The Rockhopper Sport is the epitome of performance, turning the playbook upside down when it comes to scoring points while also keeping a close eye on the budget. Ready for any ride, equipped with Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano CUES shifting, and a SR SunTour XCM fork built for action, the Rockhopper can secure victories every Sunday—and throughout the week as well. With a heart of gold presented in our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 aluminum, the Rockhopper features a butted aluminum frame with hydroformed top and down tubes, keeping weight low and strength high. At the same time, it offers increased standover height, sleek internal cable routing, and dropper post compatibility. To ensure that the Rockhopper provides both the best fit and best performance for everyone, we have paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper that fits every rider, ensuring that each model rolls on the best handling wheel for its frame size. Now equipped for the first time with our Rx Tune technology, the lockout-capable SR Suntour XCM features custom multi-circuit damping for specific travel and spring rates depending on size, delivering performance that impresses while guaranteeing consistent geometry, handling, and suspension performance, regardless of frame or wheel size. Beautiful and robust, the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes offer strong stopping power, delivering it with a fine, intuitive feel that elevates the package well above its price class. Keep it simple with a durable 1x Shimano drivetrain system that provides plenty of range and a chain mechanism with a chain guide that minimizes noise and keeps your chain secure. Rely on extremely reliable hubs from Formula along with our 25 mm inner diameter, hookless Specialized rims for a strong, lightweight, and durable wheelset.
