Specialized Rockhopper Expert Mountain Bike in Silver/Burnt Gold

The Specialized Rockhopper Expert is the culmination 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 painstakingly engineered Premium A1 Aluminum frame, add in modern geometry that keeps one eye on efficiency and the other on confident capability, and you have the rock-solid foundation of the best Rockhopper yet. Pair that with a parts list that includes RockShox's Judy SoloAir fork and Shimano's always-in-charge MT-200 hydraulic disc brakes, and you have a tubeless-ready, SRAM NX 1x12-equipped Rockhopper that is absolutely prepared to fly.

The Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and downtubes to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing, and dropper-post compatibility.

To ensure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, Specialized has paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper to fit every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper is rolling on the best-handling wheel for its frame size.

Features:

• Beautifully beastly, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined, intuitive feel.
• Keep things simple with a durable 1x SRAM drivetrain with plenty of range and a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quiet and your chain on.
• Dead-reliable hubs from Formula are paired with 25mm internal diameter, hookless Stout rims for a strong, light, and durable wheelset.
