Classic do-it-all mountain bike. Best for 5’8”-6’2” riders. It is the last year of steel-framed Rockhopper production. This bike’s frame is built with Ritchey Logic Nitanium tubing (CroMoly steel with Niobium and Titanium). This bike weights only 28lbs. Light and indestructible steel frames are coming back now in ‘gravel bikes’ designed for really rough terrains. City street tires, 21 speed.
