Frame Chisel 2025

Description

The Chisel is the lightest full-suspension alloy mountain bike in the world. It's 18.4% lighter than similar models in its category and thanks to the kinematics and geometry of its bigger sibling 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 thicknesses and profiles that deliver stiffness where it counts—for efficiency, vibration damping, comfort and optimal control. CAPABILITY: With 110mm-travel suspension tuned with Ride Dynamics, the Chisel's performance pedigree traces directly back to Epic 8, our World Cup race machine. The advanced suspension kinematics DNA from 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 geometry and kinematics developed for Epic 8. The advanced seatube 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 your pedals into maximum forward momentum. SMOOTHER IS FASTER: We designed the Flex Stay stays so suspension would be class-leading while eliminating the extra weight and maintenance of the pivot hardware used by traditional designs. Extensive field and lab testing proved the Chisel achieved the impossible: the efficiency, control and lightweight nature of the Flex Stay design—common on carbon bikes—with advanced alloy. HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The one-piece hydroformed seatube includes the headset cup and bottom bracket shell, versus a traditional alloy bike where the two components are welded together. So the Chisel shaves away even more material and weight.
