Specialized Rockhopper Pro 29 Mountain Bike 2017

Specialized Rockhopper Pro 29 Mountain Bike 2017

Exceed your capabilities on the climbs and excel through testing terrain on the trails. This is what the Specialized Rockhopper Pro 29 Mountain Bike 2017 has been built for: pushing your limits, and with an A1 SL alloy construction that’s stiff, durable and compliant for a comfortable and efficient ride, you’ll be itching to get back out there as soon as you finish.

Packed to the brim with performance-driven components, the Rockhopper features a RockShox 30 Gold fork with 80/100mm of on-trail travel that’s designed to soak up bumps and ruts, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout every stage of your ride. The Solo Air spring within the shock provides a perfect level of rebound and damping, without penalising on weight.

Enabling you to explore any terrain calls for a high-quality, wide range of gearing, and that’s exactly what the Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur has. A range of 20-gears with an 11-36T cassette ensures you can chop and change your riding style at a moment's notice, giving the versatility of spinning up climbs or attacking the descents, whilst the crisp shifting and reliable build inspires confidence for peace of mind, no matter how rough the surface gets.

Shimano BR-M506 hydraulic disc brakes provide control through every element, allowing you to hit corners and steep gradients with more confidence and technology at your fingertips than ever before. The 160/180mm rotors control heat build up efficiently without skipping on performance, for a more enjoyable ride.

Adding to the grip, Specialized have incorporated their Ground Control Sport 29x2.1” tyres that are proven in both cross-country and trail riding for their puncture protection and enhanced control. Their ramped up knobs with Flak Jacket protection are part of the trickle down technology from Specialized’s high-end race bikes, giving the same sense of performance at a more affordable price.

Possibly the most important part of the Rockhopper is the trademark 29” wheels that they have become known for. Proven as the fastest wheels on the market, the 29er rolls over roots, bumps and ruts easier than other 27.5 and 26” wheels and promotes continuous rolling speed as it takes inconsistencies in the trail more efficiently than others.
