- The A1 Premium light alloy frame is the true heart of this Rockhopper. Thanks to the machined piping the weight is reduced while the structure is very resistant. The standover space is very large, there is internal cable routing and the frame is compatible with the use of a telescopic seatpost. With the aim of providing the optimal position for every rider, the Rockhoppers are available in two wheel sizes, so handling is ensured for everyone.
- For the first time, the Rockhopper fork also has Rx Tune calibration. The Suntour XCM with Multi Circuit Damping has size specific travel to ensure consistent handling and performance across all frame sizes.
- Hydraulic disc brakes are powerful and intuitive.
- Great simplicity and practicality, thanks to the MicroSHIFT single chainring transmission with pulley on the gearbox to make it silent and to prevent the chain from falling.
- Very reliable Shimano hubs and Stout hookless rims with 25mm internal diameter; a durable and lightweight combination.
