If you're considering diving into XC racing, you can do it with the Chisel Comp. A bike with all the features you need for this discipline, such as lightweight and stiffness, at a competitive price.
The Chisel Comp is equipped with a SRAM NX Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, powerful Level T hydraulic disc brakes, a RockShox Judy Gold fork with 100mm travel (except for XS size: 80mm), and alloy wheels with Fast Track Control 2.3" tires.
With DSW (D'Aluisio Smart Welding) technology, the welds are moved away from the high-stress areas, making the frame more durable, lighter, and stiffer—qualities essential for cross country. Among alloy hardtail frames, the Chisel's frame, weighing just 1350 grams, is one of the lightest, while the stiffness is perfectly tuned for each size.
The Chisel has all the features you'd expect from a modern cross-country bike, such as progressive geometry with a 68-degree head angle, a longer reach, internal cable routing, threaded bottom bracket, Boost, compatibility with a 30.9mm dropper post, and it’s designed for a single chainring setup only.
