2021 Specialized Rockhopper Elite 29 Hardtail Mountain Bike - Black

Starting from the frame up, Specialized factored in value and dialled up performance every step of the way, all while keeping a sharp focus on ride quality. An all-new A1 Premium Alloy Frame featuring butted tubing shaves weight while offering internal cable routing, dropper post compatibility, precise-inspired handling, and a service-course-friendly threaded bottom bracket. Plus, for Rockhoppers destined for urban environments, the frame features stealth rack and kickstand mounts. See, aesthetics and practicality aren't always mutually exclusive.

In another first for Rockhopper, wheel-size specific sizing has been introduced with the goal of making sure that rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every rider, no matter their measure. By pairing each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size, you get a Rockhopper to fit every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper is rolling on the best-handling wheel for its frame size. This now means that the Pitch and Rockhopper of old have merged to become one game-changing platform with 26-,27.5- and 29-inch wheel sizes, dependent on frame size. As a result, Rockhopper is now available in more sizes than ever, ranging from XXS to XXL.

Rockhopper is also now available with 1x12, 1x10, 1x9, 2x9 and 2x8 drivetrains to bring the most modern mountain bike performance that fits every rider's needs and budget. Air-sprung RockShox forks, tubeless-ready rims and tyres, SRAM Eagle 12-speed, powerful disc brakes and dependable Shimano components across the range make sure that, pound for pound, the new Rockhopper is the highest-performing mountain bike on the market. Even more impressive, the new Rockhopper achieves all this while offering better price points than ever. From the blacktop to the racecourse, Rockhopper has you covered.
