Specialized Chisel Base Mountain Bike 2025 - XC Full Suspension MTB
Lightweight and Affordable
The All-new Chisel is a lightweight, capable and affordable full suspension mountain bike. This lightweight frame which is 18.4% lighter than its closest competitor, will help riders fly up the climbs, while the suspension and efficient geometry makes it at home on both downcountry trails and when venturing off-piste.
D'Aluisio Smartweld M5 Alloy
The aluminium frame features D’Alusio Smartweld technology which delivers the highest strength at the lowest weight, by using stiffer joints with less flex, offering a lightweight and responsive ride. With the flipchip and progressive XC geometry based on the Epic 8, the steep seat tube angle positions the rider in the optimal pedalling position and the most comfortable position for those technical trail sections.
Full Suspension
The Chisel is equipped with 120mm front suspension and 110mm rear. All Chisel models include suspension lockout front and rear, and the Chisel frame will allow riders to upgrade to a 130mm fork depending on preference. The frame also features a flex stay rear end which offers riders the efficiency, control and lightness of a carbon flex stay design, from an alloy frame.
Dropper Post
Both Chisel models come equipped with a TranzX dropper seat post offering adjustable travel, meaning riders can move their saddle out of the way to gain more confidence and control on technical descents and terrain. The length of drop will depend on the size of frame you choose.

- Built and dispatched in 1-2 working daysHaving watched videos by long time testers and trawling through data I kept ending up back at the specialized chisel FS. Considering everything else, delivery time and cost etc etc I ended up back at Tredz. Having set up, tweeked and rode the bike for a couple of weeks to find anything negative I would have to get very picky. Sitting position is excellent especially for climbing. The recon forks are easy to set up and work very well across rutted fields as well as very stony ground. The rear shock takes a little more tweeking but again performs exceptionally well. Packaging and delivery included pedals and tools to get started straight out the box. Delivery time was fast too. Summary - excellent bike and faultless fast service. A definite 10 / 10.
