SPECIALIZED 2018 MEN'S CHISEL EXPERT – 1X

SPECIALIZED's stiff, lightweight D'Alusio (DSW) aluminium frame is incredibly strong making it an ideal spec for a hardtail mountain bike.

The 2018 Chisel Expert - 1X features XC 29 geometry giving a longer top tube, a shortened head tube, and a slacked out front end, the result of which is a tremendous increase in downhill stability, plus a wider range of fit.

The build on this Chisel features a mix of SRAM GX and NX one-by components for efficient shifts and added protection against dropping the chain. You'll also find powerful SRAM Level TL hydraulic disc brakes, a dependable RockShox Reba RL fork with up to 100mm of travel (size-specific), and 25-millimeter-wide alloy wheels that are optimized for weight and traction.

Given its lightweight and ultra-stiff characteristics, M5 aluminum was the natural choice for the frame's construction. And when complemented with the speed-focused XC 29 Geometry, D'Aluisio Smartweld technology, and internal cable routing, you get a bike that compromises nothing in delivering explosive speed, confident handling, and hassle-free maintenance.

A custom RockShox Reba RL 29 fork offers up 90/100mm of smooth travel (size-specific), while an easily accessible compression and rebound adjusts permit you to customize the feel according to the terrain at hand.

SRAM GX handles one-by shifting duties, practically eliminating dropped chains and reducing overall bike weight.

The best way to help maintain your bike is by using our range of FUCHS Silkolene Cycle Lubes, suspension fluids, maintenance products and greases
