Specialized Chisel Hardtail Comp: Pro-Level XC Performance
We asked ourselves, “How do we bring pro-level performance down to a price more riders can afford?” The answer is the SPECIALIZED CHISEL HARDTAIL COMP with D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology. This Mountain Bike is no compromise, offering a race-ready package perfect for tackling technical trails or competitive cross-country in places like Cycling in Dubai.
Innovation: D’Aluisio Smartweld M5 Alloy
Smartweld Technology allows us to create the most consistent, high-strength welds possible while taking full advantage of compliant, hydroformed alloy tubes. As a result, the frame is one of the lightest alloy hardtails out there at just 1,350g, and it also features size-tuned stiffness.
The SPECIALIZED CHISEL HARDTAIL COMP also houses all of the modern features you expect from a premium XC Hardtail Bike:
- Progressive XC Geometry: Features a 68-degree headtube angle and a longer reach for stability and speed.
- Modern Standards: Includes internal cable routing, a threaded BSA bottom bracket, Boost spacing, and 30.9mm dropper post compatibility.
- Drivetrain: 1x-only drivetrain design for simplicity and efficiency.
Chisel Comp Build: Ready for the Race
The Chisel Hardtail Comp delivers exceptional value and trail capability:
- Suspension: The RockShox Judy Gold fork handles suspension duties with a Motion Control damper, Solo Air spring, and 100mm of travel (or 80mm on XS), providing predictable front-end control.
- Drivetrain: A full SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed groupset offers massive gear range with an 11-50t cassette and reliable shifting.
- Brakes: SRAM Level T hydraulic disc brakes provide confident stopping power with 2-Piston Calipers and Centerline Rotors.
