Riders looking for the perfect starting point to cross-country trail riding or just a versatile hardtail for kicking around town will love the lightweight utility, value and style of the Hardrock.
- This fully butted A1 Premium Aluminium frame offers improved fatigue life and comfort in a high performance and lightweight chassis, with an ORE down tube, externally relieved headtube and reinforced disc-brake mount.
- SR Suntour suspension fork lends 80mm of travel, with external preload adjustment for quick fine-tuning and a mechanical lockout for minimising power-robbing movement.
- Avid mechanical disc brakes are lightweight, easy to maintain and adjustable, offering hydraulic-level braking performance in a mechanical application.
- A Sram X4 rear derailleur and X4 8-speed trigger shifters allow sure, precise and quick shifts with the flick of a finger.
- The crankset utilises Shimano’s Octalink splined bottom-bracket interface for maximum power transfer.
- Specialized Fast Trak LK Sport tyres have a low knob height for efficiency and shoulder knobs for precise cornering.
- The Specialized XC saddle features abrasion-resistant side patches for enhanced durability.
