The frame of the race bike has one of the highest quality aluminum frames on the market. The Chisel Comp is not only particularly stylish, but also robust and, above all, universally applicable. The trend towards more high speed stability geometries stops with Specialized. Good! Because with this balanced handling model, you are equipped for all situations on the trail. Compared with what the market offers, the seating position is neither super sporty, nor uber-comfortable. In the saddle of the Specialized Hardtail, you´ll enjoy a moderate position. On climbs, other bikes in the under 3000 Euro present a little better performance than the Specialized Hardtail. A good argument for the Specialized Chisel Comp: Such a successful geometry is usually only available if you have deep pockets. A nice warranty promises sustainability. With 25 years warranty Specialized sets the bar high!
