{"product_id":"chisel-shimano","title":"Chisel Shimano","description":"The Chisel is the lightest, fastest alloy full suspension bike in its class, delivering 18.4% weight savings compared to the closest competitor. It shares geometry and kinematics from Specialized's World Cup-ready Epic 8 mountain bike, providing performance whether you're racing or enjoying local trail rides.\n\nThe frame features D'Aluisio Smartweld technology with continuously-varied wall thicknesses and shaping that deliver stiffness for efficiency and compliance for comfort. A one-piece hydroformed seat tube integrates the seat tube pivot, main pivot, and BB shell, eliminating extra weight and complexity compared to traditional welded designs.\n\nWith 110mm of Ride Dynamics tuned suspension, the Chisel inherits advanced suspension kinematics and progressive geometry proven on technical World Cup courses. A flex stay rear end design delivers class-leading suspension performance while eliminating the weight and maintenance of traditional pivot designs, achieving the efficiency and control typically found only on carbon bikes.\n\nThe geometry and kinematics optimize pedaling efficiency with a steep seat tube positioning the rider for maximum power transfer. Engineered anti-squat reduces pedal-bob, translating every watt into forward motion. The bike is equipped with a RockShox Recon 120mm fork with Motion Control Damper, Ride Dynamics tuned X-Fusion rear shock, TranzX dropper post, and Shimano Deore 12-speed drivetrain.\n\n\u003cdiv data-section-type=\"features-triple\" data-theme=\"\" data-text-align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv data-section-type=\"feature\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Lightest\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e18.4% lighter than the closest competitor.
