for the ride of your life

If you're just thinking of getting into MTB for fun, fitness, adventure or all of the above then you need look no further than this timeless classic from Specialized.

The Hardrock is a brand almost on its own and is the place many aspiring dirt lovers turn to when they need a truly reliable machine they can trust.

The 'Rock's frame has superb geometry for trail riding. Its agile yet comfy if you want to go exploring for hours with the hydration pack.

This is a real bargain too for anyone just wanting a great hardtail to get around on or even make the daily commute on....with a grin of course.
