A venerable entity within the brand's collection, the Specialized Rockhopper Comp Mountain Bike has been re-imagined to offer new-found tiers of performance while keeping an attractive price point firmly intact. Fresh riding characteristics are realised by the new design to bring about magnified levels of enjoyment and ride execution across any off-road landscape.
The frame, employing the brands own A1 Premium Alloy, has an accurately butted tube formation to result in a chassis that is light, nimble, composed and robust. Realised with a fresh, cross country inspired geometry, the ride is infused with a tenacious and snappy character that is also surefooted and confidence-inspiring, no matter the technicality or genre of the trail. The SR Suntour fork that is Rx Tune configured to deliver the perfect suspension level forms an ideal coalition with the frame by promoting increased trail precision and comfort, regardless of terrain severity.
Stout alloy rims are durable and dependable and are linked to the reliable and smooth Shimano hubs via stainless spokes to deliver a rugged but responsive wheelset. An advanced theory that sees wheel size, either 27.5 or 29-inch, selected in relation to the frame size, further facilitates optimal handling traits no matter the size and skill of the rider.
