Corrections/updates to video: 1) The prices of all bikes have changed: Rockhopper Sport: $550 Rockhopper Sport: $650 Rockhopper Comp: $800 Rockhopper Elite: $1,000 Rockhopper Expert: $1,200 2) The Rockhopper Sport actually uses an SR Suntour XCM 29 coil suspension fork, which has 30mm stanchions instead of 28mm. This is similar to the fork in the comp model, but without the lockout and multi circuit dampening. 3) The Rockhopper Comp actually uses a different drivetrain in the United States than it does internationally. The microSHIFT drivetrain is for US models, while the other models use a mix of Shimano acera/alivio/altus components.

The elite have a number of similarities vs 2021 Trek Marlin 7 with prices a US$100 more expensive. But it do comes with tubeless anyway. Good comparison video👍🏻. I personally prefer the 2021 Marlin 7 with that great marigold to radioactive red two tone colors which I got it delivered to me 2 days ago (check my video upload). I too own an 11 years old Giant Yukon disc still with excellent like new condition. So my next purchase will be definitely the Specialized rockhopper elite if home space permits me to buy one more.

Though I think since they use the same frame, one could start out with lets say a Sport and later upgrade it bit by bit to even higher specs than the expert… You know, if the entry fee is too much, and you want to spend over time

@@TalalipopMTB to be fair, although I’ve had bikes since I was a kid, I just recently started going on proper trails etc. and although more experienced riders say my technique is good and all that. at age 37 I still consider myself as a beginner MTB rider. So I think I’m gonna be good with the ‘hopper. The old one I have had been upgraded to Shimano STX RC set 3x8 setup and V brakes. To begin with I’d probably go for a comp and later upgrade it bit by bit to a higher level shimano set, rock shox etc. It would probably cost more in the long run, but I don’t have to spend a large sum all at once 🤷🏻♂️ We’ll see… I’m still getting used to the idea to give up the vintage ‘hopper…

@@TalalipopMTB In Hungary what we have available is the full RockHopper lineup, the Chisel and Chisel Comp, Epic Hardtail and Epic Hardtail Comp and Fuse Expert… The RockHopper Elite is $1226 Chisel $2119 the Chisel Comp $2482 Epic HT $2594 the Epic HT Comp $3324 And the Fuse Expert is $3632 We have a few other from their MTB lineup as well as the other disciplines. For me the RockHopper Elite will be the go to bike, for what I do it will be a long time partner. I was talking to a friend of mine who has about 20 years mtb racing experience and rides Specialized for a long time now. He said to me, that for what I use it for, is enough. I explained my theory to him, saying maybe I’d get the base model, and upgrade it to Deore SLX or XT and the Rock Shox Judy. He said just go for the Elite or the Expert with the factory setup and it will probably be a lifelong partner for my use :) Nevertheless I’ll still keep my ‘95 one for fun and vintage mtb gatherings :) And the ‘93 RockHopper Comp too 😁 But then again, your video helped a great deal deciding!

I recently purchased a Rockhopper Elite 29 XL. After riding it the first day I replaced the 30T front ring with a 34 T ring because I didn't like spinning out while going down mild hills. This required a new crankset and bottom bracket. It cost about $150 after the credit the dealer gave me for the "old" parts which he will reuse. This may not be a problem for riders who use their bikes exclusively for trail riding but I use mine most often on tamer trails and bike paths. Also after about 250 miles I have found that I have never used the 2 largest rings in the back; before I changed to the 34T in the front I had no need for the 3 largest rings in the back (the largest ring is a 50 or 51T; a 42T would have been more than enough for me I think which I think may be the official spec). The other major modification I made was to install a 3" riser for the stem/handlebars for a more comfortable ride. I previously rode a hybrid with 42mm wide tires. The new bike hasn't really lowered my average speed much though, going from about 13 or 14 mph to about 12 or 13 mph. If I were doing the modification again I would probably get a 36T ring in the front, although if my largest rear ring was only 42T I would probably stick with the 34T in front. And thanks for the videos, they are very helpful.

Hey. Love your comparison videos. Wondering if you have any on the 22-23 bike season. Specifically trek Marlins and specialized rockhopers.

Thank you! I have a lot of videos on the 2022/2023 marlins, and currently working on a 2022/2023 rockhopper video that should be out in the next few days!

Small correction about the drivetrain: Rockhopper 27.5 Comp in 2x version uses Acera hardware. I have one so that's first hand info. Apart from that - very useful vid, great to watch!

For the 2021 model? I know the 2020 rockhopper comp used acera hardware but I think they changed it all to micro shift in 2021, but that’s interesting if they didn’t!

Actually I checked just now. I didn’t realize this before but the same bike in the US has different specifications. The US bike is listed to have microshift parts while the international version has altus/acera shimano parts. Which country did you buy it in?

@@TalalipopMTB Yes, 2021 model, bought in Europe, Poland. Edit: You're right, I checked it as well - it seems like there are 2 versions of hardware for this model, or even more. For example the catalog says my model should have Acera shift levers and Alivio rear derailleur, while my bike has only Acera there.

That’s crazy; not sure why they would switch it up so much between countries but that’s an interesting note.

Hi Tilal, I had to get whatever I could get my hands on because of what was an impending curfew set on out city so all I could get Giant Talon 3. Was super cheap, about 25% cheaper than a Marlin 6. I would have got a rockhopper if that had been available but it was a great price and XL frames aren't easy to come by. Perhaps your can do comparisons between say marlin 5 and the lowest in the lines of other brands and so on? Keep up the great work

So, I have specialized rockhoper 27,5 and I was going with my club on some trails and I didnt know the condition of them so I hit that rock garden with speed kf 20/30km/h and I even hit really big rock because I started panicking and still it held up pretty good on almost 1 km of rock garden, all I'm gonna say, It's soo good beginner bike, just change the breaks and ur all good, now I'm probably gonna buy the Rockhopper Expert and can't wait to buy it! Experience with the bike? 10/10
