Specialized has been at pains to keep the Rockhopper Comp's wheels firmly planted in the broadest sense of XC, mainly to appeal to a broad sector of riders.
Ride quality of the aluminium frame
Sensibly specced handlebar width and stem length
Low level spec for the price
Brake and gear shifters difficult to set up perfectly

The Rockhopper has a tapered head tube, which is good news for anyone who wants to upgrade the slightly disappointing SR Suntour XCM fork fitted to the front of the bike.
