    Good Points: frame

    Bad Points: Rims, hubs. Bent the rear hub on the first big hit.

    General comments: Frame holds nicely on the Specialized Hardrock Mountain Bike.

    The Specialised Hardrock mountain bike is a great bike for the money would defo recommend. Comes with suntour Forks which are surprisingly good. An over all great bike which you can upgrade easily even comes with a proper threadless headset, so no messing about when changing stem / forks. Specialized bikes are a high standard and you're mainly paying for the frame, which will last you for ages. Also if you look online you can always find the previous yr model for a bargain.

    The frame is so good that it's worth buying this bike and upgrading the weak point. Mine has Rock Shox Tora 318 forks and handles really well thanks to this upgrade. It's a good entry level bike and is fun to upgrade - I fitted a Syncros stem and a Raceface Evolve flat bar and this made the bike a lot lighter.

    The Specialized Hardrock rides nice with recon forks, hope brakes, hope hoops, maxxis high rolllers its pimped and up there. Its got a really good frame, reasonable entry level component and for the price there is nothing bad worth memtioning.

    Its really on the bad side of hardtail technology. I think that everything about this bike is bad. I cannot find anyone who sells spare parts for it. Everything seems to be oversized and to be honest, its jsut not a good bike to ride.

    Specialized hardrock is a great bike, nice solid light weight construction and a nice design. Its a a great starter bike for mountain biking and a pretty good price, very nice looking bike.when i first got this bike the shifting was a bit stiff but will get better over time.breaks are strong and nice big tyres. Overall awesome mountain bike for the money a highly recommend it to the beginner or pro.

    The Specialized Hardrock mountain bike is a really good bike and for the money you wont find better value, depending where you get it of course. The looks, the weight, the size and the ride comfort are all perfect. I really like the brakes as well, they are so sharp. There is literally nothing bad about this bike.

    This is a great all around bike. I've been using this bike off the rack and it has served me well on both urban and trail rides. It can handle around 2-ft jumps. The only problem I have encountered so far is the miss shifts on the cranks. The crankset sucks but nothing a minor upgrade won't fix.

    Been getting great use out of this for some time. Feels light and solid. No better bike for the money in my opinion.

    Been using a Specialized Hardrock for my daily commute for some time now without any problems. Obviously the quality doesn't match that of a £1000 bike but for reasonable use it can't really be faulted.

    Have had my Hardrock mountain bike for some time now. To enjoy the bikes full potential, you need to upgrade a bit. (Gears, seat, etc.) Great starter bike.

    After looking around for a couple of months at most of the other brands, and wanting a bike within my pretty limited budget, meant that picking this up for £249 (as it had £50 off the rrp) I am well pleased. I took it up to my local mountain biking circuit the next day and was amazed how it handles the decents, climbs and drop offs. The only gripe I have is that I'm going to have to put a strip of outdoor sellotape on the top tube as I recon the cable is going to rub away the lovel ...
