Specialized Rockhopper Sport: Unbeatable Value, Uncompromising Performance
The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is built to deliver serious performance without breaking the bank. It's a true barn-burner, designed to get you out on the trails and putting performance points on the board, all while offering incredible value. This game-ready hardtail mountain bike is meticulously engineered to excel on any given Sunday, and the rest of the week too.
A Heart of Gold: Premium A1 Alloy Frame: At its core, the Rockhopper Sport features a lightweight yet incredibly durable Premium A1 Aluminum frame. Its butted aluminum tubing with hydroformed top and down tubes is meticulously crafted to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing generous standover clearance, slick internal cable routing for a clean look and reduced maintenance, and full dropper-post compatibility for future upgrades.
Precision Suspension with Rx Tune & Confident Braking: Upfront, the SR Suntour XCM fork (available in 90/100mm travel depending on size), now featuring Rx Tune for the very first time on a Rockhopper, provides custom Multi-Circuit damping and size-specific spring rates. This ensures impressive performance, consistent geometry, and reliable suspension feel, regardless of frame or wheel size. Stopping power is always assured thanks to Tektro HD-M275 hydraulic disc brakes. These beautifully beastly brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined, intuitive feel, ensuring reliable and consistent stopping performance in all conditions.
Simple, Wide-Range Shimano CUES Drivetrain: The Rockhopper Sport simplifies your ride with a durable 1x9 Shimano CUES drivetrain. This wide-range system, featuring an 11-41t cassette, provides plenty of gears for any climb or descent. The clutch-equipped Shimano CUES rear derailleur (RD-U4000) ensures your ride stays quiet and your chain remains securely in place, even over rough terrain.
Strong, Light, and Durable Wheelset: Rolling confidently on dead-reliable Formula hubs laced to 25-millimeter internal diameter, hookless Specialized Alloy rims, the Rockhopper Sport boasts a strong, light, and durable wheelset. These rims are paired with Specialized Fast Trak Sport tires (26"/650B/29" x 2.35"), offering excellent grip and fast-rolling efficiency across varied terrain.
Optimised Fit for Every Rider: To ensure both the best fit and optimal performance, Specialized thoughtfully pairs each Rockhopper frame size with the ideal wheel size. This results in a perfectly proportioned and superb-handling bike for every rider, no matter their measure.
