Specialized Hardrock Disc Hardtail XC 2012

The new 2012 Specialized Hardrock Disc Hardtail XC Mountain Bike follows on from past success, it has a general purpose approach to mountain biking, has a stiff frame, and is supported by a 80mm smooth-travel SR Suntour fork.

The 2012 bike has a fully butted A1 Premium aluminum frame that comes with double Ore down tube. This gives the bike a lighter feels whilst still being strong and durable so it can handle tough terrain and trails easily.

The 2012 Specialized uses their trust Fast Trak LK Sport tyres for the Hardrock, these have a lower rolling resistance and they grip superbly to uneven terrain easily, even when it’s muddy and wet.

It’s true, cycling strips back the years and makes you younger, well, certainly feel younger anyway. Cycling helps with muscle fitness, circulation of blood around the body and helps you to lose weight.
