Yes, we've also just revisited the spec sheet and still can't quite believe it. The Rockhopper Elite offers an incredible amount of bike for the money. Air-spring fork? Allow us to introduce: Judy. Have high demands for your drivetrain? With a Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain and a wide range of gear ratios, you'll be well-equipped for steep climbs. Why stop now? We're not! Braking is handled by Shimano's powerful, hydraulic MT200 disc brakes. Each component is impressive on its own. When everything comes together in the Rockhopper, it's common to think on the singletrack, "Wow, so this is what a real bike feels like."
