Excuse the bragging, but we really outdid ourselves here. The Rockhopper Expert is the pinnacle of 30 years of redefining the relationship between value and performance, proving that true trail-taming capability doesn't have to come at an intimidating price. Start with a meticulously constructed premium A1 aluminum frame, add modern geometry that keeps efficiency in mind; and the other on reliable capabilities. And you have the rock-solid foundation of our best Rockhopper. Combine that with a parts list that simply doesn't stop (can we suffer a reputation for the Judy SoloAir fork from RockShox and Shimano's ever-loaded MT-200 hydraulic disc brakes?), and you have a tubeless, SRAM NX 1x12 equipped Rockhopper that is absolutely ready to fly.
