Rockhopper Expert

The Rockhopper Expert proves that true trail-taming capability doesn't have to come at an intimidating price. This bike is the culmination of 30 years of redefining the relationship between value and performance. The frame is built from lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum with a butted design and hydroformed top and downtubes that keep weight low while maintaining strength. The design includes increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing, and dropper-post compatibility. Each Rockhopper frame size is paired with the optimal wheel size to ensure the best fit and performance for every rider. This means every Rockhopper rolls on the best-handling wheel for its frame size. The bike features Tektro hydraulic disc brakes that deliver refined, intuitive power with a refined feel. A durable 1x Shimano drivetrain provides plenty of range, with a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that keeps your ride quiet and your chain secure. The wheelset combines dead-reliable Formula hubs with 25-millimeter internal diameter, hookless Stout rims for a strong, light, and durable package.
