Chisel 2025

Description

The Chisel is the lightest dual-suspension alloy bike in the world. It's 18.4% lighter than comparable models in its category and thanks to the kinematics and geometry of its bigger sister Epic 8, the Chisel delivers excellent performance on every ride. SPEED METAL: Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel boasts the lightest XC aluminum frame in its class. Every tube of the frame is highly manipulated and features differentiated thicknesses and profiles that deliver stiffness where it counts—for efficiency, vibration dampening, comfort and optimal control. CAPABILITY: With 110mm travel suspension tuned Ride Dynamics, the Chisel's performance pedigree traces directly back to the Epic 8, our World Cup racing machine. The advanced suspension kinematics DNA of the Epic 8, the Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension and the progressive geometry refined on World Cup technical terrain can all be found in the Chisel, making it more than capable of handling diverse terrain with confidence and speed. EFFICIENCY: The Chisel is the most efficient bike in its category, thanks to the geometry and kinematics developed for the Epic 8. The advanced seat tube positions you in an optimal pedaling position. Optimized anti-squat reduces pedal-bob. Put it all together and you'll see how the Chisel translates every watt at the pedals into maximum forward movement. SMOOTHER IS FASTER: We engineered the Flex Stay stays so the suspension would be at the top of its class while eliminating the extra weight and maintenance of the pivot joints used in traditional design. Rigorous field and lab testing proved the Chisel achieved the impossible: the efficiency, control and lightweight design of Flex Stay—common on carbon bikes—with advanced alloy. HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The hydroformed seat tube in one piece includes the bearing seat and bottom bracket shell, versus a traditional alloy bike where the two components are welded. This way, the Chisel shaves additional material and weight.
