Everything You Need with Your Chisel

Specialized Chisel Trail Mountain Bike
The Specialized Chisel Trail Mountain Bike is the lightest, fastest alloy full-suspension bike in its class. At 18.4% lighter than its closest competitor, the Chisel combines the geometry and kinematics from the World Cup-ready Epic 8, offering exceptional performance whether you're racing or tearing through local trails.
Key Benefits for Riders
Lightweight Performance for Every Ride
Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel features the lightest aluminum XC frame in its category. This advanced process manipulates the frame tubes to create stiffness where it matters for efficiency, while providing compliance where it's needed for comfort and control, making the Chisel an agile and responsive ride.
Optimized Suspension for Unmatched Capability
With 110mm of Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension, the Chisel brings the high-performance pedigree of the Epic 8 to the trail. Drawing on the World Cup-inspired suspension kinematics and progressive geometry from the Epic 8, the Chisel handles a wide range of terrain with confidence, whether you're racing or riding for fun.
Efficiency that Translates to Speed
Designed with the geometry and kinematics from the Epic 8, the Chisel is the most efficient pedaling bike in its class. The steep seat tube puts you in the optimal position for power transfer, while anti-squat technology minimizes pedal bob, converting every watt you put into the pedals into forward motion, ensuring maximum efficiency on the trail.
Smooth Suspension, Less Weight
The Chisel uses a flex-stay rear end, providing class-leading suspension performance without the weight and maintenance of traditional pivot designs. The flex stay design, typically found on carbon bikes, gives the Chisel the lightweight and control advantages of a more expensive frame while maintaining the durability of alloy.
Hydroformed Alloy for Maximum Durability
The Chisel’s hydroformed alloy frame is engineered to be both strong and light. By incorporating the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and bottom bracket shell into a single piece, this innovative design reduces weight while enhancing durability, setting the Chisel apart from other alloy bikes.
Why Choose the Specialized Chisel Trail Mountain Bike?
Perfect for riders seeking a high-performance, lightweight mountain bike, the Chisel delivers incredible speed, control, and efficiency across a variety of terrains. Whether you're racing or riding for fun, the Chisel’s advanced suspension, geometry, and lightweight design ensure you can handle any challenge with confidence and ease.
