The all-new Chisel 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 the most efficient & capable alloy hardtail out there. This Chisel comes specd with SRAMs tried & true SX Eagle 1x 12 speed drivetrain & Level T hydraulic disc brakes a Rock Shox Judy Silver fork & 25mm internal width alloy wheels wrapped in 2.35 Fast Track Control casing tires.
The Chisels all-new frame utilizes our DAluisio Smartweld technology that moves the hydroformed tube joints away from the areas of the highest stress making the finished frames 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 out there at 1350g 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.
