Which Rockhopper wheel size is for you?
Rockhopper 26"
Only available in XXS, this is for the young ones that are ready to shred on a bigger bike than the traditional "kid's" bike sizes go to.
Rockhopper 27.5”
Perfect for shorter riders and those looking for a lively ride, 27.5” wheels are more maneuverable than their 29” counterparts. They accelerate fast and corner well, with their shorter wheelbase giving the bike a nimble feel. The 27.5” Specialized Rockhopper is only available in sizes XS-M, with it being recommended that taller riders opt for the larger 29” wheels.
Rockhopper 29”
Ideal for taller riders and for those looking to push their XC boundaries, 29” wheels offer a higher top speed and are often seen as faster than 27.5” bikes. Their larger diameter copes better with rough terrain, offering a smoother ride and allowing you to carry increased speed over rocks and roots. This comes at the sake of maneuverability, with the larger wheels requiring a little more heft in the corners and being less responsive. The 29” Specialized Rockhopper is only available in sizes M-XXL, with shorter riders being more suited to the 27.5” version.
