The Rockhopper 27.5" combines durability and comfort in a ride that’s ready for weekend trails, fitness loops, or exploring local routes. The Premium A1 aluminium frame uses hydroformed tubes to reduce weight and maintain strength, giving a confident feel whether climbing or descending. With neat internal cable routing, a replaceable derailleur hanger, and dropper-post compatibility, it’s built for years of reliable riding.

The SR Suntour XCE fork delivers size-specific travel, keeping handling consistent across all frame sizes. Combined with Specialized’s trail geometry, it strikes the right balance between stability and agility.

A Shimano Altus 2x9 drivetrain offers smooth, dependable shifting and a broad gear range to handle steep climbs or fast flats, while Tektro HD-M280 hydraulic disc brakes provide confident braking in all conditions. Rolling on strong 27.5" alloy wheels with Ground Control tyres, the Rockhopper delivers traction and control across varied terrain.

This hardtail feels as reliable as it is fun — an accessible mountain bike that rewards every pedal stroke, whether you’re just starting out or rediscovering your passion for the trail.
