Description
Meet the all-new Specialized Chisel FS — a revolution in alloy performance that blurs the line between carbon and metal. At 18.4% lighter than its nearest competitor and infused with the same geometry and suspension DNA as the World Cup–proven Epic 8, the Chisel FS is engineered for one thing: speed without compromise. Whether you’re chasing podiums or carving local singletrack, this is speed metal, perfected.
At the heart of the Chisel FS lies D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology, an advanced alloy construction process that precisely controls weld placement and tube shaping for unmatched strength-to-weight performance. Each hydroformed aluminum tube features variable wall thicknesses, delivering stiffness where you need power transfer and compliance where you crave control. The result is the lightest alloy XC full-suspension frame ever built, with race-ready handling and efficiency you can feel on every climb and descent.
Sharing the same geometry and suspension kinematics as the World Cup–dominant Epic 8, the Chisel FS packs a serious performance pedigree. With 110mm of Ride Dynamics–tuned suspension travel, this frame is born from the same development platform that tackles the most technical XC courses on the planet. From tight switchbacks to high-speed descents, the Chisel FS delivers confident control, razor-sharp handling, and all-terrain capability that defies its lightweight frame.
