Specialized Rockhopper '12

  • The Rockhopper's M4 frame is almost twice the tensile strength of 6061 alloy tubing.

    Specialized Rockhopper

    Rugged reliable Rockhoppers have been around even longer than Specialized’s venerable Hard Rocks. The M4 (aluminium reinforced with silicon, copper, magnesium and vanadium) frame is almost twice the tensile strength of 6061 alloy tubing so it can be safely built into a thinner walled, hence a lighter (sub-1,500g) weight and more comfortable frame.

    • Fully butted M4 alloy frame.
    • The SR SunTour fork's travel is size specific - 80mm travel for the 13 and 15.5" models, 100mm travel for the Rockhopper's in larger sizes.
    • The fork spring rate is size-specific too - the 13" model will have a lighter sprung fork than the 15.5 and so on.
    • Light and durable double-walled alloy rims.
    • Specialized The Captain Sport tyres are good all rounders.
    • Specialized Body Geometry saddle - one of the best guarantees of comfort on a bike.
    • Mountain Bike Sizing Guide.

    'The Rockhopper is a time-tested XC hardtail built for cruising fire roads and slicing through singletrack. Equipped with Tektro disc brakes and a custom-tuned SR Suntour suspension fork with lockout, the Rockhopper combines performance with value in a package every rider will appreciate.'
