Yep, we just re-read the spec sheet and still cant believe it either. The Rockhopper Elite is one helluva lot of bike.

Air-sprung fork? Let me introduce you to your new friend, Judy. Discerning when it comes to your drivetrain? Youll find no faultand no grade too steepwith a wide-range Shimano Deore 1×11 drivetrain. Why stop there? We didnt, in order to allow you the pleasure of stopping yourself with Shimanos eager-to-please and oh-so-capable MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

Each is impressive in their own right, but the magic really lies in how they all come together into a Rockhopper that serves up singletrack with a nice big side of Whoah, so thats what a real bike feels like.
