About Specialized Hardrock bikes

The Hardrock is Specialized's entry level, aluminium framed, hardtail Mountain Bike that offers a great introduction to off road cycling. These versatile models with 80mm front suspension are perfect for exploring local trails will also happily double up as around town bikes. Although suitable for trails and tracks more serious Mountain Bikers venturing properly off road but still on a budget should consider the Rockhopper hardtail models which offer a very similar riding position but with improved spec's so higher performance and more durable components and more suspension travel up front (100mm instead of 80mm).
