Specialized Rockhopper Sport

The Specialized Rockhopper Sport is a lightweight alloy framed mountain bike which features hydraulic disc brakes for confident speed control. 

The Specialized Rockhopper is a name that’s definitely part of mountain biking history, with the first bike rolling out of the factory way back in 1985.

The tried and tested formula employed by Specialized of creating a good all-rounder at a decent price point still rings true for the Rockhopper Sport.
With an XS and S frame available this is a good entry level mountain bike for a teenager or tall tween who’s outgrown the kids bike range.
