Heck yeah, Specialized has just re-read the spec sheet and still can’t believe it either. The Rockhopper Elite is one helluva lot of bike.

Air-sprung fork? Let me introduce you to your new friend, Judy. Discerning when it comes to your drivetrain? You’ll find no fault—and no grade too steep—with a wide-range Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain. Why stop there? They didn’t, in order to allow you the pleasure of stopping yourself with Shimano’s eager-to-please and oh-so-capable MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. Each is impressive in their own right, but the magic really lies in how they all come together into a Rockhopper that serves up single track with a nice big side of "Whoah, so that’s what a real bike feels like."

  • A heart of gold, presented in the lightweight yet durable premium A1 aluminium, the Rockhopper’s butted aluminium frame features hydro-formed top and downtubes in order to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing and dropper-post compatibility.

  • With the goal of making sure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, no matter their measure, Specialized has paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper to fit every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper is rolling on the best-handling wheel for its frame size.

  • RockShox's Judy air fork brings with it plush, reliable, supple and responsive suspension up front. Steer your bike in any which direction, knowing you'll have the confidence to absorb what the trail offers up.

  • Shimano hydraulic disc brakes front and rear allow you to stop in an instant or smoothly deliver braking power under refined modulation.

  • Keep things simple with a durable 1x Stout chainring paired with a Deore 11-speed, 11-51t cassette. A drivetrain that revolves around simplicity, reliability and crispness of shifting.

  • Pair dead-reliable hubs from Formula with a 25-millimetre internal diameter, hookless Specialized rims for a wheelset hat-trick: strong, light and durable.
