Specialized Hardrock

The Specialized Hardrock is the base model in Specialized's line of extremely affordable entry-level hardtail mountain bikes. It is built using a fully butted A1 Premium Aluminum frame with double ORE down tube for durability and light weight, and features a 80mm smooth-travel fork with preload adjustment and size-specific spring rates. The SRAM 7-speed cassette and SRAM X3 7-speed trigger shifters give efficient pedaling efficiency and smooth gear shifting while the Specialized Body Geometry XC saddle with front and rear bumpers gives a comfortable ride and off-road durability. It features Specialized Fast Trak LK Sport tires with a reduced knob height for lower rolling resistance and uses alloy linear pull pad V brakes. The Specialized Hardrock comes in Gold, Metalic Black or Red.
