The Chisel is the lightest alloy full-suspension bike in the world. It's 18.4% lighter than similar models in the category, and with the kinematics and geometry of its big brother, the Epic 8, the Chisel delivers great performance on every ride.

SPEED METAL: Thanks to D'Aluisio Smartweld, the Chisel boasts the lightest aluminum XC frame in its class. Each frame tube is highly manipulated and features differentiated butting and profiles that provide stiffness and durability. where you need it, for efficiency, for compliance, for comfort and optimal control.

CAPACITY: With 110mm of Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension, the Chisel's performance pedigree can be traced directly to the Epic 8, our World Cup race machine. The DNA of the Epic 8's advanced suspension kinematics, Ride Dynamics-tuned suspension and progressive geometry honed on technical World Cup courses are all present in the Chisel, making it more than capable of tackling varied terrain with confidence and speed.

EFFICIENCY: The Chisel is the most efficient bike in its class, thanks to the use of geometry and kinematics developed for the Epic 8. The advanced seat tube positions the rider in an optimal pedaling position. Optimized anti-squat reduces pedal bob. Put it all together and you'll see how the Chisel translates every watt of pedal power into maximum forward motion.

SMOOTHER IS FASTER: We engineered the Flex Stay stays to deliver class-leading suspension while eliminating the added weight and maintenance of pivots found in traditional designs. Extensive field and lab testing proves that the Chisel has achieved the impossible: the efficiency, control and light weight of a Flex Stay design—common on carbon bikes—with an advanced alloy.

HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The one-piece hydroformed seat tube includes the bearing housing and bottom bracket shell, versus a traditional alloy bike where the two are welded together. Thus, the Chisel shaves off additional material and weight.
