The Specialized Rockhopper Sport MTB is a playful hardtail that can handle some offroad single-track and fire roads, as well as general street and bike path riding. It is sporty and well spec'd. It comes kitted out with Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, efficient MicroSHIFT 2x9 speed gears and a durable SR SunTour XCM fork. The big 29" wheels will have you rolling fast along the flats and downhills and the lightweight yet strong Premium A1 Aluminium frame tops this bike off nicely. It is a comfortable, sturdy, light bike which will stand you in good stead in a cycling event, riding for exercise or just recreational street riding.
Features
- Keep things simple with a durable 2x MicroSHIFT drivetrain that offers plenty of range.
- Pair dead-reliable hubs from Formula with our 25-millimeter internal diameter, hookless Stout rims for a wheelset hat-trick: strong, light and durable.
- A heart of gold, presented in our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum, the Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and downtubes in order to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing and dropper-post compatibility.
- With the goal of making sure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, no matter their measure, we’ve paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper to fit every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper is rolling on the best-handling wheel for its frame size.
- Beautifully beastly, hydraulic disc brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined, intuitive feel to make for a package that punches way above its pay grade.
- Bringing our Rx Tune to Rockhopper for the very first time, the lockout-equipped SR Suntour XCM with custom Multi-Circuit damping brings size-specific travel and spring rates to the show in a performance that’s sure to impress while also ensuring consistent geometry, handling and suspension performance, regardless of frame or wheel size.
