Specialized Hardrock?

[mtb_4_me]

Hi im new 2 mtb and i was just wondering wat use think of the Specialized Hardrocks and the price range.
P.s. I'm into dirt jumping and a bit of urban :o

[bazza]

i dont know about the hardrocks but i would say save at least a grand and have a look at the mongoose range of hardtail dirt jumpers. you can get one with half decent forks (marz mx) and cable discs for like 900 bucks or something and the frames are fairly bloody strong. either that or save even more money and get a kona stuff or a norco freeride hardtail. its way cheaper buying quality first up than buying shit and upgrading all the time.

Yer i waz lookin at kona so yer but im not sure yet. I gotta hurry coz me mate juz got a sassy(blitzim).

[sawtell]

i dont mind the hard rocks, i was rideing with someone in the city last weekend on one he had conerted to singlespeed, it was real nice.. but price wise you could pick up a far better bike if you hunted around for a while..?

[Kammy]

the hardrock sport is ok for a while if you get the right frame size i have one and love it with new forks. the 15 inch frame is the best frame for dj and urban but the forks will need upgrading pretty soon

[blitzem]

yer guys this is my mate and he needs help bad, he is looking more into a kona stuff. which i rekon is the way to go.

n e way now to paying off my sassy.

cheers, phil

yeah the frames are bloody strong, fork upgrades would be needed after a while. but they are good bike to start off on and jump.

[Kammy]

yeah redpill is right they are a budget entry bike with plenty of upgrades available if you want to

[roffle]

For around that price range (if memory serves me correctly 859 ish?) you could possibly look at the STP2. The difference in price is not that great and it comes much better spec'd.

[Kammy]

roffle how how much is the stp range if you know

[roffle]

1050 for the STP2
and
1500 ish? for the STP1

There are a heap of threads on them..

[RedPill]

are the stp's our yet but???

[roffle]

yes..

[Kammy]

ok thanks mate

[cheese]

Also there is the Norco Ryde, thats about $1000 im pretty sure. Or you could try the for sale forums, theres always good deals in there.

ummm i dont know about price differences but i live in the usa and at some bike shops here the p3 is $1100 and the cannondale chase is $1100 both very nicely equipped (both with dj's) i think it would be more in aus tho...
