The frame of the race bike has one of the highest quality aluminum frames on the market. The Chisel is not only particularly stylish, but also robust and, above all, universally applicable. The handling of this bike remains balanced thanks to a moderate geometry. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Specialized Chisel, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. If you want to hunt Strava-KOMs uphill, the Specialized Hardtail is probably not the right bike for you. For 2000 Euro , competitors usually deliver geometries with less fun potential. With 25 years warranty, you can not go wrong.
