FOR OVER TWO DECADES the Rockhopper has been the best hardtail for any rider looking for thrills and adventure over a wide variety of terrain. The Rockhopper's M4 alloy frame and premium specs deliver category-leading efficiency, value and dependable handling.
Features Technical Specifications Availability
  • The M4 manipulated alloy frame is fully butted, with an ORE down tube for added strength and off-road accuracy.
  • The 100mm-travel RockShox Recon SLite features TurnKey damping (with lockout) and externally adjustable rebound for easy fine-tuning. 
  • Avid’s Juicy 4 RSL hydraulic disc brakes feature a tool-free reach adjustment; combined with the 160mm G2 Clean Sweep rotors, you get sure, precise stops, every time.  
  • Shimano’s Deore XT rear derailleur gives incredibly crisp shifts; its Shadow design tucks it out of the way for extra protection.  
  • The triple-chainring crankset utilizes Shimano’s Octalink-splined bottom-bracket interface for highly efficient power transfer.  
  • DT Swiss 445D disc-specific rims are doublewalled and eyeleted for strength and durability.  
  • The high-volume Specialized Fast Trak LK Control 26x2.0-inch tires provide lots of traction; plus, they’re 2Bliss ready.  
  • The Indie XC saddle uses our patented Body Geometry design to take care of your soft parts.
