Introducing Specialized Chisel, the lightest alloy full suspension mountain bike. Engineered for speed and efficiency with advanced suspension and hydroformed alloy construction. Conquer any trail with confidence and control.

The World’s Lightest, Fastest Alloy Full Suspension Bike

At 18.4% lighter than the closest competitor, the Chisel takes XC racing performance to new heights. With geometry and kinematics inspired by our Epic 8—the World Cup-ready race machine—this all-new alloy bike is built for speed and control, whether you're charging hard through a race or hitting your local trails for quick, thrilling laps.

SPEED METAL

Thanks to D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, the Chisel features the lightest aluminum XC frameset in its class. Each frame tube is carefully shaped with varying wall thicknesses to achieve the perfect balance: stiffness where you need it for maximum efficiency, and compliance where you want it for smooth, comfortable handling.

UNMATCHED CAPABILITY

With 110mm of Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension, the Chisel inherits its high-performance pedigree directly from the Epic 8. Drawing from advanced suspension kinematics, progressive geometry, and World Cup-tested design, this bike offers confidence and speed on a wide range of terrains—whether you're racing or tackling technical trails.

INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY

The Chisel is the most efficient pedalling bike in its class, thanks to geometry and kinematics borrowed from our Epic 8 World Cup machine. A steep seat tube angle puts you in the perfect pedalling position, while anti-squat technology minimises pedal bob. The result? Every watt you put into the pedals gets translated into forward motion—no energy wasted.

SMOOTHER IS FASTER

A flex-stay rear end delivers class-leading suspension performance while cutting down on the extra weight and maintenance of traditional pivot-based designs. While typically found on carbon bikes, the Chisel brings the efficiency and lightness of flex-stay technology to advanced alloy, combining the best of both worlds: efficiency, control, and low weight.

HYDROFORMED ALLOY

The Chisel takes weight-saving to the next level with a one-piece hydroformed seat tube that integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and bottom bracket shell into a unified design. This eliminates extra welds, reducing both weight and complexity compared to traditional frame designs.


SPEC HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Frame: D’Aluisio Smartweld hydroformed tubes, engineered tube junctions, Flip Chip geo adjust, 110mm travel
  • Fork: RockShox Recon 120mm with Motion Control Damper for smooth, responsive handling
  • Rear Shock: Ride Dynamics Tuned X-Fusion shock for a controlled, efficient ride
  • Dropper Post: TranzX for adjustable saddle height on the fly
  • Drivetrain: SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed for reliable shifting and gear range

The Chisel offers unmatched performance, efficiency, and lightweight handling for riders who demand the best in XC racing or all-around trail riding. This bike is ready to push your limits—on the course or out on the trail.

Unlock a cost-effective way to own the bike of your dreams through the Cycle to Work Scheme. This initiative, available to employees in the UK, lets you enjoy the benefits of cycling while saving on your bike purchase.

With the Cycle to Work Scheme, you can use your pre-tax salary to acquire a brand-new bicycle and essential cycling accessories. This means significant savings for you, as your salary sacrifice reduces both your income tax and National Insurance contributions.
