Specialized is one of the world’s premiere mountain bike manufacturers. They have been creating some of the most popular bikes in the industry, and are one of a growing number of companies that are expanding into the 29er market. Like most of their other bikes, a Specialized 29er is sure to provide years of off-road adventure.
A Specialized 29er is currently available in both the Rockhopper and Stumpjumper model. Of the two, the Rockhopper is the more popular with the average rider due to its simple design and relatively low cost. These bikes are strictly hardtails, meaning they only use a front suspension fork and no suspension for the rear.
However, if you’re looking for the ultimate Specialized 29er, the Stumpjumper Expert Carbon 29 is right up your alley. This particular bike is again a hardtail, but incorporates a carbon fiber frame that is exceedingly lightweight yet exceptionally stiff. There is currently a full-suspension version of this bike in the works, but it is not yet available to consumers.
