Specialized says

For XC hardtail riders looking to upgrade their trail adventures or maybe even nab their first real deal mountain bike, the RockhopperAr is impossible to beat. A lightweight and responsive M4 chassis, capable MTB components and straight-out-of-the-box performance make this bike feel like a much more expensive ride
