The Specialized Chisel 2026 bike we’re featuring at Escapa is the world’s lightest and fastest full-suspension aluminum bike. 18.4% lighter than its closest competitor and sharing the geometry and kinematics of our World Cup-ready Epic 8 mountain bike, the new Chisel delivers performance you can feel, whether you’re racing “between the tapes” or riding solo on your local trails.
Key Features:
Frame—D’Alusio Smartweld hydroformed tubes and engineered tube unions, Flip-Chip geometry adjustment, 110mm of travel.
RockShox Recon 120mm fork with Motion Control shock
X-Fusion rear shock with Ride Dynamics
TranzX dropper seatpost
SRAM NX Eagle 12-speed drivetrain

UNLIMITED CAPABILITY: With 110 mm of travel featuring our Ride Dynamics technology, the Chisel’s high-performance pedigree traces directly back to the Epic 8, our World Cup race machine. The Epic 8’s DNA—advanced suspension kinematics, Ride Dynamics suspension, and progressive geometry honed on technical World Cup courses—is found in the Chisel, making it more than capable of handling varied terrain with confidence and speed.
