Specialized Chisel HT
The Chisel is a cross country hardtail, perfect for modern trails and race courses
It shares many of the racing features of the Epic Hardtail, in a more affordable configuration. The Chisel features SRAM Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, Level T hydraulic disc brakes, RockShox Judy Silver fork and alloy wheels with 2.3’ Fast Trak Control tyres. With DSW (D'Aluisio Smart Welding) technology, the welding is moved away from the area of greatest stress, making the frame stronger, lighter and more rigid, qualities that are indispensable for cross country. Among alloy hardtail frames, the Chisel's frame with a weight of only 1350 grams is among the lightest, and at the same time the stiffness is perfect and calibrated for each size. The Chisel has all the features you would expect from a modern cross country bike, such as progressive geometry with a head angle of 68 degrees, a longer reach, internal cable routing, threaded bottom bracket, boost, compatibility with 30.9mm telescopic seatpost and single crown only setup.
