    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 ...

    Had bike for 6 months upgraded the wheels to halo combats running full sram x-9 gears and avid r v-brakes and must say it flies whatever you do on it solid frame and components on it will upgrade to avid juicy 5 disc brakes eventually

    Bought this just over a year ago, a Specialized Hard Rock Sport 07 (the distressed army look). I should have bought a dirt jump bike instead, but the HR Sport handles everything okay. The only issue I've had were the crappy metal stock pedals which I have swaped for sealed bearings platform FPDs which hold my foot in place a lot better when I jump.I bought this because I liked the look of it and I'm told the frame (alloy) is one of the best in the industry, beating hands down more expensive bike ...

    I purchased my Hard Rock specialized in 2001 and use it strictly with road tires on pavement for my workouts. I'm 62 years old and weigh 175lbs and typically bike between 60-100 miles per week. In that time period I have had the frame brake twice, one of the cranks broke, both wheels had to be replaced. Of course I expect things like the chain, pedals and the de-railer to fail during that period of time but certainly not the frame. The only things that haven't failed were the de-railer and t ...

    I am not a huge fan of the Specialized Hardrock mountain bike, the frame it pretty good, its quite hard and tough but other than that there is not much else to say about it

    Good bike. Nice bike good for entry level people who are just getting into mtb and learning mtb skills. I found that the front forks were pretty bad though.

    This is a fun bike to ride. i've tried it on soft dirt, packed dirt, knobs, tree roots, gravelly loops, water filled loops, switch backs up and down, over grass, attacked steep hills. i'm planning to get a full suspension bike next year but i dont see myself ever getting rid of my sport. if not, i'll just upgrade small parts here or there. like a new saddle, bar ends, etc.

    Great Bike! The Specialized Hardrock runs very smoothly. I had some trouble when shifting gears on one occasion but other than that its a great bike.

    I bought my Specialized Hardrock 18 months ago and it has been brilliant, it handles anything I can throw at it. it is great out on the trails, it grips and stops very well and it is good for going round town too. It has taken a few big crashes but it refuses to break. I have buckled the rear wheel once through misjudging when to jump up kerbs but that is mainly my fault. Overall it is a great bike and I would recommend it to anyone.
