Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29: The Perfect Balance of Value and Performance
The Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29 is the culmination of over 30 years of trail-taming expertise, proving that high performance doesn’t have to come at an intimidating price. With a meticulously engineered Premium A1 Aluminum frame and modern geometry that strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and capability, this bike is built for riders who want to tackle everything from challenging climbs to technical descents.
Key Benefits for Riders
Lightweight and Durable Frame for Maximum Performance
The Premium A1 Aluminum frame is both lightweight and durable, featuring hydroformed top and downtubes for increased strength while keeping weight low. This frame is designed with modern geometry that enhances standover clearance and overall handling. The slick internal cable routing ensures a clean and low-maintenance setup, while dropper-post compatibility adds versatility for the most demanding trails. Each frame size is paired with the optimal wheel size, ensuring the best handling for any rider.
Smooth and Responsive Suspension
The RockShox Judy SoloAir fork is an outstanding value in suspension technology, offering air-sprung sensitivity and performance to enhance your ride. The TurnKey damper provides controlled travel, allowing you to focus on the trail ahead without worrying about bumps or rough terrain. The 46mm offset fork and size-specific travel (80/90/100mm) ensure smooth handling for riders of all sizes.
Reliable and Powerful Braking Performance
For confidence-inspiring stopping power, the SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm front and 160mm rear rotors deliver reliable braking performance in all conditions. These brakes provide consistent power, whether you're tackling steep climbs or descending at high speeds, ensuring that you stay in control on any trail.
Efficient and Intuitive Drivetrain
The SRAM SX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain gives you a wide range of gears to tackle everything from steep climbs to fast descents. This drivetrain is intuitive to use, providing smooth and precise shifting across all gears. The 1x setup simplifies shifting and reduces weight, allowing you to focus on the ride without worrying about complicated gear changes.
Durable Tubeless-Ready Rims for Enhanced Traction
Equipped with tubeless-ready rims and tires, the Rockhopper Expert offers improved traction and fewer flat tires, giving you more confidence on technical terrain. The hookless design of the rims helps to ensure a secure fit for the tires, while the higher-volume tires absorb bumps and provide a smooth ride on rough trails.
