Side-question: How much tougher overall is the Specialized Hardrock Sport during drops compared to the Specialized Rockhopper? The heavy Hardrock is torture to take long rides up hills so I might trade it in while I can for a lighter Rockhopper, if my bike shops allows since they said I can refund within 2-weeks of purchase.
What do you mean what happens? It breaks.....thats what happens.....



Side reply:Uhhh....neither bike is meant for drops. The hardrock isnt going to be much heavier than a rockhopper. Suck it up....my bike weighs 50 lbs.

And yes......7 foot drops would be considered abuse on a xc bike, and you will probably break something.
