Specialized Hardrock Disc 2012
Specialized Say:
The perfect way to enter the world of Mountain biking. Whether hitting the local woods for the first time or commuting, the Hardrocks versatile package can do it all. With a class leading frame, plush Suntour suspension and Tektro cable disc brakes to stop you in any situation, the Specialized Hardrock might be the first and last bike your will ever need.
We say:
Disc brakes aid better stopping power in the wet and mud, add better feel and are more convenient when you have to inevitably drop your wheels out. For many people, it's a worth while investment to make the already superb Hardrock into a more dedicated off-road bike.
