Classic do-it-all mountain bike, best for 5’8”-6’2” riders – 19” CroMoly steel frame, 21 speed, weights only 26 lbs.

I have made this Rockhopper into an ultimate city street machine by installing raised handlebars for a lot more comfortable upright riding position and Kenda Kwest city street tires. It can be easily converted back into an aggressive mountain beast with a flat handlebar and knobby mountain tires.
