Discerning when it comes to your drivetrain? You’ll find no fault—and no grade too steep—with a wide-range Shimano Deore 1x11 drivetrain. Why stop there? We didn’t, in order to allow you the pleasure of stopping yourself with Shimano’s eager-to-please and oh-so-capable MT200 hydraulic disc brakes.

With the goal of making sure that the Rockhopper offers both the best fit and best performance for every person, no matter their measure, we’ve paired each Rockhopper frame size with the optimal wheel size. The result is a Rockhopper to fit every rider and the assurance that every Rockhopper is rolling on the best-handling wheel for its frame size.,A breath of fresh air at this price point—and plenty north of it, RockShox’s Judy SoloAir brings air-sprung sensitivity and performance to the masses with a killer value proposition: more bang, less buck.

Excuse the brag, but we’ve really outdone ourselves here. Proving that true trail-taming capability doesn’t have to come at an intimidating price, the Rockhopper Expert is the culmination of 30 years of redefining the relationship between value and performance. Start with a painstakingly engineered Premium A1 Aluminium frame, add in modern geometry that keeps one eye on efficiency and the other on confident capability and you have the rock-solid foundation of our best Rockhopper yet. Pair that with a parts list that just doesn’t quit (...can we get a shoutout for RockShox’s Judy SoloAir fork and SRAM’s always-in-charge Level hydraulic disc brakes?) and you have a tubeless-ready, SRAM Eagle 1x12-equipped Rockhopper that’s absolutely prepared to fly.A heart of gold, presented in our lightweight yet durable Premium A1 Aluminum, the Rockhopper’s butted aluminum frame features hydroformed top and downtubes in order to keep weight low and strength high, all while providing increased standover clearance, slick internal cable routing and dropper-post compatibility.

What do you call a hardtail race bike so light it can put most road bikes to shame? Well we suppose you could call it a hardly-there-tail but it actually goes by the name of the S-Works Epic Hardtail. Even while barely registering on the scale we’ve loaded it with enough capability to do quite a number on the trail. Welcome to having your cake and eating it too—S-Works style.Working towards the lightest bike possible has long been the race within the race but at what cost? The battle of the grams certainly hasn’t been without its casualties with hardtail XC race bikes coming to stand for a harsh twitchy ride at the expense of capability and versatility. But who said fatigue from fighting against your own bike makes you any faster? Instead recognizing that the fastest bike is more than simply the lightest bike we said out with the jarred-to-death tail the measure-your-posterior’s-sorrows-by-the-yard tail and in with the avant-garde tail. The ridiculously capable mystifyingly comfortable head-shakingly light and all-around fast Epic Hardtail. Sure we optimized every inch of the Epic Hardtail frame to achieve the lightest production hardtail frame in the world anyway but we also prioritized our commitment to creating an Epic Hardtail that’s as capable as it is comfortable with aggressive singletrack-inspired geometry increased tire clearance and a frame obsessively engineered for increased vertical compliance all while creating a bike that lives and breathes the fundamentals of fast. Such an unbeleivably lightweight yet impressively capable frame deserves a build to match and the S-Works Epic Hardtail certainly doesn't disappoint. SRAM's Eagle XX1 AXS electronic groupset and the featherweight Roval Control SL wheelset lead the charge in dropping some serious grams while seriously ratcheting up performance. Ridiculously capable and refreshingly compliant with a weight that'll make most road frames jealous the FACT 12m carbon S-Works Epic Hardtail frame isn't just light it's the lightest production hardtail frame ever produced. Pairing 100 millimeters of the most efficent travel on earth with RockShox's svelte-yet-stiff SID SL Ultimate chassis the RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN fork serves as the pinnacle of XC-race supsension perfection. The pinnacle of drivetrain performance SRAM's XX1 Eagle AXS combines next-gen wireless technology incredibly accurate shift performance and game-changing versatility to drastically redefine the riding experience. Weighing a remarkable 1240 grams the Roval Control SL wheelset not only increases strength and reduces weight but also features a new 29-millimeter-wide internal width rim profile that improves pinch-flat resistance by 22-percent.

Vitus Nucleus 24 Youth Hardtail BikeThe ideal trail-shredder for younger riders, the Vitus Nucleus 24 Youth takes inspiration from the adult Nucleus hardtail mountain bike.

Influenced greatly by all the good stuff Vitus learned when creating the award-winning adult Nucleus, this youth platform brings all the same trail riding performance and hardtail fun to the next generation.At its core, the lightweight aluminium frame utilises the familiar Vitus progressive geometry that promotes stability, control and confidence - everything you want in a bike for a smaller rider.Helping your youngster cruise the trails and smooth out the bumps is a quality Suntour XCR air suspension fork that’s adjustable to suit their weight and can be quickly locked out for riding on harder surfaces. Hydraulic disc brakes with adjustable levers ensure that powerful stopping performance can be achieved by small hands and the 2.0” Maxxis tyres deliver heaps of traction, so there will be no stopping them whatever the weather. A single front chainring keeps the maintenance low and the smooth Box Four gears include a clutch derailleur that stops the chain from bouncing or coming off.
