All barn-burner and no benchwarmer, the Rockhopper Sport throws out the playbook when it comes to putting performance points on the board while playing some serious defense on behalf of your wallet.

Game-ready with Tektro M275 hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano CUES shifting, and an SR SunTour XCM fork that’s built to hustle, the Rockhopper Sport can tack up the win on any given Sunday—and the rest of the week too for that matter.

  • A heart of gold, presented in our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum, 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, no matter their measure, we’ve 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. 

  • Bringing our Rx Tune to Rockhopper for the very first time, the SR Suntour XCM with custom Multi-Circuit damping brings size-specific travel and spring rates to the show in a performance that’s sure to impress while also ensuring consistent geometry, handling, and suspension performance, regardless of frame or wheel size.

  • Beautifully beastly, Tektro hydraulic disc brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined, intuitive feel to make for a package that punches way above its pay grade.

  • Keep things simple with a durable 1x Shimano drivetrain with plenty of range and a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quiet—and your chain on. 

  • Pair dead-reliable hubs from Formula with our 25-millimeter internal diameter, hookless Specialized rims for a strong, light, and durable wheelset hat trick.

Solid bike

I’m 6-1 220lbs and just started riding trails and jumps. This bike is amazing! My friends were amazed that I was able to take it down black diamond trails with no experience and it holds very well on jumps and rock gardens. Just get some specialized pedals and you’ll be flying down the trails.

First MTB purchase

Excellent first timer mountain/trail bike. I've used it for the everyday road bike and it's amazingly smooth. I ran a few off road trails and it's excellent for the beginner. Fork travel works for me and what i've put it thru.

Great starter bike

Everything I expected from Specialized. Easy to order, picked up at my local dealer who put it all together for me. Bought it as my second bike for those easy days with family and for faster paced single track rides. Just what I needed for that. . The only thing I wasn't expecting is the color. It looks light grey online. Please note that the Satin Clay is NOT grey. It has a very subtle lavender tint. It's like a very light grey with a little light purple. Not as noticeable in the sun, but you can really tell inside. I'm wrapping mine with a black geometrical pattern so it's good. Just something to keep in mind if you are ordering online without actually seeing the bike.

Love this bike!!

Recently purchased this rig and have rode it quite a bit. Today was almost 17 miles. Mixture of paved trails...some easy off road stuff. Haven't rode in a bit, but this bike really shines.
