Specialized Rockhopper Mountain Bike

Specialized Rockhopper Mountain Bike Overview

Specialized Rockhopper Mountain Bike is an XC mountain bike built around a Specialized A1 premium butted alloy frame with internal cable routing, forged dropouts, stealth rack mounts, and dropper post compatibility. The build uses an SR Suntour XCE coil-spring fork, Shimano Altus 2×9 drivetrain, Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes, and Ground Control tires.

The A1 premium butted alloy frame uses hydroformed top and down tubes to balance low weight and strength. The frame also gives the bike increased standover clearance, clean internal cable routing, and compatibility with a dropper post.

The SR Suntour XCE fork uses 28mm stanchions, a coil spring, QR axle, 42mm offset, and 80/90/100mm size-specific travel. The Rockhopper also uses size-specific wheel pairing, with 27.5/29×2.35 Ground Control T5 tires fitted to Specialized alloy double-wall rims.

The Shimano Altus 2×9 drivetrain gives the bike a practical gear setup with RapidFire Plus shift levers, a Shimano Altus front derailleur, Shimano Altus 9-speed rear derailleur, SunRace 11-36T cassette, and Stout 2x forged alloy crankset. Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes use 2-piston calipers on the front and rear.
