Specialized Rockhopper Sport
All barn-burner, no benchwarmer — the Rockhopper Sport delivers serious performance while keeping your wallet in check. Game-ready with Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, Shimano CUES 9-speed shifting, and an SR Suntour XCM fork, this hardtail is built to tackle trails, city streets, and weekend adventures alike.
Lightweight & Durable Frame
The Premium A1 Aluminum butted frame is hydroformed for strength and low weight, offering increased standover clearance, internal cable routing, and dropper-post compatibility. Size-specific wheel pairings ensure the best fit and handling for every rider.
Suspension & Handling
Featuring SR Suntour XCM forks with Rx Tune and lockout, size-specific travel, and spring rates, the Rockhopper delivers consistent geometry and handling no matter the frame or wheel size.
Brakes & Drivetrain
Shimano hydraulic disc brakes provide strong stopping power with intuitive feel. A 1x Shimano drivetrain with a clutch-equipped rear derailleur keeps your chain secure and your ride quiet.
Wheels & Tires
Durable Formula hubs paired with hookless Specialized rims (25mm internal width) create a strong, light, and reliable wheelset. Ground Control 2BR tires provide traction and control for every adventure.
