Specialized Rockhopper Sport Mountain Bike 2022
Delivering performance at a price that's gentle on the wallet, the Specialized Rockhopper Sport Mountain Bike brings together a light and durable aluminium frame with a SR Suntour XCE fork. Size-specific wheels, travel and spring rates are a highlight, meaning every bike is tuned to provide a more customised feel with optimised handling. The frame is compatible with a dropper post for when it's time to make upgrades and the Rockhopper has a slick aesthetic, enhanced by internally routed cables.
Built up with Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, stopping power is excellent no matter the conditions, and microSHIFT 2x9-speed components are paired with a wide-ranging SunRace cassette for smooth, precise changes. The wheels supplied are designed to be strong, and are fitted with Fast Trak Sport tyres for smooth rolling and good traction.
Highlights
- Lightweight yet durable premium A1 aluminium 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, Specialized has 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
- Bringing Rx Tune to Rockhopper for the very first time, the SR Suntour XCE has size-specific travel and spring rates
- Reign in speed and dial up your confidence with powerful braking from Tektro's M275 hydraulic disc brakes
- 2x MicroSHIFT shifting handles drivetrain duties while you focus on the ride
- A durable Formula freehub and SunRace 9-speed cassette keep you rolling smoothly and promise countless miles of fuss-free performance
