Product Details

Add Icon

The all-new Chisel has been purpose-built to tackle modern cross country trails and 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 and capable alloy hardtail out there.

This Chisel comes spec'd with Shimano's tried and true Deore 1x12 speed drivetrain and MT400 hydraulic disc brakes, a RockShox Judy Silver fork, and 25mm internal width alloy wheels wrapped in 2.3 Fast Track Control casing tires.

  • The Chisel's all-new frame utilizes our D'Aluisio Smartweld technology that moves the hydroformed tube joints away from the areas of the highest stress, making the finished frame's balance of strength, rigidity, and weight more pronounced than any alloy frame in history. This not only makes the Chisel one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames coming in as light as 1,400g, 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 and longer reach, internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, boost spacing, 30.9mm dropper post compatibility, and 1x-only drivetrains.

Awesome starter bike

I rode my first cross country race season on this bike. It is spectacularly light which helps fly uphill and maintain momentum when terrain switches uphill. Riding a hard tail also requires certain skills on the downhill that become very useful when a rider is more experienced and switches to full sus. I would recommend this bike for beginner or intermediate level cross country bikers. The price is great, too!

Liviana, sencilla, trepadora

Una bici que puede verse demasiado sencilla, pero su mayor fortaleza para mi fue eso. La geometría es increíble y se adapta perfecto al cuerpo, siento que la he tenido por mucho tiempo. Lo único que le puse fue un drop post. En el futuro un upgrade de la transmisión. Siendo rígida tiene fluidez, vale la pena probarla.

The Chisel factor! Surprise!

I come from a 29 wheel full suspension bike. I've had the Chisel for a month and I've done a little bit of everything, road, dirt, mountain and single tracks. I really like its angle of attack on the descents, its lightness, speed and agility. I like the braking power and the ease and precision of the gears. For the price I think it was the best bike I've had so far. I just don't like the original tires on more slippery surfaces (dirt and stone), they don't have the necessary grip to be able to progress successfully and safely.

Midwest single track approved

How this bike does not get more press is beyond me. Seriously one of the best bargain priced for geometry and all around do anything bike. One of the best platforms that you can build on to whatever level you prefer. The head angle is just slack enough to be light and nimble and still stable when necessary. I actually chose this over this Stumpjumper due to how much fun it was the moment I took it for a test ride. Seriously, Great job. (Slow hand clap👏) Thanks, Steve in Ankeny

Great bike

I waited a long time for this bike to come in stock and it was well worth the wait. I upgraded from a 26 Rockhopper to the Chisel and it is so fast and has great components. I ordered a dropper seat but everything else is stock. Love the ride and weight of the bike.

Great bike, light aluminium (& Cracking noise explanation!)

Great bike. Upgraded brakes to M6120 and a One-up dropper and it's a high speed, low budget race machine. Very responsive and good modern geo! As to the cracking noises - mine suffered from this issue and it was traced to the pressed in headset cups. Drove me mad, and I swore it was the welds too, until these were pressed out by LBS, regreased and pressed back in again. The thin walls from this frame make small noises amplify to very loud and all over the frame.

Yo quería compra una Epic, pero por la pandemia no hay existencia me ofrecieron una chisel y con poco entusiasmo la acepte y la verdad me sorprendió mucho el cuadro es ligero y de una geometría muy cómoda y grupo shimano deore trabaja muy bien. En resumen es una muy buena base que se puede mejorara en componentes o mantenerla así, no desilusiona muy recomendable.

I absolutely love the bike!

The slacker head angle let's you really attack the trailers for an xc bike. Once you put a dropper post it makes an amazing, light, fun all mountain bike! Great quality on grips, wheels and tires. Tires are 10,s on dry stuff, rocks, and roots, but they are 4/10 when things get wet. All around I feel good value for what looks to be an extraordinary reliable rig!

Decent XC bike

This bike is fairly decent for almost anything you throw at it. I have already ridden a few blacks on it and it handled the technical bits quite well for an XC bike. I would recommend to upgrade the cranks, saddle, and tires though.

Enjoying every dirt trail with it

Got this in Glossy Raspberry and loving the color. Really love the range of gears, helps with those tough climbs. Surprisingly light for a 29er. But for the price I payed was really disappointed it didn't come with a dropper post, that's why it only got 4 out 5 stars, besides that I really love the bike.
