Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29R Mountain Bike 2016

Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29R Mountain Bike 2016

If you're the one in your group that's always getting followed on the trail, the Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29R Mountain Bike 2016 is here to make sure that it stays that way. Specialized have built it to be light, durable, and exceedingly capable.

It all starts with an alloy construction that'll resist corrosion and take a beating, while the components are purposefully selected to squeeze every last drop of performance for the money. The geometry features a low bottom bracket, roomy top tube, and short chainstays to keep you ripping and confident both up and down the trail.

Features:

• The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 SL Aluminium in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support our acclaimed Trail 29 Geometry. Combined with this, you get a bike that's more than efficient on climbs and eager to get down to business on descents.

• Custom SR Suntour XCR-Air 29 fork features 80/100mm (size-specific) of suspension travel that swings well above its weight class.

• 29" alloy Stout XC rims have been laced to Specialized's Stout XC hubs to form wheels that allow you to mow over everything in sight, climb gracefully, and get to the bottom of the trail eager for more.

• With reliable traction, puncture-resistance, and sheer speed over the dirt, the 29x2.1" Ground Control Sport tyres will keep you rolling with confidence over almost any terrain.
