Unbelievable specs meet the Rockhopper Elite Mountain Bike by Specialized. Air-sprung fork, Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain, and Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes. Conquer any trail with this exceptional ride.

We just re-read the spec sheet, and yep, we’re still blown away. The Rockhopper Elite is an absolute powerhouse of a bike.

Let’s start with the air-sprung fork: meet your new best friend, the RockShox Judy. When it comes to the drivetrain, the Shimano Deore 1x11 system has you covered with a wide range that handles even the steepest climbs with ease. And when it’s time to stop, Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes provide smooth, reliable stopping power, no matter what the trail throws at you.

Each of these features is impressive on its own, but the real magic happens when they all come together in a Rockhopper that makes you think, "So this is what a real bike feels like."

The frame is built from Premium A1 Aluminium, combining lightweight durability with strength. The butted aluminium frame features hydroformed top and downtubes to reduce weight and increase strength, while also improving standover clearance, adding slick internal cable routing, and offering dropper-post compatibility.

To ensure the best performance and fit for every rider, we’ve paired each frame size with the ideal wheel size. This means no matter your size, the Rockhopper delivers optimal handling and ride quality with wheels that are perfectly suited to the frame.

The RockShox Judy TK fork delivers size-specific travel to keep the geometry and handling smooth and consistent across all sizes, while Shimano’s hydraulic disc brakes offer powerful, yet refined stopping control.

The Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain keeps things simple and reliable, with a clutch-equipped rear derailleur that not only quiets your ride but also keeps the chain in place.

And finally, Formula hubs paired with our 25mm internal diameter, hookless Stout rims round out a wheelset that’s strong, light, and built to last.

With the Rockhopper Elite, it’s not just a bike—it’s a total performance package.

Cycle to Work Scheme: Affordable Riding for UK Employees

Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.

With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.

The process is seamless: Choose the bike that suits your needs and budget from our extensive range. Your employer will then set up a salary sacrifice arrangement, spreading the cost of your bike over a specified period, typically 12 to 18 months.

Once the salary sacrifice period ends, you have the option to own the bike outright for a nominal fee, ensuring you get to keep and enjoy your trusted two-wheeled companion for years to come.

Experience the freedom of cycling, save money, and reduce your carbon footprint with the Cycle to Work Scheme. Join countless UK employees who have already embraced this eco-friendly and wallet-friendly way of commuting.
