The Specialized Chisel Comp is a groundbreaking alloy full-suspension mountain bike, renowned for being the lightest and fastest in its class. It leverages the advanced geometry and kinematics of the World Cup-ready Epic 8 mountain bike, making it an ideal choice for both racing and solo trail rides.
Key Features:
- Frame Design and Material: The Chisel Comp boasts the lightest aluminum XC frameset in its class, thanks to D’Aluisio Smartweld technology. This technology features highly-manipulated frame tubes with continuously-varied wall thicknesses and shaping, delivering stiffness for efficiency and compliance for comfort and optimal control.
- Suspension and Capability: Equipped with 110mm of Ride Dynamics tuned suspension, the Chisel inherits advanced suspension kinematics and progressive geometry from the Epic 8. This makes it highly capable of handling varied terrain with confidence and speed.
- Efficiency: The Chisel is designed for incredible pedaling efficiency, utilizing geometry and kinematics from the Epic 8 platform. The steep seat tube positions the rider in the optimal pedaling position, and honed anti-squat reduces pedal-bob, translating every watt into maximum forward motion.
- Suspension Performance: Features a flex stay rear end for class-leading suspension performance, eliminating the extra weight and maintenance associated with traditional pivot designs. This design is typically found on carbon bikes but has been successfully implemented in advanced alloy.
- Hydroformed Alloy Construction: The Chisel uses a one-piece hydroformed seat tube that integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and BB shell, reducing extra material and weight.
- Fork and Rear Shock: Comes with RockShox's SID 120mm fork featuring the Rush Damper and a Ride Dynamics Tuned RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock, providing superior suspension performance.
- Drivetrain and Brakes: Equipped with a SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur and powerful hydraulic disc brakes, ensuring smooth gear shifts and reliable stopping power.
- Dropper Post: Features a TranzX dropper post for added versatility and control on technical trails.
- Geometry Adjustability: Includes a flip chip geo adjust, allowing riders to fine-tune the bike's geometry to suit their riding style and terrain.
