Specialized Chisel Comp EVO
THE LIGHTEST, FASTEST ALLOY FULL SUSPENSION BIKE IN THE WORLD: The all-new Specialized Chisel Comp EVO redefines downcountry performance, boasting an 18.4% lighter frame than its closest competitor. Sharing geometry and kinematics with the Epic 8 EVO, the Chisel Comp EVO is engineered to deliver exceptional speed, control, and efficiency—whether you're racing or exploring technical trails.
SPEED METAL: Thanks to D’Aluisio Smartweld technology, the Chisel Comp EVO features the lightest aluminum XC frameset in its class. Each hydroformed tube is engineered with varied wall thicknesses and precision shaping, ensuring maximum stiffness for efficient power transfer while maintaining ride-smoothing compliance for superior control and comfort.
UNMATCHED CAPABILITY: Equipped with trail-ready specs, including an upgraded 130mm front travel, the Chisel Comp EVO thrives on rough terrain. Its advanced suspension kinematics, Ride Dynamics tuning, and progressive geometry—honed on technical World Cup courses—make it capable of handling demanding trails with speed and confidence.
INCREDIBLE EFFICIENCY: The Chisel Comp EVO is the most efficient pedaling bike in its class, leveraging the geometry and kinematics from the Epic 8 EVO platform. A steep seat tube optimizes the rider’s pedaling position, while refined anti-squat characteristics minimize pedal bob, ensuring every watt translates into maximum forward motion.
SMOOTHER IS FASTER: Engineered with a flex stay rear triangle, the Chisel Comp EVO offers class-leading suspension performance without the added weight and maintenance of traditional pivot designs. This innovation—common in carbon bikes—has been perfected through extensive lab and field testing, delivering efficiency and control in an advanced alloy frame.
HYDROFORMED ALLOY: The Chisel Comp EVO’s one-piece hydroformed seat tube integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and bottom bracket shell, reducing weight and enhancing stiffness. Unlike traditional designs with welded components, this construction streamlines the frame for improved durability and performance.
