The Chisel is the lightest alloy full-suspension bike in the world. It is 18.4% lighter than similar models in its category, and thanks to the kinematics and geometry of its big sister, the Epic 8, the Chisel delivers great performance on every ride.

SPEED METAL: Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel features the lightest XC aluminum frame in its class. Each frame tube is highly manipulated with varied thicknesses and profiles, offering stiffness where it’s needed for efficiency, vibration absorption, comfort, and optimal control.

CAPABILITY: With 110mm of suspension travel tuned by Ride Dynamics, the Chisel’s high-performance pedigree can be traced directly back to the Epic 8, our World Cup racing machine. The advanced suspension kinematics, Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension, and progressive geometry honed on World Cup technical courses can all be found in the Chisel, making it more than capable of handling different terrains with confidence and speed.

EFFICIENCY: The Chisel is the most efficient bike in its category, thanks to geometry and kinematics developed for the Epic 8. The advanced seat tube positions the rider in an optimal pedaling position. The optimized anti-squat reduces pedal bob. Put it all together, and you’ll see how the Chisel translates every watt from your pedals into maximum forward movement.

SMOOTHER IS FASTER: We designed the Flex Stay seatstays to make the suspension top of its class, while eliminating the added weight and maintenance of pivots used by traditional designs. Extensive field and lab tests have shown that the Chisel achieves the impossible: the efficiency, control, and lightness of Flex Stay design—common on carbon bikes—with an advanced alloy frame.

HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The hydroformed seat tube in one piece includes the bearing seat and bottom bracket shell, compared to a traditional alloy bike where the two components are welded. This way, the Chisel sheds more material and weight.
