The Chisel is the perfect bike for anyone looking to take the plunge into XC racing. It embodies all of the qualities youd expect from an XC race bike like light overall weight incredible stiffness and a race-oriented geometry—all with one-by gearing too.
PRO-LEVEL PERFORMANCE MADE AFFORDABLE
We asked ourselves “How do we bring pro-level performance down to a price more riders can afford?” DAluisio Smartweld Technology was the answer. Smartweld allows us to create the most consistent high-strength welds possible while taking full advantage of compliant ultralight alloy tubes.
XC-FAST AND TRAIL-BIKE CAPABLE
Cross-country courses have grown more technical so why we gave the Chisel a dose of trail bike DNA. The Chisel’s longer top tube shortened head tube and slightly slack front end increase its downhill stability without sacrificing its climbing ability.
• Light stiff and durable the premium M5 alloy frame is the perfect racing platform.
• RockShox Judy Silver 29 fork complete with lockout and adjustable rebound damping.
• SRAM’s SX Eagle 1X drivetrain gives you the gearing you need to tackle any climb.
- Given its light weight and ultra-stiff characteristics M5 aluminum was the natural choice for the Chisel’s frame. And when complemented with our speed-focused XC 29 Geometry DAluisio Smartweld technology and internal cable routing you get a bike that compromises nothing in delivering explosive speed confident handling and hassle-free maintenance.
- Rocks and bumps are soaked up by the RockShox Judy Silver 29 fork. It features proprietary technology from RockShox like its Solo Air™ spring that maintains an ideal equilibrium as well as being one of the lightest air springs on the market.
- SRAMs 12-speed SX Eagle drivetrain with its 11-50t cassette provides a wide gear range that lets you spin up the climbs yet have plenty of top end for the descents. One-by setups also decrease weight and make it next to impossible to drop a chain.
