Specialized Chisel 29" Frameset

The Chisel 29" frame from Specialized - for XC trails and race courses

The Specialized Chisel is an aluminium hardtail frame with which you can build a fast, efficient and powerful cross-country bike. Whether you're new to XC or an advanced rider, Chisel offers you key features of the Epic at a more affordable price. The frame impresses with modern, progressive features such as a head tube angle of 68°, a longer reach, internal cable routing, a threaded bottom bracket and Boost installation width. It is of course compatible with dropper posts and designed for 1x drivetrains. The Chisel was manufactured using D'Aluisio Smartweld technology and hydroforming, which provides plenty of stability and appropriate flexibility without ratcheting up weight. A Specialized aluminium seatpost is also included.

Technology:

D'Aluisio Smartweld Technology (DSW)
D'Aluisio Smartweld welding technology, named after its inventor Chris D'Aluisio, is based on so-called hydroforming. Hydroforming is a process that uses hydraulic pressure to shape aluminium. A flange with seam preparation is then formed, which is then welded. This improves accessibility during welding, produces cleaner welds due to more even heat distribution and distributes the jump in stiffness over a larger area. This not only ensures smoother stiffness transitions and lower load peaks, but also contributes to material and weight savings because thinner wall thicknesses can be used. This technology makes it possible to get the best out of aluminium, and to produce frames that are nearly comparable to carbon models in terms of precision and strength, but are naturally much more affordable.
