We are checking out this awesome new Specialized Rockhopper Comp 27.5" Hardtail Mountain bike. New for late 2020 and into 2021 this bike is the new 27.5" version of the Specialized rockhopper and along with the smaller wheel size, the bike has a 1/2 degree slacker head tube angle than the comparable 29er. With a full 100mm of travel with the Medium size, you get full use of that head tube Eagle. Aside from that, the Rockhopper Comp is the first in the lineup with a 1x style drivetrain. Running 1x9 gearing from Microshift with a Clutch! This drivetrain slots in the Shimano Alivio/Deore area and with the full range 11-42t cassette it should work perfectly for most trails. The last pieces of sweet spec come with the Shimano MT200 hydraulic disc brakes, and the wide 25mm Stout wheels with a hookless bead! Anyway, this is a pretty exciting bike, so check out the video and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Really enjoyed the in depth bike check that you went through on this. I tried to find one of these bikes in stock at my local shop and even within a 200 mile radius. Couldnt find one at all cause of the pandemic. I really like the way this bike looks and the parts they put on it but I would want the 29" version for me in an xxl. Bought a fuji traverse instead the guy called said he had a kona gravel bike in stock since i was interested and he let me bring back the fuji and trade it for full store credit towards the gravel bike which is awesome.

Hi James, Thanks so much for the great video! I think I've decided on the 2021 Specialized Rockhopper Comp 29 in the gloss white silver metallic color (I was also considering the new 2021 Giant Talon 2 29'er in the concrete color). Still a little on the fence between the 2 bikes but do prefer the color of the Specialized over the Giant.. With respect to sizing on the Specialized, I am a bit confused as it seems I've been getting 2 different answers depending on the source (whether it be their website or some of the shops I've called). I am 5'9 and usually fall into the medium size frame for most brands but on the specialized website, one sizing tool puts me in a large and the other "size chart" puts me at a medium. Because of the "bike drought" there aren't any local shops that have 1 of each size for me to compare so was really hoping for your expert opinion before I purchase. Thanks so much James!

my local bike shop has a small 2020 specialized rockhopper comp on 29″ wheels for the standard price £599. this should fit fine as l had a 15″ specialized stumpjumper M2 on 26″ wheels (?) many moons ago which l 99% used on road or gravel trails. l have a choice of choosing this rockhopper comp, even a rockhopper sport or basic rockhopper OR choose the cannondale trail 5 or 6 or 7. so which would yourselves choose, the cannondale trail 7 which is £450 or pay the extra bucks for the rockhopper comp. l do prefer the look of the specialized rockhoppers to cannondale, but more importantly which is the better bike for the money? is there much of a difference between the 2021 and 2020 rockhopper comp? would it be reasonable to ask for a discount since it is a 2020 that the bike shop has. thanks for your suggestion and comments

Good review. This seems to be almost exactly like my 2020 Pitch Comp 1x. The rims and head tube angle might be the only difference (need to go back and review the specs on both) $50.00 price increase for newer year Rockhopper name is probably on par.

About right. The new Rockhopper 27.5 is a continuation of the Pitch just a touch more modern. The new RH has .5deg slacker, 5mm loger chainstays, shorter reach, and taller stack. Just modernized the Pitch.

I bought a medium framed 27.5 Rockhopper expert. Im between 5.7 - 5.8ft tall. I didnt realise the reach on the bike was only 415mm. Thats too short. Im guessing thats why they put one of those long stems on it, to try and make the bike longer.

At 5'6" 1/2, I tried both 29er and 27.5 size M Rockhopper base and Sports. I prefer 27.5 a lot more for its easy to turn and control. 29er just feels too twitchy and not as stable as 27.5 when turning and not as fast to accelerate. I higher recommend shorter riders like me to try 27.5 before making a decision on the size of the wheelset for Rockhopper.

I'm 5'9 and still prefer the playful 27.5 because the 29er feels like turning a tank (probably wouldn't for guys tall enough or experienced on handling bikes)

Hulk Truck Exactly! 29er bikes are good at rolling over things but it just feel like handling a tank comparing to a 27.5. I tested both the exact same model except the tire sizes. At soon as I hopped on the 27.5 after trying 29, I know 27.5 is for me.

This bike works well for a little bit, but after just a little while, things started to break. It is now at the point where so many things have broken on it that I’ve spent more than the bike is originally worth on replacement parts, such as the fork, the 2 chainrings at the front, the brakes, the rims, the cranks and the hub. I wish I had spent more money to get a bike more appropriate for my riding, and I wish I had put in a bit more research as for what kind of a bike this was. I would only ever recommend for someone looking to do light xc, as it won’t last long doing anything more than that.

I wanted to try the 29 and I bought a 29 inch at Walmart just to try the wheel size and feel. You get used to the wheel size pretty quick but is not as playful as smaller wheel size. I'm 5'9 and can ride M and L frame but decided on a Medium 27.5 as I like to control my bike better. If I didn't try to play more with the bike I would go 29 L frame . That's just my experience. Anyways, I'm keeping the 29'er as spare and project bike for upgrades.

I have the Elite 27.5 in "Gloss Redwood". I ditched the tubes, added a PNW Loam dropper, and swapped the stock crank for a SRAM SX set with a DUB bottom bracket because the stock chainring is pressed on and I wanted more top end from a 32T front.

Yes this is Gloss Clay! I got one today for my boyfriend and it is def more white in person. Like a true white/nude color in direct sunlight. Inside it has a slight pink tone, but definitely not pink.

I guess? It has 25mm internal rims, what other bike at this pricepoint is coming with as wide or wider wheels? The shape of those 2.3s are way better on these wide wheels apposed to thy typical 19mm wide rims that come on most bikes.
