Rockhopper Pro Disc 08 or Rockhopper Pro Disc 09

phillai

Is the Rockhopper Pro Disc 09 version worth the £100 more than last years model and is the Rockhopper Pro Disc 09 actually any good?

Come to think of it, anyone have a Rockhopper Pro Disc 09 as yet?

Is it any good?

I'm also looking at the pro. I think the only main upgrade is the brakes but as to how much better they are i dont know.

It seems the 08 models are starting to become thin on the ground so you may not have a choice in a few weeks.
Im not really bothered. My only problem is that i'm 5'8 and cant decide between the 17" and 19"???

From what i've seen from posts on here, 08 Rockhopper Pro's sold out a long time ago (Something to do with the Met Police buying them all)

If you can find one though, go for it over the same specced 09. Only the brakes are different - Juicy 4 compared to Juicy 3. Colour is better on the 08 too imo.

I'm actually selling my 17" 08 Pro pretty soon.

After months of searching what bike to get, I managed to get the last Rockhopper Pro Disc 08 from Evans Cycles website at £899.99! !

I should be getting it tomorrow!

I really can't wait!

Juicy 4s? Avid's bringing in a lot of new kit for 09.
