Does anyone have the specs for the '06 Rockhopper base model? Specialized's website isn't fully updated for '06 yet.

Specialized's website shows the '05 base model with a Deore RD. I went to the LBS and saw their '06 base model and remember seeing SRAM-SX or something like that on the RD.

Does anyone know if that's better than Deore?

hey dude im in same sitaution as you, i been lookin into the 06 with very limited info, as far as i can tell is the 06 is in red and black which i like better, the fork has a lockout which is a plus, even though no info on the j3, i hear its new name for the judy though, maybe? and the shifters are bottom of the line on sram website, and are same as ones on the 600$ hardrock comp, so im guessing they should be as good as deore maybe, i read a thread on mtbr, that they are upgradeing to x7 though for the rockhopper, i hope thats true..

Why not go to the website?

Please re-read the second sentence of the OP's question.

Yup, their website only shows the Rockhopper Pro Disc. The other RH trims aren't on the website yet.

Its a UK site so I don't know if the euro spec is different. Is there no US retailer with an online description.
