Specialized Chisel Comp EVO Mountain Bike in Black

The lightest, fastest alloy full suspension bike in the world gets a full makeover with the ultra-capable EVO build.

Still 18.4% lighter than the closest competitor and sharing geometry and kinematics from the downcountry-hungry Epic 8 EVO, the all-new Chisel Comp EVO delivers performance you can feel and is spec'd for the ultimate downcountry experience.

With D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, the Chisel Comp EVO boasts the lightest aluminium XC frameset in its class. Each highly manipulated frame tube features continuously varied wall thicknesses and shaping that deliver stiffness where needed for efficiency, and ride-smoothing compliance where wanted for comfort and optimal control. D’Aluisio Smartweld delivers the highest strength at the lowest weight by using hydroformed tube junctions that allow the joint to move away from the area of the highest stress and create a “valley” for the weld bead to lay in.

With a slew of trail-ready specs, including a bump up to 130mm of travel up front, the Chisel EVO handles rough terrain well. Advanced suspension kinematics, Ride Dynamics tuned suspension, and progressive geometry are all found in the Chisel Comp EVO, making it more than capable of handling big rides with confidence and speed.

The Chisel Comp EVO is the most efficient pedalling bike in its class, thanks to the utilization of geometry and kinematics that went into the Epic 8 EVO platform. The steep seat tube positions you in the optimal pedalling position to save energy for the long rips down. Honed anti-squat reduces pedal-bob, translating every watt applied to the pedals into maximum forward motion.

Specialized engineered a flex stay rear end for class-leading suspension performance while eliminating the extra weight and maintenance associated with pivots required in a traditional design. Extensive field and lab testing proves that Chisel Comp EVO has achieved the efficiency, control, and lightweight of a flex stay design in the advanced alloy. The Chisel Comp EVO shaves extra material and weight with a one-piece hydroformed seat tube that integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and BB shell.
