Chisel HT Ltd Frameset Specialized 2022 Gloss Chameleon Lapis/Arctic Blue Base/Tarmac Black

The new Chisel has been specially designed to tackle modern cross country courses and race circuits with the utmost speed. In fact, it shares many of the same modern features as its sister Epic Hardtail, but in a more economical package.

Which makes it the most efficient and capable aluminium hardtail available. And with this frame option, you can build your new Chisel exactly how you want it - high-end construction for a durable XC shredder? Or maybe a budget bike that you can upgrade. The Chisel frame is the perfect canvas to start drawing your path to XC racing.

• We asked ourselves, "How can we deliver a bike with pro-level performance to be accessible to a wider range of riders?" by relying on D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology. Smartweld allows us to create the most consistent, high-strength welds possible while taking full advantage of compatible hydroformed alloy tubing. The result? One of the lightest aluminium rigid frames available at 1350g, which also features size-adjusted stiffness.

• The new Chisel also has all the modern features you'd expect from an XC bike, like progressive XC geometry with 68 degree head tube angle and increased reach, internal cable routing, threaded bottom bracket, boost spacing, 30.9mm dropper post compatibility and 1x drivetrains.
