Specialized Chisel Comp Shimano - Blue

The new Specialized Chisel is the lightest alloy dual-suspension bike in the world. It is 18.4% lighter than similar models in its category and, thanks to the kinematics and geometry of its bigger sister, the Epic 8, the Chisel delivers excellent performance on every ride. With D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel boasts the lightest XC aluminum frame in its category. Each tube of the frame is highly manipulated and features differentiated thicknesses and profiles that provide stiffness where needed, for efficiency, vibration absorption, comfort, and optimal control. With 110mm of travel suspension tuned by Ride Dynamics, the Chisel's performance pedigree can be traced directly back to the Epic 8, the World Cup racing machine. The advanced suspension kinematics DNA of the Epic 8, the Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension, and the progressive geometry refined on the technical World Cup trails can all be found in the Chisel, making it more than capable of handling various terrains with confidence and speed. The Chisel is the most efficient bike in its category, thanks to the geometry and kinematics developed for the Epic 8. The advanced seat tube positions the rider in an optimal pedaling position. The optimized anti-squat reduces pedal-bob. Put it all together, and you'll understand how the Chisel translates every watt on the pedals into maximum forward motion. Specialized has designed the Flex Stay stays so that the suspension is at the top of its category while simultaneously eliminating the extra weight and maintenance of the pivots used in traditional designs. Extensive field and lab testing have shown that the Chisel has achieved the impossible: efficiency, control, and the lightness of the Flex Stay design – common on carbon bikes – with advanced alloy. The hydroformed one-piece seat tube includes the bearing seat and the bottom bracket, compared to a traditional alloy bike where the two components are welded. Thus, the Chisel sheds additional material and weight.
