We've been there. The trail can be a pretty intimidating place—intimidating, that is, until you hit it on the right bike. The Rockhopper 29 is the bike for you to find your confidence on the trail. It features our Trail 29 Geometry that will keep you feeling planted and comfortable over bumpy terrain, while the lightweight aluminum construction and durable, performance-driven components will have you flying up the trail in no time. It's the perfect start to a beautiful relationship.

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

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

  • A Shimano Acera rear derailleur is built to with durability in mind, so you can rest assured that you'll have a reliable shifting partner for the long trails ahead.

Amazing Bike

So I got into mountain biking in 2021 and thought I'd I bought the most expensive Walmart bike that I would be ok. Well it left something to be desired. I purchased this 2017 Rockhopper 29 used off Facebook and took it to my local bike shop for a refreshing. And so far its amazing compared to what I was riding now I can actually take it on actual mountain bike trails and feel like I have more bike underneath me where with the other bike it felt like the thing could break in half on me at any given time. Its given me a lot more confidence in my bike. And look forward to riding some more trails that I didn't dare try and ride the Walmart bike on.

Would Recommend?
Yes!

Great first *real* mountain bike

I bought one of these back in 2017 and I absolutely love it. Great hardtail for someone trying to get into mountain biking

A rock solid mountain bike

I have been using this for the last 3 years in my hometown - Bangalore. This is an excellent bike that has held up well over the potholed roads in my city and the trails and off-beat paths that only have gravel and no paving. I bike about 300-400 kms each month and the brakes, the shocks and the frame have been rock-solid despite the terrain that it has gone through, not to mention the monsoon madness that I have put it through. I wanted to get the same bike in a women's design for my wife but sadly could not find one in the local stores here.

Melhor custoXbenefício

A bicicleta original é muito boa, mas colocando uma ROCKSHOX XC32, ela vira mais que excelente, leve, e durável.

Otimo custo-beneficio

Apesar de pesada (aprox. 15,5kg) e do roteiro do cabo do cambio dianteiro passar sob o mov. central exigindo um esforço sobrehumano para usa-lo, é uma bike ultra resistente: Tudo o que precisa ser bom nela é da primeira, sem exageros no preço. Precisa de pouquissimos ups. Eu diria apenas suspensao e (no meu caso) um cassette 11-40, que exigiu apenas mais 2 elos na corrente. Só falta a ela um cabeamento interno, que a versao 2019 tem, mas deixou a desejar no mix de pecas.

Excelente aquisição

I would reccomend this bike for any beginner

This is my first mountain bike, and though it has a lower quality parts compared to more expensive bikes, the frame is solid, the tires are grippy, it shreds singletrack with no major problems (fork is cheap, and some chain slap occurs), and I have no complaints. I plan on upgrading this bike into the ultimate XC/trail machine, but for now, it's great as is.
