Mountain bikes are your proper off road machine, the biking equivalent
of a Landrover or Jeep, not just a bike pretending to be one!
For these bikes we stock products from Specialized and Giant. The bikes listed below are carried in stock, however please check out the manufacturers sites (By clicking their company logo) to see their full range which we can easily order and obtain if you wish. 
 The Hardrock '09 range (Available from August 2008) - are entry level machines, but using tried and tested components are reliable for off-road use or for riders wanting a solid bike for a multitude of uses.
The Hardrock sport range is available for 2009 in Black with gold or White with red/black graphics, for this year the frame weight has been reduced by 20% to give the Hardrock family a true cross country feel again, the Sport has 24 speed Sram S4 transmission using a strong Suntour chainset, strong Specialized rims made by Alex with Shimano rear cassette hubs, 'V' brakes, Specialized HardPack tyres, Body Geometry saddles and Suntour 100mm travel suspension forks. Sizes available, 13", 15", 17", 19", 21" and 23". This is the UK's best selling Off-roader at this price point! £299.
Also available with Avid BB5 Mechanical disc brakes is the Hardrock Sport Disc in Black or Red selling at £369. This keeps the same high strength spec as the Sport but gains disc specific rims. Available in 13", 15", 17", 19" and 21".
Moving up to a full Shimano 24 speed transmission, the Hardrock Comp at £399, looks classy in its silver livery, with quality wheels and 100mm travel suspension forks with lock-out, a real all-round entry level cross country bike.

Next from Specialized is the Rockhopper Range of bikes. The geometry and componetry on these bikes make them more suited for the more experienced rider who needs a higher performing machine.
