Maybe you're finding your legs on the singletrack, or perhaps you're just dirt-curious? Either way, the Rockhopper Sport 29 is the only bike you need to live out your trail fantasies. It places a focus on long haul performance, and we're not talking about 100-mile trail rides. Its corrosion-resistant hardware is built to last, while all of the components are purposely selected for their balance of strength and capability. And setting everything over the top is our Trail 29 Geometry that's guaranteed to leave you feeling planted, confident, and efficient out there on the dirt.
  • 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 XCM fork features 80/100mm (size-specific) of coil-sprung suspension travel that swings well above its weight class.
  • A Shimano Alivio rear derailleur controls the rear shifting with durable aplomb. It shifts along a wide gear range, 11-34t, so you can ride confidently knowing that you'll always have the right gear for the hill at hand.

I would definitely recommend this bike.

I use this product mainly on street and it rides very smooth (especially with upgraded maxxis hookworm tire). I do a lot of wheelies and this bike has helped me perfect my craft. The 29 inch wheels roll smooth on street and in dirt. Only thing I don't like is that I my dealer said that I should be fine with a Large frame (19.5) with me being 6 ft tall, but I feel that a XL- 21"" frame would fit me much better. Other than that, this bike is solid and holds me well and I have not had any maintenance issues to tend to (yet) after having it only 5 months now. I love this bike and am glad Specialized made a bike to suit my needs.
