Expirience with the Specialized Rockhopper 29

Ludwig Döhl You prefer your bike to be used as a in light terrain? Then the Specialized Hardtail and you could really hit it off. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Specialized Hardtail, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. The way to the summit is not one of the strengths of this bike. One should not forget: the geometry is the heart of a mountain bike. For 675 Euro, Specialized provides more than the competitors in the same price range. With 25 years the warranty is another neat feature.
