Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29 Mountain Bike 2016 - Hardtail MTB
The 2016 Specialized Rockhopper Sport 29 is a hardtail mountain bike for taking up your local trail centre and going on cross country adventures with your mates. It is rugged and durable with corrosion resistant frame components for long-lasting performance.
Whether you’re a newbie to mountain biking or an experienced off-roader looking to upgrade frames the Rockhopper Comp 29 with its modern geometry and components has you covered.
Lightweight alloy frame
Key to the ride feel and performance is an A1 SL Premium Aluminium frame which is stiff, strong and lightweight - ideal for a trail bike like this. Extra material in the frame tubes which isn’t needed is removed through a process called butting. This lowers the frame weight whilst keeping it just as strong and stiff as a standard frame.
A tapered head tube makes for a stiffer front end. This improves your steering precision which is very useful on more technical traverses.
Geometry is dialed for stable trail riding with a long and low frame that provides great off-road handling. The 2016 Rockhopper climbs efficiently and descends confidently for the most fun off-road experience possible.
This is the same frame as features on the next level up Rockhopper Expert 29 model.
Custom suspension fork
You get 100mm travel (80mm on the small frame size) from the Custom SR Suntour XCR fork, based on the frame size. The fork remains composed over multiple hits (no pogo effect) thanks to Multi-Circuit Hydraulic Damping technologies.
Hydraulic lockout gives you extra efficiency on smooth climbs by fixing the fork in place. Usually on a hardtail at this price the fork would come with aluminium lowers (lowers slide into the fork stanchions) but the XCR fork comes with lighter magnesium lowers.
Shimano gears
You get a 2x9 speed Shimano drivetrain to play with. The ‘two by’ set up gives you all the gears you need in a much more user friendly system than triples. It is easier to find the right gear at the right time.
Hydraulic disc brakes
Hydraulic disc brakes are more powerful than traditional rim brakes and provide consistent speed control in all weather conditions.
More control
Ground control tyres are fast rolling with decent grip on loose ground. Large 29er wheels smoothly roll over lumps and bumps for a faster and more stable ride. Equipped is also a wider handlebar (compared to most hardtails at this price point) which gives you greater control on technical terrain.
Key Features :
- The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 SL Aluminium in order to provide a compliant, durable platform to support our acclaimed Trail 29 Geometry. Combined, you get a bike that’s more than efficient on climbs and eager to get down to business on descents.
- Custom SR Suntour XCR-32 29 fork features our Multi-Circuit Damping technology to eliminate any pogo effect by delivering 80/100mm (size-specific) of hydraulic damped suspension and rebound that smooth’s out rough terrain.
- 29 alloy Stout XC rims have been laced to our Stout XC hubs to form wheels that allow you mow over everything in sight, climb gracefully, and get to the bottom of the trail eager for more
- With reliable traction, puncture-resistance, and sheer speed over the dirt, our 29x2.1 Ground Control Sport tyres will keep you rolling with confidence over almost any terrain.
