If youre ready to take your trail riding to the next level let us introduce you to your new friend the Rockhopper Pro 29. We built it to be light durable & exceedingly capable but how we did it is far more interesting. It all starts with an A1 SL alloy construction thatll resist corrosion & take a beating while the components are purposefully selected to squeeze every last drop of performance for the money. Along these lines we specd it with a mix of Shimano Deore XT & SRAM fast-rolling Ground Control Sport tires & a plush fork from Rock Shox. But what were most proud of is the Rockhoppers Trail 29 Geometry. It features a low bottom bracket roomy top tube & short chainstays to keep you ripping & confident both up & down the trail. The frame is constructed from lightweight A1 SL aluminum in order to provide a compliant durable platform to support our acclaimed Trail 29 Geometry. Combined you get a bike thats more than efficient on climbs & eager to get down to business on descents.A Rock Shox 30 Gold suspension fork offers 80/100mm (size specific) of plush high-performance travel thatll smooth out the bumps & ruts on your trail rides. It features proprietary technology from Rock Shox like its Solo Air spring that maintains an ideal equilibrium as well as being one of the lightest air springs on the market. The Shimano Deore XT rear derailleur is one of the much sought after components in mountain biking. Its remarkably reliable precise & crisp in its shifting & is nothing if not durable.
