Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29 is absolutely prepared to fly. Proving that true trail-taming capability doesn’t have to come at an intimidating price, the Rockhopper Expert 29 is the culmination of 30 years of redefining the relationship between value and performance. Start with a painstakingly engineered Premium A1 Aluminum frame, add in modern geometry that keeps one eye on efficiency and the other on confident capability and you have the rock-solid foundation of our best Rockhopper yet. Pair that with a parts list that just doesn’t quit  and you have a tubeless-ready, SRAM Eagle 1x12-equipped Rockhopper that’s absolutely prepared to fly.

A heart of gold, presented in lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum, the Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and downtubes 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.

A breath of fresh air at this price point—and plenty north of it, RockShox’s Judy Solo Air brings air-sprung sensitivity and performance to the masses with a killer value proposition: more bang, less buck. The TurnKey damper deftly dishes out travel letting you focus on what’s ahead.
Soar up climbs and dive down descents with SRAM's ultra-wide-range SX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain. Add the Sram Level hydraulic disc brakes and you get the full package. Tubeless-ready rims and tires keep your options open and traction on-call.

Pedals are not included.

Why 29” wheels?

• 29" bikes for better control - thanks to a larger contact area with the ground, they offer you improved traction and better control while riding
• 29" bikes for higher speed - simple physics: larger diameter, higher speed
• 29" bikes for a smoother ride - larger wheels make it easier to overcome smaller and larger obstacles on the trail
• 29" bikes for taller bikers – simply because they are larger
