Specialized Chisel 2025 XC Mountain Bike

About the Chisel

The Lightest, Fastest Alloy Full Suspension Bike in the World. 18.4% lighter than the closest competitor and sharing geometry and kinematics from our World Cup ready Epic 8 mountain bike, the all-new Chisel delivers performance you can feel—whether you’re racing "between the tape" or ripping solo hot laps on local trails.

Why you’ll love it

• The Lightest- 18.4% lighter than the closest competitor. Thanks to D’Aluisio Smartweld, Chisel boasts the lightest aluminum XC frameset in its class. Each highly-manipulated tube features varied wall thicknesses and shaping that make it lightweight and incredibly strong.


• Most Capable- With 110mm of Ride Dynamics tuned suspension, the high performance pedigree of Chisel is traced directly to the Epic 8, our World Cup race machine. DNA from the Epic 8, like advanced kinematics, Ride Dynamics tuned suspension, and progressive geometry can all be found in the Chisel.


• Incredibly Efficient-Utilizing geometry and kinematics that went into our Epic 8 platform, the Chisel is incredibly efficient. A steep seat tube keeps the rider in an optimal pedaling position. Honed anti-squat reduces pedal-bob. Every watt to the pedals translates to forward motion.
