The Rockhopper Sport embodies performance, flipping the script on how to score points while keeping a close eye on the budget. Ready for any ride, it comes equipped with Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano CUES shifting, and an SR SunTour XCM fork designed for action, ensuring victory on Sundays and throughout the week. Built from our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum, the Rockhopper features a butted aluminum frame with hydroformed top and down tubes to maintain low weight while maximizing strength. It also offers increased standover height, sleek internal cable routing, and compatibility for dropper posts. To ensure the best fit and performance for every rider, we’ve paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. This results in a Rockhopper that is ideal for every cyclist, guaranteeing that each one rolls on the best-handling wheel for its frame size. For the first time, it is equipped with our Rx Tune technology, allowing the lockout-capable SR Suntour XCM to provide tailored multi-circuit damping for specific travel and spring rates based on size. This results in remarkable performance while ensuring consistent geometry, handling, and suspension performance, regardless of frame or wheel size. Beautifully robust, the Tektro hydraulic disc brakes deliver strong braking power with a refined, intuitive feel, elevating the overall package well beyond its price point. Keep it simple with a durable 1x Shimano drivetrain system that offers an ample range, paired with a chain guide mechanism that minimizes noise and ensures your chain stays securely in place. Rely on extremely dependable hubs from Formula and our 25mm internal diameter, hookless Specialized rims for a strong, lightweight, and durable wheelset.
