The new Specialized Chisel HT Comp 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.

The new Chisel houses all of the modern features that you expect from an XC bike, like Progressive race-oriented 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. It features one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames out there at 1,350g, which also has size-tuned stiffness. This Chisel comes with SRAM's NX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain and powerful Level T hydraulic disc brakes, a 100mm travel RockShox Judy Gold fork (Size XS: 80mm), and 25mm internal width Specialized Alloy rims wrapped in 2.35 Fast Track Control casing tires. The progressive geometry, features an option to run a 30.9mm dropper seat post. 

Why 29” wheels?

• 29" bikes for better control - thanks to a larger contact area with the ground, they offer you improved traction and better control while riding
• 29" bikes for higher speed - simple physics: larger diameter, higher speed
• 29" bikes for a smoother ride - larger wheels make it easier to overcome smaller and larger obstacles on the trail
• 29" bikes for taller bikers – simply because they are larger
