Chisel Comp 2026

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 outstanding performance on every ride. SPEED METAL: Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel boasts the lightest XC aluminum frame in its class. Every frame tube is highly manipulated and features differentiated wall thicknesses and profiles that provide stiffness where it counts—for efficiency, vibration absorption, comfort and optimal control. CAPABILITY: With 110mm travel suspension tuned with 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, Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension and progressive geometry refined on World Cup technical terrain are all 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 on the pedals into maximum forward movement. SMOOTHER IS FASTER: We engineered the Flex Stay seatstays so suspension sits at the top of the class while eliminating the extra weight and maintenance of pivot points used by traditional designs. Rigorous field and lab testing proved the Chisel achieved the impossible: the efficiency, control and lightweight nature of Flex Stay design—common on carbon bikes—with advanced alloy. HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The hydroformed seat tube in one piece includes the headtube bearings and bottom bracket shell, versus a traditional alloy bike where the two components are welded together. That way, the Chisel sheds even more material and weight.
