Apologies for the bragging, but we have truly outdone 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 crafted premium A1 aluminum frame, add a 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 just 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.
