Expirience with the Specialized Rockhopper 29

Ludwig Döhl The Americans at bike_marke are renowned primarily for their premium bikes. With the Rockhopper 29, they aim to challenge travel-hungry German providers in the entry-level segment. The moderate 68,5 degree head tube angle ensures a balanced handling. The moderate seating position is likely to be the perfect middle ground for the majority of bikers. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Racebike 675 Euro with higher quality components. For 675 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
