Overview
About this bike
Glide over the trail and show roots and rocks who's boss with Specialized's Rockhopper Expert 29er. Its big wheels, svelte A1-aluminum frame and a Manitou M30 suspension fork work together to turn techy sections into smooth highways of loamy dirt. Other legit touches found on this rig include the reliable Stout rims, a slick 2x10-speed Shimano/SRAM drivetrain and hydraulic Shimano disc brakes that stop on a dime while providing excellent speed modulation in even the nastiest conditions. And, you'll also dig the Specialized aluminum components and comfy Body Geometry saddle.
