The Full Scoop on the Specialized Rockhopper Sport
Better performance. Better value. A better Rockhopper. By matching each rider with their ideal wheel size and dialing in suspension with our size-specific Rx Tune, we’ve engineered more capability into every ride—without adding cost.
A dependable Shimano 2x9 drivetrain delivers smooth, precise shifting, while powerful Shimano hydraulic disc brakes lock in confidence and control. It's everything you need, and nothing you don't—a trail-ready deal that’s tough to beat.
