Awesome vid. I had an S-Works Epic and I loved it. Sadly I had to sell it but still had the need for speed. So I got me a Large 2022 Rockhopper Expert and upgraded it to a trail bike. I also noticed that having an expensive bike it really gets hard to maintain. You want to ride carefully and every crash or cosmetic can set you back financially. Worst case scenario is that your bike turns into a paperweight and have to part it out. This is where an entry level bike makes more sense.

Mine just arrived the other day. First 29er I've owned. Feels faster but then I've not ridden a proper bike since 26 inch days! So far so good. Great handling, gears and breaks perform well. Sadly some slippage on the lower gears but taking it to the shop this week sonhopefully get that ironed out. Over all very pleased. Great vid. Nice it see how it performs on single track although I'll mainly be commuting and using roads for now but hope to get out to 7 stains Dumfries and Galloway this summer. Zhi-bde

Great video. I have a Rockhopper Comp 2021. It serves me well on urban use + mid level trail riding. The problem is the suspension. It’s coil and heavy. I’m wondering if I should simply upgrade the fork to something like a RockShox Recon or if it would make more sense to sell the bike and buy another, like a Chisel or Trek X Caliber 9. What would you do?
@danielrische467 Жыл бұрын
Hi Miquel, I have the same Rockhopper Elite bike that Summit and Shred reviews in the video and the Judy airfork on the Elite is certainly nice. The coil shock that I think comes on the Rockhopper Comp probably weighs more. I don't specifically know the RockShox Reacon but an upgrade to an airfork seems like a good upgrade! As far as selling the bike or buying another bike: A Rockhopper can be a good bicycle to upgrade so taking your frame and upgrading part by part as you wish would be a great way to improve the bike. If you have the $ to spend and you would like to take it to the next level with your riding getting a Chisel or a Trek X Caliber would be amazing as those bicycles are lighter are "race ready" and just so much more bike! Anyhow, happy riding either way!!!!

Hey D....I've had the same Rockhopper Elite coverd in the video for a little over a year now and I thought the video was really representative of the bike. After a year of riding I still think it's great! A side note, for how good I think the Elite is, it does have some functional limitations. If you race/want to race or if you want to ride more advanced trails then I would recommend spending more and getting more bike. The Elite is a great "entry level" ride that does the entry level stuff really well. Anyhow, ride on D!

Hey! what is your height? I'm 186cm and I'm in between L and XL too but don't know which one to get. I like the smaller frame and being able to lower the seat post more but I'm worried about not being comfortable enough for my height as with the "correct" size (XL).
