Specialized Chisel HT Comp 2025

The Specialized Chisel HT Comp 2025 has been specifically designed to tackle modern cross-country trails and race courses at top speed.
In fact, it shares many of the same modern features as its sibling, the Epic Hardtail, but in a more affordable package, making it the most efficient and capable aluminum hardtail on the market.

This 2025 Specialized Chisel HT Comp comes with the tried-and-true SRAM NX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain and Level T hydraulic disc brakes, a RockShox Judy Gold fork, and alloy wheels with an internal width of 27 mm, fitted with 2.35 Fast Track Control tires.

We asked ourselves, “How can we deliver professional-level performance at a price that more cyclists can afford?” The answer is D’Aluisio Smartweld Technology. Smartweld allows us to create the most consistent and durable welds possible while making the most of hydroformed, flexible alloy tubes. The result? One of the lightest alloy hardtail frames, weighing 1,350g, that also features size-specific stiffness.
The Chisel also includes all the modern features you’d expect from an XC bike, such as Progressive XC Geometry with a 68-degree head tube angle and longer reach, internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket, Boost spacing, compatibility with 30.9 mm seatposts, and 1x drivetrains only.
