from Lawrence, KS Date Reviewed: March 17, 2012 Strengths: Solid Bike. My last bike was a '99 Stumpjumper, and am pretty amazed with the next decade technology that this Rockhopper features. This is a high end bike in my eyes. The frame geometry is nimble. After a few hours of riding, I felt very comfortable pulling it through jumps and high speed cornering. As my first 29'er I like the feel over rough terrain. It's smooth and requires less effort controlling the bike then my 26 stumpy. Weaknesses: So far, not too much. Brakes are a little squeaky, but found heating them up helped clear the noise.

from Detroit, MI Date Reviewed: May 20, 2011 Strengths: I am very impressed with most aspects of the bike. I also haven't weighted it, but I think the first reviewers estimates run a little light. I would guess that it weighs 27-28lbs. Weaknesses: As previously described, the brakes squeaked quite a bit as I broke them in. The juicy 3's work well enough, but the noise was more of a nuisance than anything else. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $10000.00 Purchased At: craigslist Bike Setup: stock + Speedplay Drillium pedals

from Coeur D Alene Date Reviewed: May 14, 2011 Strengths: Super light, haven't weight it yet but I would honestly guess it to be around 20-25lbs. Extremely fast even with an all terrain tire. Shifts very well. Brakes are incredible, I'm 260lbs and they stop me on a dime. Low gear is strong and the high gear is a blast on downhills. Fast on pavement for commuting and fast on the trails! Weaknesses: The brakes have a downside, the G2 rotors are super loud when they break in. But I'm ok with that. Also under hard braking the top of the wheel seems to pull towards the fork. Could be a truing issue but I just had them trued. It isn't bad but noticeable. I got lucky, as I spent 1450, but the price for a HD that isn't a stumpjumper seems a bit high, so I'm not giving it a 5, only reason. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: ID Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $1450.00 Purchased At: Two Wheeler Dealer Similar Products Used: Multiple generations of Rockhoppers. Kona HD's and FS bikes. Bike Setup: SPD pedals, front and rear fenders.
