2011 Specialized Hardrock

[RizzleMan123]

Right ive watched this video lik 50 times in a row now im going to hav to buy it :)

[kelzzycoster]

i want a bike to ride trails/road... which would be better for that the rockhopper or the hard rock

suggestions would be helpful thanks!

[muchoburrito]

@kelzzycoster I just sold my hardrock to a friend and bought a rockhopper and I'm more satisfied with the rockhopper because it has a lighter frame and better quality derailers. I've had that hardrock for 6 years and took it to hell and back and still works very well. ( I only sold it to my friend because I needed the money for a bigger sized frame )

[samg9022]

@kelzzycoster for the money there both great, but i would recommend upgrading the fork on the hardrock depending on what your doing because its a bit crap

[samg9022]

from a buyers perspective is this a good bike ?

[xIIsAsIIx]

@samg9022 it is a good bike, got a hardrock pro myself and take it to the trails at least 2-3 times a week. However, the stock fork is pretty poor so that was upgraded to a Rockshox Reba RLT pretty quickly. Also, the tyres are not very good if you want to take it anywhere near mud so I'd get a set of Maxxis if you were serious about getting the bike and think about a set of pedals as well :)

[samg9022]

@xIIsAsIIx thanks im hopefully buying this at christmas !

[potatomanjr]

@DRTrampboy123 still riding it? Should invest in a better bike if your going to race this is just a entry level bike. They are all heavy and you will put to much money into it to make it light. My personal favorite bike companies are Yeti Niner or cannondale depending on which one you get (lefty)

[netix75]

I bought this bike yesterday for 550 euros !

It's a great bike ! nothing to compare with 26" !

You ride fast and you can make long distances !

[VladTrof95]

@netix75 is the fork good?

[netix75]

@VladTrof95

yes indeed !!!

[VladTrof95]

@netix75 what about the gears? i've read some review and they said they're chain fell off a couple of times, is that true?

[netix75]

@VladTrof95

where did you read that??? i have no problem with my gears ! this bike worth it ! 

[potatomanjr]

@VladTrof95 Its not gears that cause the chain to fall off its improper shifting or the chain is to long for the bike or the cables have stretched out not a big problem but I suggest saving your money and buying a stunt jumper if you want a good bike.

[VladTrof95]

@potatomanjr Im saying this because the bike i have right now is really crappy and if ur on 2 gear on the front sometimes when u switch to 3rd it jumps out side of the 3rd cassette making it hard to put the chain back because of my chain guard, so i always leave the front gear on 3rd lol i was just wondering if this bike had that problem cuz of some reviews i've read

[potatomanjr]

@VladTrof95 No it is not the bike I forgot to add that you will need to adjust the front deraluire. I for one dont have to do this since I race/ ride Single Speed haha. Take it by your local bike shop and have them look at it. It could be a matter of adjusting the derailure.

[ViVaLaPRINCE]

i want one !

[MrKieranwalsh]

I hopefuly should be getting the didc

[IFraggerProductions]

*hardcock

[sporty04]

Have an 03 that has a few battle scars but it rides nice

[iNeedYouRightNow1]

i've got one and i did like 140km yesterday and the whole ride was a joy

[Webster11144445]

Getting ready to upgrade my fork to a 150-200mm if it is possible :) Downhill session on a hardtail = success!

[DRTrampboy123]

i did my first race on my hardrock acouple weeks ago and it is the best present i've ever got!!! thumbs up if you agree :)

[MartinDF]

@DRTrampboy123 Can you give examples of what presents you've gotten for comparison? I find it hard to agree if I don't have any background.

[TheYahtzeeClub]

so im thinking about buying on but will it hold up to big jumps and drops? i ride motocross so i plan on jumping this thing pretty big. also like the 2005 version looks kinda like a stronger frame while this kinda looks like crusier bike

[RaHrR1]

rite am new to this stuff , what are stanchions???

[BSboarder189]

Put metal pedals on. mine broke within 2 months

[DRTrampboy123]

@BSboarder189 get some clips :)

[luiscanalazul]

[MrMexicanZombie]

im a fat arse at 6'2 300lbs and this bike is taking the abuse like a champ. at the price point it sits at its gotta be one of the better values in bikes period.

[luckymoamoa]

this was recorded right by my house!

san jose california fortini entrance OH EM GEE

[NoiseMostBeautiful]

Very nice bike, copper and white 29" with disks. I love mine, give it a ride, you'll see why. Have fun guys.

[ngoziroots]

bought the Hardrock Disc Pro 2011 in January ... absolute blinding bike, 27 speed, hydraulic disc brakes not cable, red & white .. ya beauty !!!

[yumberri]

screw all this fancy talk dammit. : D

[TheFreakoutteam]

buy a p-bike, a bighit, an sx trail or an demo but not this :D

[CRDT]

@ReconHHC Okay thanks. A friend of mine said the same thing. The stock wheels are heavy according to him.

[emeangel86]

ejejjej yo tengo una pero es la negra con los dibujos verdes y los componentes estan cambiados y esta very coool

[CRDT]

I just bought one of these the other day. Great bike except for the stock handlebar. Got a Truvativ Stylo mid-rise bar with an Uno stem. Also just put a Suntour Epicon fork. Great budget bike. Can't wait to get it on the trails.

[DRTrampboy123]

that is the bike to buy!

[Deuskex]

thumbs up if you bought one!

[Re4cTiV3]

is it better than p1 am ?

[MichaelsRCVids]

I'm getting back into MTB after a 12 years without a bike.

I got myself a HardRock Sport Disc 29er and i love it.

[samg0718]

I have a '99 and is very beat up and rusted but works like a champ.

[eturnal808]

Just got mine yesterday . Silver/blk /disc. Had the 05 Hardrock sport. This year is alot lighter.

[MegaTutorialTV101]

[CartubeloS]

[tservasi]

Hardrock disc I have the best bike..!!! 480€ in Greece..!!!

[redmum57]

[ChristianPetrovskiTV]

im buying a sport disc one this week:) cant wait but i just have to say that the fork sux so im gonna replace it with a suntour xcr or rockshox dart 1, or manitou match if i can find one :)

[YuusaiMONSTARR]

Will buy one tomorrow, i think i have the same xD!

[J1COOLTOOL]

the 29ers are out in ireland

[GrandmasMan]

I didn't know aluminum could corrode ??

[fsxflyboy]

Are those brakes hydraulic?

[krisspacker1995]

@fsxflyboy no, compound mechanical brakes.

[ZachmanTheFisherman]

@redbird963 how do you like it i found one at my local bike shop and think i want it, but i have to save up to get it if you could respond ASAP that would be great

[sebmooc7]

Bought that bike yesterday, it's so sick. It looks really nice, runs really smooth and is relatively cheap compared to other bikes and is like the cheapest of the specialized. So if anyone is thinking of getting this...do.

[redbird963]

I have a hardrock in black/punk... looks kewl

[sebmooc7]

Thats the bike I am buying, looks sick!

[Richkill]

P1 AM is just as good :)

[mobius1ace5]

Man I wish my Hardrock was like the new ones, I have an '03 and its so stiff compared to the new ones...
