Specialized Rockhopper Sport 29 Mountain Bike 2017
Hit the trails with confidence with the Specialized Rockhopper Sport 29 Mountain Bike 2017. Designed to suit both the keen off-road rider and those who are just dirt-curious, the Rockhopper Sport 29 is built on a platform of comfort and performance.
Specialized's legendary Rockhopper is ready again for durable off-road performance and the Trail 29 Geometry leaves you feeling confident and balanced whether you are travelling at speed or balancing through a technical section of trail.
Coupled with the Rockhopper frameset is the dampening prowess of the SR Suntour XCM front fork, which offers 80 or 100mm of travel depending on the frame size. The coil-sprung suspension is designed to take both big hits and to dampen out vibration without any unwanted pogoing effects.
Moving beyond the frameset, gearing has been taken care of with Shimano's 8-speed drivetrain. This affords a wide range of gearing options that are more than capable of helping you power up tough gradients.
Shimano also provides the braking in the form of their BL-M315 hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes are designed to perform in both the wet and the dry and the large 180/160mm rotor size does a fantastic job of dissipating heat and maintaining braking responsiveness.
Specialized's Ground Control Sport 29 tyres keep you firmly planted on the trail and the Flak Jacket puncture protection makes sure any unwanted contact with sharp objects does not deflate your off-road experience.
Features
The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 Premium aluminium in order to provide a compliant and durable platform to support Specialized's acclaimed Trail 29 Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that's more than efficient on climbs and eager to get down to business on descents
Custom SR Suntour XCM fork features 80/100mm (size-specific) of coil-sprung suspension travel that swings well above its weight class
A Shimano Alivio rear derailleur controls the rear shifting with durable assurance. It shifts along a wide gear range, 11-34t, so you can ride confidently knowing that you'll always have the right gear for the hill at hand
