Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc

The Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc is the top model in Specialized's line of extremely affordable entry-level hardtail mountain bikes. It comes in 2 models; the standard Hardrock Sport Disc which comes with 26" wheels and as the Hardrock Sport Disc 29 which comes with 29" wheels and a 29" geometry frame.  Both models use a fully butted A1 Premium Aluminum frame with double ORE down tube for durability and light weight, and feature a 80mm smooth-travel fork with preload adjustment and size-specific spring rates. The XC crankset uses Octalink-splined BB interface for reliable pedaling power transfer and the Specialized Fast Trak LK Sport tires use a reduced knob height for lower rolling resistance. The Hardrock Sport Disc comes in a Black/Red or Yellow finish while the Hardrock Sport Disc 29 comes in a Ti (Titanium) finish.
