Spread The Word

The Specialized Rockhopper Comp Disc is a time-tested XC hardtail built for cruising fire roads and slicing through singletrack. Equipped with Tektro Draco hydraulic disc brakes and a RockShox XC28 29" suspension fork with lockout, the Rockhopper Comp combines performance with value in a package every rider will appreciate.

This hardtail mountain bike is built around a fully butted A1 Premium alloy frame with ORE  down tubes for a lighter, more compliant and durable bike! This frame is lightweight and strong for responsive agility and a confidence-inspiring ride. The Specialized Rockhopper boasts a RockShox XC28 80mm/100mm 29” fork with preload and rebound adjustment to give you plush and lightweight performance and supreme versatility when riding on the tracks and to ensure no matter what terrain you ride on, you have the suspension to go with it! Specialized have also given the Rockhopper a double butted, flat alloy handlebar which has been specifically designed and engineered to make navigating singletrack a breeze!

Featured within this hardtail bike is an SR Suntour XCR, 9-speed crankset with forged alloy arms and Octalink-splined BB interface meaning you will receive greater durability and a better shifting performance; the sealed cartridge bearing BB is also extremely reliable and easy to service. The Shimano Deore Shadow rear derailleur delivers super crisp, smooth and precise shifting and increases your clearance from trail obstacles! For all the stopping power you need the Specialized Rockhopper Comp offers you Tektro Draco hydraulic disc brakes/levers with Light Wave rotors which create increased control and superior stopping power to give you that confidence when you most need it.

Professional Review for Specialized Rockhopper Comp Review

The frame, the wheels and the minor finishing parts are superb, but the cost-cutting drivetrain and skinny stanchioned fork are a bit of a letdown. Even the Rockhopper Pro only gets a RockShox XC30 fork – the lower-priced Rockhopper gets a Suntour XCM.

The Rockhopper Comp has a long, low ride posture that offers a calm, smooth and incredibly confident ride on all but the roughest terrain. This is where the limits of the skinny legged fork start to become apparent: the seals bind slightly as the legs flex, especially when you’re braking on descents. Ironically, though, it turns out to be a blessing in disguise, as the bottom bracket is pretty low to start with. We experienced quite a few pedal slams on rocks at times when the fork made it further into its travel.

The long top tube reach (24.5in on the 19in bike) makes for very efficient climbing, partly making up for the 13.8kg (30.5lb) heft, and the short stem combines with a 71-degree head angle to create lively steering that relative beginners might find disconcerting compared to the more relaxed feel of some other hardcore hardtails. More experienced riders liked the animated handling.

There’s little room for argument over the highlight of the Specialized – it’s the frame. The light, manipulated tubeset is worthy of a much more costly bike, and bears a tapered head tube ready to take a 1 1/8in to 1 1/2in steerer fork upgrade – one the frame richly deserves. This XC28 with a reducer cup at the steerer base does the job and keeps your face off the ground with a lockout dial that stiffens rather than locks the spring, good rebound damping and a preload knob.

The Tektro brakes are decent, fairly well modulated stoppers and the rest of the finishing kit is well chosen. We particularly like the Body Geometry grips and the slimline but surprisingly comfy saddle.

Verdict: 3.5/5

Download the Specialized Bike Sizing Guide PDF

The right size bike for your body size is essential to ensure the optimum experience, comfort and enjoyment as you ride. With sizing varying between the type of bike, the brand and even the model, getting the perfect fit can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve compiled a handy guide to help you get the correct size. 

Measure Your Height

Our handy size charts match your height to the appropriate frame size so you need to be sure you’ve measured your height accurately.

  1. Take off your shoes and stand with your back against a wall.
  2. Make sure legs are together and your shoulders are back.
  3. Place a pencil on top of your head and mark the wall (the best and easiest way to do this properly is with a friend to help you).
  4. Measure from the floor to the pencil mark you have just made with a tape measure.

Range of Reach

For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. If this occurs you need to measure the range of your reach or “Ape Index”. This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle.

  1. Stand up straight with your back against a wall.
  2. Life your arms out horizontally either side of you.
  3. Measure the distance from fingertip of one hand to fingertip of the other. This will give you your arm span.
  4. Subtract your height from this figure to get your Ape Index.
  5. If the result is positive (your arm span is greater than your height) you should go for the larger size of bike.
  6. If the result is negative (your arm span is less than your height you need the smaller size.

Stand Over Height

You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. This will ensure comfort when you’re stopped and standing astride the bike.

Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.

Riding Style

The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you.

Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you’re looking for. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. For the best possible fit  we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call 0800 083 0888 for expert advice tailored to you.
