Specialized Chisel Comp

The Chisel Comp uses a 'flex stay' rear end design. By engineering the frame to flex slightly, it eliminates the need for traditional rear pivots, which reduces the bike's overall weight and minimizes maintenance requirements while still providing 110mm of active travel.

While it is built with XC speed in mind, the progressive geometry and 110mm of travel make it quite capable on technical terrain. It is designed to handle varied trails confidently, though it is optimized for efficiency and climbing speed rather than aggressive downhill or enduro riding.

Yes, the Chisel Comp features a flip chip in the rear linkage. This allows you to adjust the bottom bracket height and head tube angle, letting you fine-tune the bike's handling characteristics to better match your local terrain or riding style.

Yes, the Chisel Comp includes a TranzX dropper post. The travel length of the post varies by frame size—100mm for XS, 125mm for SM-M, and 150mm for L-XL—to ensure the best fit for different rider heights.

The rims are tubeless-ready, which allows for an easy conversion to a tubeless setup. While the bike ships with standard tubes, switching to tubeless is highly recommended to reduce weight and improve puncture resistance on the trail.

This specialized construction technique moves the weld joints away from the areas of highest stress, allowing for thinner, lighter tubing without sacrificing stiffness. It results in one of the lightest aluminum full-suspension frames available in this category.
