Never got a chance to weight it but it feels like a rim brake carbon road bike probably 18-22lbs

If you like something that is fast yet capable of anything it's the bike for you. It's just an overall comfortable fast commuter. Have you test road one as yet? If not try to the future shock itself is a great feature. And if you like to play around jump off curbs do a wheelie or two it will hold up to the abuse

@@bikesandbalding I appreciate that. Most of my riding on limestone trails. I can't decide on the x 5.o or the TREK FX sport 5. Any suggestions one the TREK?

If you order direct to your house I believe that box comes with tools to assemble. But if not just a 4, 5,6 mm Allen keys will get the job done

Installed sealant

The look is not the best but the way it rides and performs is very smooth!

@@bikesandbaldingI’m indecisive between diverge and the 4.0x

This bike was a s3 which would be to small for me. I'm 6 ft tall and I would rather the s5 personally.

@@bikesandbaldingok. Im 6 ft 2 and wondering between s4 and s5.

This bike is comfortable and fun to do anything. I came from the BMX background and this holds up to anything you through at it. Hydro disc is the best thing added to this base model

12k from specialized website mrsp yes but from your local mom and pop shop we can get you better pricing

Imagine spending north of 12k for a bike and it gets thrown together like that. No carbon grease on the cockpit assembly, not a torque meter in sight. Man, that workshop is a tip, I would be embarrassed to put that video online. Have some pride in your workplace and clean that sh*t up, imagine if the paying customer came to the back of the shop to see where their bike was carefully assembled - I bet that would be the last time they visited your store.

That's the future shock system from specialized. Gives the rider 20mm of travel to smooth your ride

Did you remove the tires and tubes and tape the wheels before putting new the sealant?

29in

I don't believe any come through axle.

But I could be wrong I would have to look into more

I think the biggest difference is the comp is Nine gear i think this one is 11 or possibly 12.

@@207greenroom207 11spd, 11-51t

I believe color changed as well as what components come on the bike. Current year I believe the rear der is a micro shift with advent shifter. Still a non tubeless wheelset and tire combination. But fun affordable bike to get into the hobby

@@bikesandbalding Looks like the 2024 model has shimano deor and its tubless

@@JineeshSadasivan For rockhopper Expert 2024 they still have typo/mismatch on specialized website. General product details mentions "Tektro hydraulic disc brakes pack", while Technical Specifications has "Shimano BR-MT200, hydraulic disc, 160,180mm".

I would like to see it. Can you post a video with your Rockhopper on your TH-cam Channel?

Brakes rubbed until I trued the rotors. But after the test ride and re alignment it was great. I built 2 and both came out great. And it wheelies great to!
