tested traction
• Specialized FACT OSBB carbon crankset with ceramic bearings is paired with a SRAM XX spider and 38/24t rings to create market-leading stiffness-to-weight for the ultimate power transfer

2011 Stumpjumper FSR and Specialize Camber Getting a Workout - See Them at Montrose Bike Shop

The 2011 Stumpjumper FSR and Camber are known for their efficient climbing, solid descending, and exacting amount of trail-tuned  suspension.  Enjoy this short video as they go through their paces.

New Mountain Bike for 2011 - Specialized Camber Now Available at Montrose Bike Shop

Specialized Bicycle Company has created an entire new category in the mountain bike world.  For 2011 the all new Camber Mountain Bike comes with hydroformed M4 alloy frames and an integrated headset, 120mm of travel in the rear and 100mm in the forks.
 
The geometry will remind you of the Stumpjumper, but with a longer wheelbase.  The Camber models offer pivot locations formed in tubes instead of welded separately.

Specialized Camber Elite does not include Brain technology set up on the shocks. This means that  the price point will settle at entry level for trail bikes.  Should you move up to the Camber Pro model, Specialized has added a SRAM 2×10 crankset with Shimano XTR 10-speed derailleur.  

The 2011 Camber Mountain Bike line will include
a 29er version in keeping with Specialized's indication earlier this year that they see the 29'er category growing significantly in 2011.
