The all-new Chisel 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.
This Chisel comes spec’d with Shimano’s tried and true Deore 1×12 speed drivetrain and MT400 hydraulic disc brakes a RockShox Judy Silver fork and 25mm internal width alloy wheels wrapped in 2.3 Fast Track Control casing tires.

The Chisel’s all-new frame utilizes our D’Aluisio Smartweld technology that moves the hydroformed tube joints away from the areas of the highest stress making the finished frame’s balance of strength rigidity and weight more pronounced than any alloy frame in history. This not only makes the Chisel one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames coming in as light as 1400g but it also allows for tuned frame stiffness across all sizes.
The new Chisel also houses all of the modern features that you expect from an XC bike like Progressive 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.
