Specialized Chisel FS Unboxing, Tech, Spec and Feature check 

Love the idea of this bike. The release has me excited. Your review makes me want it that much more!

I will wait for the full review, good video, thank you

My Lord, there is virtually no better bike reviewer on the planet than Guy.

Great bike and a great review. We need more quality bikes in this price class, especially since money is tight for most.

Cool! I love my HT chisel I might buy this

Nice touch of them to put a name sticker on for you

Recently picked up an epic pro LTD at 50% discount, swapped the brain shock for a Bike Yoke + RS SID Ultimate 3P, and swapped the brain fork damper for a RS Raceday charger 2 3P... However, if this bike was released I'd have been seriously tempted to go with this instead, this looks like such a good bike for the vast majority of XC riders who aren't interested in going racing.... Epic EVO I hear you say but it was completely sold out and I'm happy with 110mm front and 95mm rear, works perfectly for my local XC trails.... Anyway, the Chisel FS will be popular, it hits the right price point and the spec looks to be good quality, a perfect base frame from which to upgrade.

Thats one heck of a shoe collection Guy.😎

It's a beautiful bike. I want it ❤

Just bought a HT Chisel Comp 4 wks ago! Not sure if I gonna yell or cry 😄😭! This bike seems to hit the ultimate sweet spot in the Specialized range RN!

Could you please tell me how that pivot shelf is mounted. Is it tough. Rivot or screws or glued to frame. Thanks. Love your work man

Thank you very much, could you tell me a list of components I could improve the Chisel bicycle,

I have the 110/120 travel 2023 Epic Evo and love it. This new Chisel FS is nearly identical except aluminum. I think Specialized hit a homerun with this bike. Personally, I would choose the the Comp build which comes with the RS Sid 35 and SLX drivetrain.

Interested to know what the tire clearance is like? The mud flap protecting the gap at the lower pivots is a nice touch, but I wonder how it would cope with 2.4 tires and UK mud.

I literally bought a Chisel 6 months ago and now this model is released. I’m sad to annonce that now my bike is worthless and will promptly be thrown into the sea. I can’t even bear to look at it anymore. 😢

For complete build, I’d go for the SLX build. But from frameset, I’d build it with GX AXS

Can alloy get fisures when bended? since I see there is no bearings in the rear triangle like other bikes have, I'm speaking from ignorance.

It's a bit funny, selling aluminium bike for 3k, when just a few weeks ago you could buy new carbon Specialized Enduro for ~3k lol

I recently got a NOS Giant Trance 2. 12 speed Deore groupset Z2 fork, Fox dps, Maxxis tyres for £1099. Probably a bit more downcountry/trail build than this bike (130/120 travel) but plenty of money saved for upgrades. UDH hanger too.

Looks good, but the Orbea Oiz looks better 😊.

Specialized website says "High" position puts the head angle at 70° from 66.5° in "Low" position. That must be a mistake. All other geo changes are much more subtle between flip chip positions.

Which shock absorber would I change the xfusion for?

Where did you get your name decal from?

No Horst link on that bike? 😅 I don't see the chain stay pivots... Greetings from Croatia from Kris 😎

It looks like the model up offers even better value for money in terms of spec. Would you agree?

whats the max chainring for the Chisel FS?

can't find anything on this online first i've heard of it. Prototype?

Is the hardtail discontinued?

How much weight can you lose by making all the changes?

Lot of bike for the money

Where can i get this unit for 2000????????

Its cool that Specialized has figured out how to do the flex pivot in aluminum, but honestly I just can't see why someone would buy this bike instead of something like a new Lux Trail CF6 for a few hundred dollars more. We have one of the cheapest Stumpjumpers that can be bought and it came with all the equivalent low spec components in your video. There is just no long term savings with the cheapest versions of the Specialized bikes, the only savings is right up front, and the savings is small.

*Very nice COMPLETELY FORMED marketing words that everebody repeat in his advetisment specialized sold videos))) Even old 2014-2016 Kona Process 134 and 153 has that COMPLETELY FORMED seat tube LOL... the same Scott Spark 2016-2019))) Welcome to the future with Specialized bikes guys - 2024 is here))) Dont forget friends - that your heads are also entire monococs)))*

Just rebrand of old camber

low cost???? you guys just crazy paid under the table or what???? this is not low cost!!!! Radon Skeen Trail and Radon Slide Trail are low cost, but not this under equiped and overpriced alloy bike! Check Decathlon Rockrider as well they have good prices!!! but not Specialized!
