Specialized Rockhopper Expert

The Specialized Rockhopper Expert takes trail performance to new heights, proving that capability and value can go hand in hand. Built around a lightweight yet durable A1 Premium Aluminum frame, it features hydroformed top and downtubes that optimize strength while keeping weight down. Internal cable routing ensures a clean aesthetic, while the geometry balances efficiency and control. With a size-specific approach, each frame is paired with the ideal wheel size, ensuring a confident and responsive ride regardless of stature. Dropper post compatibility adds future upgrade potential, making this bike a platform ready for progression.

Leading the charge up front, the RockShox Judy fork delivers smooth and controlled travel, with size-specific adjustments ranging from 80mm to 100mm to accommodate different frame sizes. This keeps handling precise, whether climbing steep switchbacks or charging through technical descents. Shimano’s Deore 11-speed drivetrain offers a wide range and crisp shifting, while the clutch-equipped rear derailleur maintains chain security on rugged terrain. Hydraulic disc brakes from Shimano ensure consistent stopping power with 160mm and 180mm rotors, providing confidence in all conditions.

Rolling on reliable Specialized alloy rims, the Rockhopper Expert features a durable tubeless-ready wheelset with Formula hubs and stainless steel spokes, delivering long-lasting performance. Ground Control 2.35” tires strike a balance between traction and speed, ensuring grip through corners and efficiency on climbs. The cockpit setup includes a Stout Mini Rise handlebar, lock-on Trail grips, and a Stout stem, offering a comfortable and controlled ride. A Bridge Sport saddle and size-specific crankset and seatpost lengths further tailor the fit for optimal efficiency and comfort.

Whether tackling cross-country loops or venturing onto technical trails, the Rockhopper Expert blends precision, durability, and affordability into a ride-ready package that exceeds expectations.
