New Specialized Rockhopper = Better performance. Better value. Better Rockhopper. By tapping the fit and handling advantages of pairing each rider with their ideal wheel size and suspension that works its hardest for everyone thanks to the Specilaized size-specific Rx Tune the performance is added to the all-new Rockhoppers without dialing up the price. A summer blockbuster with an eye for adventure, the Rockhopper Comp 27.5 lives for high action and fast-paced plot twists and features an all-new, Premium A1 Aluminum frame making its singletrack debut.

A heart of gold, presented in a lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum frame, the Rockhopper Comp 27.5 features butted aluminum tubes in order to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing and dropper-post compatibility. With the goal of making sure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, no matter their measure, each Rockhopper pairs 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.

With Rx Tune on Rockhopper, the SR Suntour XCM 27.5 fork with custom Multi-Circuit damping brings size-specific travel and spring rates to the show in a performance that’s sure to impress while also ensuring consistent geometry, handling and suspension performance, regardless of frame or wheel size. Drivetrain duties are teamed up with MicroSHIFT robust drivetrain that can handle everything you're throw down, while confident and consistent braking in any trail condition is ensured with the SRAM Level hydraulic disc brakes.

Why 27.5” wheels?

• 27.5" bikes for a more agile ride - a big advantage when the terrain gets very technically demanding
• 27.5" bikes for faster acceleration than 29" - smaller wheelbase enables to faster achieve higher speeds
• 27.5" bikes are lighter - very simple: smaller rims, tires and tubes mean lower weight
• 27.5" bikes are more suitable for shorter people - they are easier to handle and 'closer to the ground'
