Love this bike! The only thing I would upgrade is the fork.

great bike

I use this bike for a lot of things. I have taken it off a six foot drop and it performed flawlessly. the stock forks are OK but this is a budget bike of high quality. some simple upgrades are new pedals and grips. when I get enough money I will probably get new front forks and convert to a one by. there is so much you can do to a bike like this. if you want to see it in action see the ""Winnemucca boys"" on you tube. have a great ride.

took this bike to west Africa (where I work)the price was right and the gear was good, just in case i cant get it back out!great bike for the mild technical single track rides here!

Bought this bike back in January as a ""catch-all"" commuter that could handle trails on the weekends. Since then it's held it's own for bikepacking trips across Colorado's front range and even a descent down the Pike's Peak. I would recommend this as an entry level bike that can handle almost anything thrown at it.

Using this bike for winter and summer commuting in Anchorage Alaska through snow, ice, and gravel. Works well so far. Initially there was some weird issue changing gears and slippage with chain. (tightened cables and what not) Bike shop changed the chain and cassette (no clue what was going on there so minus 1 star) for free and it works amazingly. Had it over one year in now. I change the tires out during winter for a deep wide tread with studs. Super happy with it!

I got this hard tail after 20 years gap from mountain biking, I wanted a hardtail bike on a budget. The Rockhopper comp has a quality frame and a groupset that performs well, After a few weeks riding the bike is a machine punching above it's weight, Sure you can get better but for the money its spot on
