Specialized Chisel Base Shimano: The Lightest, Fastest Alloy Full Suspension Bike
The Specialized Chisel Base Shimano is the ultimate alloy full suspension bike, crafted for trail riders who demand speed, performance, and efficiency. With a design inspired by the World Cup-ready Epic 8, the Chisel offers an unbeatable combination of light weight, unmatched capability, and incredible pedaling efficiency. Whether you’re racing or tackling technical trails, this bike lets you go faster, smoother, and longer than ever before.
Key Benefits for Riders
Unmatched Lightness and Strength
Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel boasts the lightest aluminum XC frame in its class, 18.4% lighter than the closest competitor. This frame features precisely engineered tube shapes that offer stiffness where it matters for efficiency, and compliance where you need it for comfort. The result? A bike that is both light and durable, allowing you to go farther and faster without compromise.
Performance That Shines
With 110mm of Ride Dynamics tuned suspension and advanced geometry inspired by the Epic 8, the Chisel excels in technical terrain. The bike's progressive suspension kinematics and fine-tuned geometry ensure the bike can handle everything from smooth singletrack to rough, rocky sections with unmatched control. It’s a bike that makes the tough trails feel easy.
Pedaling Efficiency for Maximum Speed
Chisel’s design makes it the most efficient pedaling bike in its class, ensuring every watt you put into the pedals is transformed into forward motion. The steep seat tube angle optimizes your position for powerful pedaling, while anti-squat technology reduces pedal-bob, letting you maintain speed and stability even on challenging climbs.
Smoother Suspension, Faster Rides
The Chisel’s flex stay rear end design eliminates the extra weight and maintenance associated with traditional suspension pivots, while still delivering class-leading performance. With this design, the bike delivers the efficiency, control, and lightweight handling more commonly found in carbon bikes, but at a fraction of the cost.
Advanced Hydroformed Alloy for Durability
The frame is crafted from hydroformed alloy, which allows for a lighter, stronger frame. The one-piece hydroformed seat tube integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and bottom bracket shell, shaving off unnecessary weight while enhancing the overall strength and durability of the bike.
Why Choose the Specialized Chisel Base Shimano?
For riders who demand the best in performance, efficiency, and weight, the Chisel Base Shimano is the perfect choice. Whether you're racing, trail riding, or just pushing your limits, this bike's advanced design, efficient suspension, and lightweight frame make it a top contender in the world of mountain bikes.
