Description
The 2022 Specialized Chisel Hardtail Mountain Bike in Satin Smoke has been purpose-built to tackle modern cross country trails and race courses with the utmost speed. It shares many of the same modern features as it’s the pro level Epic race bike, but in a more budget-friendly package. It is one of most efficient and capable alloy hardtails out there. It climbs like a dream and excels at tight and twisty woodland singletrack.The Chisel's all-new frame utilizes Specialized’s D'Aluisio Smartweld technology that moves the hydroformed tube joints away from the areas of the highest stress, making the finished frame's balance of strength, rigidity, and weight more pronounced. This not only makes the Chisel one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames out there at 1,350g, but it also allows for tuned frame stiffness across all sizes. The new Chisel also houses all of the modern features that you expect from an XC bike, like Progressive XC Geometry with a 68-degree headtube angle and longer reach, internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, boost spacing, 30.9mm dropper post compatibility, and 1x-only drivetrains.The base model Chisel comes with a 100mm travel RockShox Judy Silver fork, 12 speed SRAM SX Eagle gearing and SRAM Level T brakes. Tubeless ready rims and a dropper post compatible frame offer an easy route for upgrades.This bike is perfect forBudding XC racers or trail riders who want a fast bike for covering a lot of ground and smashing Strava KOMs.Key FeaturesLightweight aluminium frame with modern progressive XC geometry100mm travel RockShox Judy Silver fork (80mm travel on XS size)1 x 12 speed SRAM SX Eagle gearing and SRAM Level T hydraulic brakes
