Specialized Rockhopper Sizing

Specialized suggests sizes but we'd always recommend test-riding the bike as everyone has different proportions and preferences. We'd say it's especially important if you straddle two sizes.

Height		Size
4' 3" – 4' 9"	130 – 145	XXS
4' 8" – 5' 11"	142 – 155	XS
5' 0" – 5' 5"	153 – 165	S
5' 4" – 5' 10"	163 – 178	M
5' 9" – 6' 1"	175 – 185	L
6' 0" – 6' 5"	183 – 195	XL
6' 4" – 6' 9"	193 – 206	XXL

If you feel little difference between sizes, opting for the smaller generally offers more adaptability down the line. Bikes can quite easily be made to feel bigger, but when trying to shrink a bike that feels too big, your options are more limited.

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is your ticket to trail-blazing excitement without breaking the bank! This bike is built to hustle, delivering top-notch performance for riders who crave adventure.

This year, Specialized equipped the smaller sizes (XS–S) with a 27.5" wheel instead of 29", making them more manageable for smaller riders.

Heart of Gold, Muscles of Steel

At its core, the Rockhopper Sport boasts a Premium A1 Aluminum frame that's both lightweight and tough as nails. The smart design features hydroformed top and downtubes, keeping the bike nimble while ensuring it can handle rough terrain. With increased standover clearance and sleek internal cable routing, you'll enjoy a clean look and easy adjustments. Plus, it's dropper-post compatible, so you can quickly adapt to changing trails!

Smooth Operator

Get ready for a silky-smooth ride with the SR SunTour XCM coil spring fork, giving you up to 100mm travel. This fork is tailored to each frame size, ensuring consistent handling and performance no matter your build. With Shimano's BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, you have the power to stop on a dime, instilling confidence in every ride.

Geared for Adventure

The Rockhopper Sport comes equipped with Shimano's new CUES 1x9 gearing gives you a wide range of gears and reliable shifting wherever you are on the trail. The clutch-equipped rear derailleur keeps your ride quiet and your chain in place, even on bumpy trails. Paired with Formula hubs and Specialized rims, you've got a wheelset that's strong, light, and ready for action.
