Cross counties on the fastest alloy full-suspension bike right now – the Chisel Comp EVO Mountain Bike from Specialized. Measuring in at 18.4% lighter than its closest competitor, the Chisel Comp EVO is engineered for efficiency and speed – both essential factors for crossing finish lines first or beating personal bests whilst out on the trails. Thanks to D’Aluisio Smartweld, this bike has the most lightweight aluminium frameset of its XC class and progressive geometry combined with its 130mm Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension has been inherited from the world-class mountain bike Epic 8 EVO, showing that it’s a bike to be contended with. The highly-manipulated frame tube features varied wall thickness and shaping to enhance the bike’s stiffness and compliance so you retain total comfort and control throughout your ride, whilst the steep seat tube keeps you in the perfect pedalling position, avoiding pedal-bob and increasing efficiency so you can pedal faster for longer. Adopting a design typical in carbon bikes, the Chisel Comp EVO features a flex stay rear end design, allowing for optimal suspension performance and eliminating weight and maintenance, all whilst being an alloy bike, making it top of the class in control, efficiency and levity. Featuring a SRAM GX Eagle rear derailleur, FOX 34 Performance Elite 130mm suspension and a TranzX dropper post for making those big jumps, the Chisel Comp EVO Mountain Bike is a surefire contender for cross country racing or trail riding adventures alike.
