Specialized’s entry level mountain bike, the Rockhopper, has had a full redesign for 2021, taking a cross-country inspired alloy chassis and giving it a few tweaks to make it real-world ready.
New entry-level bikes rarely get much attention, with press launches and media news-pieces dominated by top-level bikes, dripping in carbon this and electronic that (take its new Diverge, for example).
Specialized, however, is clearly excited about its latest Rockhopper, a bike that it says has been designed afresh, with ‘dialled up performance’ and an eye on value too.
Specialized has taken the Rockhopper and Pitch models and merged them for model year 2021, and in doing so has broadened the model with eight (!) sizes, 27.5in and 29in versions, a multitude of gearing options and a host of features designed to make the bike as versatile as possible.
