The Chisel is the perfect bike for anyone looking to take the plunge into XC racing. It embodies all of the qualities youd expect from an XC race bike like light overall weight incredible stiffness & a race-oriented geometry—all with one-by gearing too.PRO-LEVEL PERFORMANCE MADE AFFORDABLEWe asked ourselves “ How do we bring pro-level performance down to a price more riders can afford?” DAluisio Smartweld Technology was the answer. Smartweld allows us to create the most consistent high-strength welds possible while taking full advantage of compliant ultralight alloy tubes.XC-FAST & TRAIL-BIKE CAPABLECross-country courses have grown more technical so why we gave the Chisel a dose of trail bike DNA. The Chisel’s longer top tube shortened head tube & slightly slack front end increase its downhill stability without sacrificing its climbing ability.• Light stiff & durable the premium M5 alloy frame is the perfect racing platform.• Rock Shox Judy Silver 29 fork complete with lockout & adjustable rebound damping.• SRAM’s SX Eagle 1X drivetrain gives you the gearing you need to tackle any climb. Given its light weight & ultra-stiff characteristics M5 aluminum was the natural choice for the Chisel’s frame. & when complemented with our speed-focused XC 29 Geometry DAluisio Smartweld technology & internal cable routing you get a bike that compromises nothing in delivering explosive speed confident handling & hassle-free maintenance. Rocks & bumps are soaked up by the Rock Shox Judy Silver 29 fork.
