The 2021 Specialized Chisel Hardtail Mountain Bike in Satin Gloss Smoke/ Tarmac Black has been purpose-built to tackle modern cross country trails & race courses with the utmost speed. In fact, it shares many of the same modern features as its Epic Hardtail sibling, but in a more budget-friendly package—making it one of the most efficient & capable alloy hardtail out there. 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, & weight more pronounced than any alloy frame in history. This not only makes the Chisel one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames coming in as light as 1, 400g, 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 & longer reach, internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, boost spacing, 30.9mm dropper post compatibility, & 1x-only drivetrains. This Chisel comes with Shimano's tried & tested Deore 1x 12 speed drivetrain & MT400 hydraulic disc brakes, a Rock Shox Judy Silver fork, & 25mm internal width alloy wheels wrapped in 2.3 Fast Track Control casing tyres. This bike is perfect for Aspiring XC racers or anyone who wants a great value fast & light bike for cross country riding. This bike is great for blasting around your local trail centre or for covering big distances. The simple setup & reliable equipment mean you can use it day in, day out.
