Specialized Rockhopper Sport Mountain Bike 2021
An eminent part of the brand’s collection across the last few decades, the Specialized Rockhopper Sport Mountain Bike has been re-formatted entirely to give rise to boosted grades of ride-quality and to further the scope of its versatility across all genres of off-road riding. This has all been achieved while keeping its famed and critical price-to-performance ratio.
An A1 Premium Alloy frame with accurately butted tubing promotes a chassis that is brimming with energy, responsiveness and composure no matter the terrain ahead. A newly realised, XC inspired geometry grants a confident, spritely character before the SR Suntour fork, via it’s RX Tuned suspension, adds increased line accuracy and plushness into the performance mixture, regardless of trail severity.
Burly, double-walled, Specialized alloy rims are amalgamated with solid and dependable Formula hubs to result in a wheelset that excels whether grinding uphill or flying down technical descents. A newly conceived frame size-specific wheel sizing scheme brings optimal handling to the package by matching the wheel size to the rider and bike perfectly.
All manner of topography is conquerable thanks to the vast scope of ratios offered by the Shimano gear formation before the hydraulic disc brake platform bestows confidence via its modulated and accurate stopping power.
Complemented by a threaded bottom bracket, aesthetically pleasing internal cable routing, dropper post compatibility and convenient rack and kickstand mounts, the Rockhopper results in a most comprehensive and multifaceted companion that is set for any adventure.
