The Chisel Comp is the lightest and fastest full-suspension cross-country bike ever made. It is 18.4% lighter than its nearest competitor, delivering noticeably intense performance. Thanks to the advanced kinematics and geometry of the Epic 8, combined with the innovative D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, riders can excel on speed sections or simply enjoy an incredible time on their local trails. SPEED METAL: D’Aluisio Smartweld gives the Chisel not just its lightweight, but also its unmatched handling and riding characteristics. Every aluminum tube has been specifically shaped for its position in the frame and features varying wall thicknesses. This allows for strategic control of stiffness and compliance for enhanced efficiency, comfort, and control. PROGRESSIVE METALCORE: The Chisel features 110 mm of rear suspension travel within the Ride Dynamics Tune and shares a lineage with the Epic 8, our race machine for the World Cup. It inherits performance features such as advanced kinematics, suspension with Ride Dynamics Tune, and the progressive geometry refined for World Cup racing. The Chisel handles diverse terrain effortlessly, instilling confidence for riders to take on challenges. POWER METAL: The Chisel surprises with incredible pedaling efficiency thanks to the geometry and kinematics derived from our World Cup-winning Epic 8. This makes it the most efficient full-suspension aluminum XC bike available. The steep seat angle positions riders centrally on the bike for optimal power transfer, while the perfected anti-squat reduces pedal bob. The Chisel converts every watt at the pedals into maximum acceleration. GROOVE METAL: We have equipped the Chisel with flexible stays for maximum suspension performance. This, combined with the weight-saving D’Aluisio Smartweld design, significantly reduces the maintenance needs of the rear end. Extensive field and lab tests have shown that the Chisel achieves the impossible. While flexible stays have traditionally been exclusive to carbon bikes, the Chisel, with its specially shaped aluminum, competes effortlessly in terms of efficiency, control, and low weight. NO HEAVY METAL: The Chisel features a hydroformed seat tube that integrates the pivot point of the rocker, the main pivot, and, innovatively, the bottom bracket shell. This design saves both material and weight compared to traditional bikes, where pivot points and bottom bracket shells are welded onto the seat tube.
