Excuse the brag, but we’ve really outdone ourselves here. Proving that true trail-taming capability doesn’t have to come at an intimidating price—the Rockhopper Expert is the culmination of 30 years of redefining the relationship between value and performance.

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

  • To ensure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, no matter their measure, we’ve 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. 

  • Beautifully beastly, SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes pack a mean bite but deliver their power with a refined, intuitive feel to make for a package that punches way above its pay grade.

  • Keep things simple with a durable SRAM Eagle 1x12 drivetrain with plenty of range.

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

Overall good quality

Very good bike. I ride it on trails weekly, the wheelset, and fork are a standout. The drivetrain is good, but I had problems with the derailleur. I recommend going to a bike store to check your fit as your position is slightly more forward than I was used to. I recommend upgrading the brakes as two months into owning it they went very soft, and I've got them fixed twice but they continue to go squishy and only engage at the end of the lever travel. Overall good for trail riding but wouldn't do anything extreme on it as the brakes are a liability.

Specialized rockhopper expert 2024

Excelente relación precio calidad, el color lagoon blue es muy acorde y sale de lo común, roba la mirada de otros ciclista. Y por último, la tienda de entrega (Margoni blike) excelente armando, tiempos de entrega, ofreciendo una excelente post venta e invitando a unirse a actividades recreativas.

Muy recomendada

Definitivamente la mejor compra que pude haber hecho, excelente grupo, suspensión y llantas, totalmente adecuada para montaña, no obstante en plano por la relación se alcanza a colgar, haciendo que deba pedalear bastante para avanzar. Si embargo se puede cambiar el plato, de resto EXCELENTE bicicleta.

algunos detalles del marco

Mi bici llego con un ralloncito en el marco y solo trajo para colocar un porta botella. No trajo para los dos porta botellas como sale en la referencia.

Buena bicicleta pero mala trasmision

Dentro del segmento del valor con otras marcas es como la mejor, pero la transmision se queda demasiado corta, los componentes sram sx son malisimos para subidas no se logran cambiar bien los cambios y se descalibran, en caminos planos anda bien en general. Por otro lado el marco es bueno liviano, los frenos andan bien y la suspension se comporta bien, pero la transmision tocaría cambiarla si se compran esta bicicleta, hasta un shimano deore 6100 anda mejor, si buscan un ugrade cambien a GX si se quieren quedar con sram. En general conforme, pero sram el segmento mas bajo de 12v no me esta convenciendo.

Overall, a very nice package

This is a great bike. Very stylish, some great colours available and fairly good componentry. The SRAM groupset is spot on - though I would've liked a bit more range on the lower end. It is definitely geared toward hill climbing. Brakes are awesome. For the money I would have liked a better fork, but the bike makes up for this in overall styling. Quite lightweight for a hardtail at this price point too.
