Expirience with the Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29

Ludwig Döhl The Americans at bike_marke are renowned primarily for their premium bikes. With the Rockhopper Expert 29, they aim to challenge travel-hungry German providers in the entry-level segment. 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 Rockhopper Expert 29, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. If you set great value on high-quality shifting system there are other Racebike 1200 Euro with higher quality components. But let´s not forget: The geometry shows the know-how of the Specialized engineers. For 1200 Euro , other manufacturers deliver geometries with less potential. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Specialized sets the bar high!
