The Specialized Chisel HT Comp is engineered to dominate modern cross-country trails and race courses with speed, efficiency, and precision. Sharing many of the same advanced features as its Epic Hardtail sibling but at a more accessible price point, this bike stands out as the most capable and efficient alloy hardtail in its class.
Lightweight and Durable: The D'Aluisio Smartweld technology allows the Specialized Chisel HT Comp to achieve exceptionally strong welds while making full use of hydroformed aluminum tubes. This innovation results in one of the lightest alloy hardtail frames on the market—just 1,350g—while maintaining an excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio, ensuring maximum power transfer and ride compliance.
Progressive XC Geometry: Featuring a 68-degree head tube angle and an extended reach, the Specialized Chisel HT Comp provides enhanced stability and control on technical descents while maintaining agility on climbs and fast sections. Internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, Boost axle spacing, and compatibility with a 30.9mm dropper post make it a race-ready XC machine.
