Description
All barn-burner and no benchwarmer, the Specialized Rockhopper Sport throws out the playbook when it comes to putting performance points on the board while playing some serious defence on behalf of your wallet.
Game-ready with Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, MicroSHIFT 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 Aluminium, the Rockhopper’s butted 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, 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, 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 2x MicroSHIFT drivetrain that offers plenty of range.
- Pair dead-reliable hubs from Formula with our 25-millimetre internal diameter, hookless Stout rims for a wheelset hat-trick: strong, light and durable.

The Rockhopper features a lightweight and durable aluminum frame with a slightly slack head angle that provides stability on technical trails. The 29-inch wheels roll over obstacles easily and maintain momentum on climbs. The SR Suntour XCR 30 fork offers 100mm of travel, which is sufficient for absorbing bumps and small drops.
