Alot has been mentioned in this thread about the rockhopper being more of a XC bike than a hardrock. What is it about the rockhopper bike that makes this so, and what is it about the Hardrock that makes it such a great all round bike.

Also, looking at the hardrock it appears to have a very small looking cockpit. Is this the case or is it just me, I'll be going to try one probably this weekend, but just wondered what those who own one think.
