Rockhopper Expert
The M4 manipulated alloy frame is fully butted, with an ORE down tube for added strength and off-road accuracy.
The 100mm-travel RockShox Recon SLite features TurnKey damping (with lockout) and externally adjustable rebound for easy fine-tuning.
Avid’s Juicy 4 RSL hydraulic disc brakes feature a tool-free reach adjustment, combined with the 160mm G2 Clean Sweep rotors, you get sure, precise stops, every time.
Shimano’s Deore XT rear derailleur gives incredibly crisp shifts, its Shadow design tucks it out of the way for extra protection.
The triple-chainring crankset utilizes Shimano’s Octalink-splined bottom-bracket interface for highly efficient power transfer.
DT Swiss 445D disc-specific rims are doublewalled and eyeleted for strength and durability.
The high-volume Specialized Fast Trak LK Control 26x2.0-inch tires provide lots of traction, plus, they’re 2Bliss ready.
The Indie XC saddle uses our patented Body Geometry design to take care of your soft parts.
