The Specialized Rockhopper Sport 29 2027 bike we’re featuring at Escapa is a true high-performance machine that breaks the mold by delivering exceptional performance without breaking the bank. Equipped with Shimano BR-MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, a Microshift Advent drivetrain, and an SR Suntour XCM fork designed for maximum speed, the Rockhopper Sport guarantees you victory every Sunday—and the rest of the week, too.
With a heart of gold, crafted from our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 aluminum, the Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and down tubes to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing greater ground clearance, sleek internal cable routing, and compatibility with dropper posts.
To ensure the Rockhopper offers the best fit and performance for everyone, regardless of height, we’ve paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper that adapts to every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper rides on the wheel that offers the best handling for its frame size.
We’re introducing our Rx Tune on the Rockhopper for the first time: the SR Suntour XCM with lockout and custom multi-circuit damping offers size-specific travel and spring rates, delivering performance that’s sure to impress, while ensuring consistent geometry, handling, and suspension performance regardless of frame or wheel size.
With impressive power, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes deliver a fierce bite while transmitting their power with a refined and intuitive feel, resulting in a package that far exceeds expectations for its price point.
Keep things simple with a durable Microshift 1x drivetrain that offers a wide gear range and a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quiet and the chain in place.
Combine Formula’s extremely reliable hubs with our Specialized hookless rims and a 25-millimeter inner diameter to create a sturdy, lightweight, and durable wheelset.
