The Rockhopper Comp suits riders stepping up from an entry-level hardtail or newer riders who want genuine trail capability for singletrack at Hydraulink Trails or fire road climbs around Knox Mountain. Its RockShox Judy fork, wide-range 12-speed drivetrain, and tubeless-ready wheels make it especially appealing to riders who want room to push into more technical terrain without upgrading immediately.

Our team at Fresh Air will help you find the right fit in-store at both Kelowna locations. Stop by to work with one of our experienced staff members, or call 250-763-3425.

Our team will set up your RockShox Judy fork's air spring pressure for your weight, and get your tubeless tire setup dialled in on the Ground Control tyres for the mix of hardpack and rockier terrain found on local trails. We'll also handle contact point fit — setting saddle height and handlebar reach — so your pedaling position feels natural from the first ride. If you're planning to add a dropper post down the road, we can walk you through routing options on this frame. Drop into Fresh Air Pandosy (555 Groves Ave) or Fresh Air Dilworth (1656 Dilworth Drive), or book an appointment online.

Q1: What size Specialized Rockhopper Comp do I need?
Specialized offers the Rockhopper Comp across sizes XS through XXL, with smaller sizes spec'd with 650b wheels and larger sizes spec'd with 29" wheels for optimal handling. Check Specialized's geometry chart for exact measurements, or come into either Fresh Air location and our team will get you set up on the right size.

Q2: Is the Rockhopper Comp right for Hydraulink or Knox Mountain?
Yes — with a RockShox Judy fork, grippy tubeless-ready Ground Control tyres, and a wide-range 12-speed drivetrain, the Rockhopper Comp is well suited to the singletrack and fire roads found at Hydraulink Trails and Knox Mountain.

Q3: What's the difference between a hardtail and a full suspension mountain bike?
A hardtail like the Rockhopper Comp has front suspension only, which means it's lighter, more efficient to pedal, and requires less maintenance than a full suspension bike. Full suspension bikes add a rear shock for more comfort and control on rough, technical descents, but come at a higher price and added weight — our team can help you decide which is the better fit for the trails you ride most.
