The Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29" is a classic hardtail reimagined for today’s rider — efficient, versatile, and built to perform on and off the trail. Whether you’re a new rider or an experienced mountain biker looking for all-round reliability, the Rockhopper Comp offers outstanding performance and value.
Its heart is the A1 Premium butted aluminium frame, engineered to deliver the perfect blend of strength, low weight, and comfort. Hydroformed top and downtubes keep the frame stiff and durable while maintaining excellent standover clearance. Internal cable routing gives the Rockhopper a clean look and keeps everything protected from dirt and grime, while dropper post compatibility future-proofs your setup for more advanced trail riding.
Specialized’s Smart Wheel Size system ensures every rider gets the best handling performance — smaller frame sizes pair with 27.5” wheels, while larger sizes roll on fast and stable 29” wheels. This size-specific approach means the Rockhopper feels balanced and responsive for every rider.
Up front, a RockShox Judy fork provides smooth, adjustable suspension with 80–100 mm of travel (depending on frame size), delivering control and comfort over rough terrain. The Shimano Deore 1x12 drivetrain keeps things simple yet versatile, offering a wide gear range for tackling climbs and descents with confidence.
When it’s time to slow things down, Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes offer reliable, consistent braking performance with a light, intuitive feel. Rolling on Specialized Alloy tubeless-ready wheels paired with Ground Control 2.35” tyres, the Rockhopper delivers a great combination of traction, rolling speed, and durability for mixed terrain riding.
Finishing touches include a Bridge Sport saddle, sturdy alloy cockpit, and 2-bolt alloy seatpost, all designed for comfort and control on longer rides. The result is a hardtail that’s as fun on fast singletrack as it is practical for fitness rides or weekend adventures.
Whether you’re exploring forest trails, heading to your local trail centre, or starting your mountain biking journey, the Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29" delivers quality, capability, and confidence — all in a sleek, dependable package.
