Overview of components
Fork
The RockShox Recon Silver RL is included from the factory. It has a travel distance of 100mm. Bike forks are good shock absorbers and provide a smooth ride and a great experience. In short, make sure you choose one with a decent fork when you purchase your dream bike.
Fork material
Rockhopper Pro has an aluminum fork, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
When it comes to wheels, the Rockhopper Pro bike is equipped with the 26″ aluminum model. These wheels give you great handling over your bike. However, they are less forgiving when riding over obstacles such as bumps and roots.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Specialized Rockhopper Pro has Hydraulic Disc brakes installed. Hydraulic disc brakes provide amazing stopping power, no matter what the terrain. To sum up, these are ideal for anyone.
