Description

All barn-burner and no benchwarmer the Rockhopper Sport throws out the playbook when it comes to putting performance points on the board while playing some serious defense on behalf of your wallet. Game-ready with Shimano’s BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes Shimano CUES shifting and an SR SunTour XCM fork that’s built to hustle the Rockhopper Sport can tack up the win on any given Sunday—and the rest of the week too for that matter. A heart of gold presented in our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum the Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and downtubes to keep weight low and strength high all while providing increased standover clearance slick internal cable routing and dropper-post compatibility. To ensure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person no matter their measure we’ve 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 our Rx Tune to Rockhopper for the very first time the lockout-equipped SR Suntour XCM with custom Multi-Circuit damping brings size-specific travel and spring rates to the show in a performance that’s sure to impress while also ensuring consistent geometry handling and suspension performance regardless of frame or wheel size. Beautifully beastly Shimano hydraulic disc brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined intuitive feel to make for a package that punches way above its pay grade. Keep things simple with a durable 1x Shimano drivetrain with plenty of range and a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quiet—and your chain on.  Pair dead-reliable hubs from Formula with our 25-millimeter internal diameter hookless Specialized rims for a strong light and durable wheelset hat trick.  Frame Specialized A1 premium butted alloy zero-stack head tube internal cable routing 135x9mm forged dropouts chainstay-mounted disc brake replaceable alloy derailleur hanger stealth rack mounts dropper post compatible Seat Binder Alloy quick release 34.9 Fork SR Suntour XCM 26 30mm stanchions Rx Tune coil spring custom Multi-Circuit damping w/lockout QR 80/90/100mm travel size-specific 40mm offset Stem 3D-forged alloy 31.8mm 7-degree rise Handlebars Alloy Mini Rise 9-degree backsweep 15mm rise 31.8mm Saddle Bridge Sport Steel rails SeatPost Alloy 2-bolt clamp 30.9mm Grips Specialized Trail Grips lock-on Pedals Specialized platform Front Brake Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc Rear Brake Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc Rear Derailleur Shimano CUES 9-Speed Shift Levers Shimano CUES Right 9-Speed Rapidfire W/ Optical Gear Display Cassette Shimano Cues 9 speed 11-46T Chain KMC eGlide 11-Speed Crankset Stout 1x forged alloy 30T Bottom Bracket Square-tapered 73mm internal bearings 122.5mm spindle Pedals Specialized Body Geometry Fitness Platform Plastic Rims Specialized alloy disc only double-wall 25mm inner width 32h Front Hub Alloy Sealed bearing 6-Bolt disc 100x9mm spacing quick-release Rear Hub Alloy Sealed bearing 6-Bolt disc 135x9mm spacing quick-release Spokes Stainless 14g Front Tire Ground Control 2BR 27.5/29×2.35 T5 Rear Tire Ground Control 2BR 27.5/29×2.35 T5 Inner Tubes Standard Schrader Valve Weight Size Medium: 14.02 kg 30 lb 14.5 oz * Weights based on production painted frames as pictured.
