Specialized Rockhopper Expert 29 Complete Mountain Bike 2024

Cross Country

With speed and pedaling efficiency in mind, cross country (XC) bikes are the lightest mountain bikes with the least suspension travel (typically 0 - 120mm).

Trail

Trail bikes are the quintessential “mountain bikes.” If you’re heading into the woods expecting to do it all on two wheels – climbing, technical sections, AND fun descents – you’re looking for a trail bike.

Mountain bikes are built for tackling rough terrain with frames made of durable materials like aluminum or carbon fiber, ensuring stability and maneuverability. They feature suspension to absorb impacts from rocks, roots, and drops, providing a smoother ride.

As the name suggests, hardtail bikes feature a rigid frame with front suspension only. This means that the rear wheel lacks any form of suspension, hence the term "hardtail."

Hardtail mountain bikes are renowned for their efficiency in transferring power from the pedals to the rear wheel, making them excellent choices for climbing and maintaining speed on smoother trails or paved surfaces.

Aluminum is the second lightest material per cubic inch, after carbon, but it is significantly more affordable. It offers versatility, strength, and durability that works well in all trail disciplines.

Premium performance at down-to-earth prices. As an entry-level RockShox fork, Judy delivers everything you need for a great day on the trail. TurnKey lockout gives easy 'on/off' control. Judy forks feature TurnKey lockouts for quick and easy On/Off control, factory-set rebound, 9mm QR axles, and a plush coil spring.
