Specialized Rockhopper SL Expert
The Specialized Rockhopper SL Expert is an upper model in Specialized's line of Rockhopper SL hardtail, affordable mountain bikes. It has a fully butted M4 manipulated alloy frame with 29" geometry, ORE down tube and asymmetrical seatstays for light weight, durability and compliance and features a RockShox Recon SLite coil-sprung fork with strong, oversized alloy stanchions and uses adjustable preload and rebound plus lockout for fined-tuned performance or long climbs. The Lightweight Shimano Hollowtech II crankset delivers stiffness and efficiency while Shimano Deore XT Shadow rear derailleur gives top-of-the-line shifting performance. It has high strength and durable double-walled DT Swiss 445D disc-specific rims and uses Avid Elixir 4 hydraulic disc brakes with G3 Clean Sweep rotors for optimal stopping power in any condition.
