Rockhopper Base 27.5 Bike - Specialized

Better performance. Better value. Better Rockhopper. By leveraging the benefits of wheel size and handling tailored to each rider, and incorporating suspension optimized for all with our size-specific Rx Tune, we’ve added increased performance to the Rockhopper without increasing the price.

The reliable and precise Shimano drivetrain provides a robust 2x9 system capable of handling all your demands, while Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide powerful and safe braking.

The golden heart of the Rockhopper is its lightweight yet durable A1 Premium Aluminum frame. This variable-butt aluminum frame features hydroformed top and down tubes, keeping weight low and strength high, while also providing increased standover height, sleek internal cable routing, and dropper post compatibility.

To ensure that every Rockhopper delivers the best fit and performance, no matter your measurements, each frame size is matched to the optimal wheel size. The result: a Rockhopper that fits every rider, with the assurance that each model is equipped with the best handling wheel for its size.

For the first time, we’ve brought our Rx Tune to Rockhopper, with the SR Suntour XCM fork featuring lockout and custom Multi-Circuit damping, offering size-specific travel and spring rates. This ensures impressive performance and consistent geometry, regardless of frame or wheel size.

Finally, the ultra-reliable Formula hubs combined with our 25mm internal diameter rims form the perfect wheel set: strong, light and durable.
