The Specialized Chisel redefines what’s possible from an alloy full-suspension mountain bike. Sharing its geometry, suspension kinematics, and race-winning DNA with the World Cup-proven Epic 8, the Chisel delivers speed, efficiency, and capability that punches well above its price tag. In fact, it's the lightest alloy full-suspension bike in its class, built for riders who want serious XC performance without stepping into carbon-bike territory. At the heart of the Chisel is Specialized’s D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, creating an exceptionally lightweight and responsive frame by strategically shaping and strengthening the alloy exactly where it's needed. The result is impressive pedalling efficiency, confident handling, and a ride quality that feels remarkably smooth on rough terrain. With 110mm of Ride Dynamics-tuned rear suspension paired to a 120mm RockShox Recon fork, the Chisel stays composed through roots, rocks, and technical trail features while maintaining the efficiency XC riders demand. A TranzX dropper post and SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain complete a package that's equally at home on race day or fast local trail laps. Lightweight. Fast. Built to go harder.
