New Bike…2021 Chisel
I had a deposit on one and it came in..somI made a 700 mile round trip drive and picked it up. It’s a base Chisel in Gloss Raspberry. I REALLY like the color, I am sully a black or dark blue kinda guy but the color pops. I am coming from a 2020 Rockhopper Comp 1X. Just did my first trail ride and this thing is CRAZY! I wouldn’t think there was such a huge difference between the Chisel and the Rockhopper, but it is. Put my Specialized Command Post and my RaceFace Chester pedals and this is a pretty capable machine. Weight with pedals and dropper post is 28 pounds. Will probably go tubeless and add a few carbon bits and will probably be in the 26 pound range.

It is a nice color but you bike needs something loud. It is a mountain bike need to get some fun anodized bits to make it pop.

Ive a '19 in black. Other color was Cream for that year, wasn't in love with that. The red is beautiful.
I love my Chisel. Fast, nimble, comfortable. Best damned climbing bike I've ever ridden.

Climbing is phenomenal. Descents are FAST. Agile. They did an amazing job on this one.
