Description
The Specialized Rockhopper Expert delivers genuine trail performance without the premium price tag, representing three decades of refined engineering. Built on a Premium A1 Aluminum frame with hydroformed tubes and modern geometry, it balances efficiency with confident handling across varied terrain. The fork—RockShox Judy SoloAir—and Shimano MT-200 hydraulic disc brakes provide responsive control, while the SRAM NX 1x12 drivetrain with clutch rear derailleur keeps things running clean and reliable. Tubeless-ready construction, internal cable routing, and dropper-post compatibility round out a thoughtfully designed package. Paired wheel sizes ensure optimal handling for each frame size, and Formula hubs paired with Stout rims create a durable, lightweight wheelset. This is serious trail capability engineered for real riders.
