I was thinking that the site wasn't being updated due to covid, but your video showed that I need to be looking for a 29" version of a bike if I want to buy L or XL. Huge help, thanks brother.

Just bought one 3 days ago. 27.5” medium model. Like it so far. I ride about 15-20 miles a day. The forks and the clutch on the derailer make it seem like a one size fits all sorta thing. A veritable Swiss Army knife of bikes sorta speak. Chain fell off once on a curb jump so I do like that clutch feature. It should be used as a standard default if you’re an aggressive rider imo.

Bought one 2nd hand, with dropper post and tubeless setup, including cushcore tyre insert in rear. Pretty happy with it, but the SX derailleur doesn't like changing down under load. Could need a professional tuning, but things like that should be in anyone's scope. Coming from the road to mtb beginner, I've used this bike in two 4 hr XC marathon events, earning the D-grade podium. Good value overall, steady hardtail.

I like the idea of 1x12. low maintenance and air forks... so I would like to know if the 1x12 would give enough power on a road ride especially a slight decline and the wind at your back. considering I am 54 and not after any speed records (knees and lungs arent what they used to be)... or would the spring forks and 2x9 be a better fit...

It has "small valves with the turny thing," AKA Presta, which seem to be the main choice for tubeless setups. Sounds like you want Schraeder valves. It does take some courage to venture out on tyres that can't be pumped at the nearest service station, but you can carry your own pump. I have this bike with a tubeless setup (Maxxis Ardent), and rarely (only once when valve not reinstalled tight enough) needed to pump the tyres while I'm out.

Same aluminum, much much nicer components. By percentage the frame will not make up much of a difference in the overwall weight compared to changes in everything else.

How does this bike compare with the Trek X-caliber 8 2020, the only thing i noticed was that this bike comes with slightly 2.3" tires unlike the x-caliber which has 2.2", I am no expert so some feedback would be great also not sure how much it weighs . Thank you.

This is a really well spec'd entry level frame, the X-Caliber is more mid-level in the frame department. So it depends on the rider.

I have preordered my Rockhopper Sport from my LBS two weeks ago, but told me that they have no timetable as to when the bike will come in; they are looking at July for these models to start coming in. However, I have seen one in my size S and desired color when I checked out the "Find Nearby" retailers tab from the website last weekend. I was tempted to purchase it and pick it up, but hesitated as I have already Preordered one from my LBS. Now that bike is gone lol. Question, since that size has started showing up in one of the "nearby" retailers, do you think my LBS will start getting mine any time soon? Apologies on such a dumb question, I just am excited. Lol.

I also pre-ordered my Rockhopper comp last week at my LBS and said no time frame when it will be available. Well I placed a $100 downpayment so I can secure my spot if any deliveries come in.
