Trek Full Suspension Mountain Bikes

What is Full Suspension?   A full suspension mountain bike has a main frame made up of three parts: the front triangle, rear triangle, and connnecting pivots and linkages.  A shock controls the rate of compression and rebound. The front wheel is connected to the front triangle by a suspension fork.  Both fork and shock allow the wheels a certain amount of controlled vertical movement that varies depending on the style of bike (Cross Country = 60-120mm; Trail = 120-150mm; Enduro = 150-180mm; Down Hill = 180-200mm).  Suspension is designed to give riders more comfort, stability, and control by keeping the wheels on the ground while on rough terrain.

Who is it for?  Full suspension is smooth, comfortable on rough terrain, and stable on descents.  This means more control and more confidence.  However, these benefits cost more money, add weight, and decrease pedal efficiency.  Is a full suspension bike for you?  That depends on how much you want to spend and what types of trails you'd like to ride. If you're comfortable investing $2,000 + in a bike and would like to experience the widest range of Utah trails (which tend to be narrow, rocky, and loose), a full suspension is probably a good fit. We recommend visiting your local bike shop to talk with a professional about your cycling goals.  It's a good idea to test ride some different models and note what you like or dislike about each.  The most popular and versatile full suspension model we sell is the Trek Fuel EX.  Swing by and check one out today.

Specialized’s New Chisel Blends Price and Performance

Starting at $2,600, Specialized’s new aluminum full suspension mountain bike borrows geometry and suspension from the brand’s pricier carbon platforms.

The new Chisel full-suspension aluminum mountain bike shares its name with the Chisel aluminum hardtail. Though it might confuse some buyers, Specialized could have named this bike whatever it wanted because the new full-suspension Chisel totally rips.

At first glance, the Chisel looks like an Epic , Specialized’s carbon full-suspension XC race bike. And your eyes are not deceiving you—the similarities between the new Chisel and the Epic are striking. Specialized even claims that the two bikes share kinematics and geometry. They also share all their small parts like bottle cage bolts, seat binder, and linkage hardware.

However, the new Chisel is perhaps a closer cousin to the previous generation Epic Evo . The two bikes share the same amount of suspension travel, with 120mm in the front and 110mm out back. (With 120mm of suspension travel both front and rear, the latest Epic is slightly more capable.)

The major difference between the Chisel and the Epics is the materials employed for the frame. The Chisel is made from aluminum, specifically Specialized’s M5 Alloy, with hydroformed tubes that are then joined using their patented D’Alusio Smartweld process. Specialized debuted Smartweld in 2013 on the S-Works Allez and then popularized it with the 2015 Allez Sprint. Instead of traditionally cutting and mitering aluminum tubes, Smartweld uses hydroformed joints. The process requires less material without loss of structural integrity at the weld.

While previous Smartweld efforts were impressive—particularly how Specialized formed the downtube of the Allez Sprint as one piece with the bottom bracket—the new Chisel pushes the technique up another notch with its single-piece seat tube. Which is certainly the most complicated single-piece alloy bicycle tube I have seen.

Specialized didn’t only form the bottom bracket as part of the seat tube, it also formed in the suspension pivots. Most brands weld these parts to the seat tube. The main advantage of forming the parts together is weight saving, but it’s also an impressive bit of aluminum trickery that looks exceptionally clean.

Another big difference between the Epic 8 and the Chisel is price. When we reviewed the S-Works Epic 8 in March, it was the most expensive (non-electric) mountain bike we had ever tested at $14,500. The Chisel Comp is priced at $3,400. This means for the price of one S-Works Epic 8, you could buy Chisel Comps for yourself and three friends—and still have some money left over.

Chisel Details

If you hate proprietary standards or integration, there is much to love about the new Chisel. Unlike the new Epic, there are, thankfully, no cables running through any headset. The frame uses a standard English threaded BSA bottom bracket, and the seat tube is compatible with round 30.9mm seat posts and is secured by an external seat binder.

The bike has internal routing for the rear brake, derailleur, and dropper post. The new Chisel lacks an internal storage compartment. While the feature hasn’t grown on me, many riders prefer the clean look of storing their spares and tools internally.

None of the frame standards on the new Chisel are proprietary or annoying. Overall, it’s a delightfully easy bike to work on, customize, and upgrade.

While Specialized claims that the Chisel shares geometry with the Epic 8, that’s not exactly the case. Both bikes share the same 75.5º seat tube angle and are within 2mm of wheelbase length. But the headtube on the Chisel is 0.6º steeper at 66.5º compared to the Epic’s 65.9º.

In terms of stack and reach, the Chisel is about 5 mm shorter across its size range. Stack figures are a bit more mixed bag, depending on sizes. An XL Chisel is just 1 mm taller than the Epic, while a Large is 10mm taller.

The Epic 8 saw some dimensional changes to its build kit, which carry over to the Chisel as well. All sizes now use a 60mm stem, plus 170mm cranks on the medium (instead of the 175s used on the Epic 7 of the same size).

The Chisel's geometry does not stray from where Specialized and other brands have taken the current crop of slightly longer-travel cross-country bikes. This makes perfect sense, given how well these bikes meet the demands of everyday riders and racers alike.

Models and Pricing

The new Chisel is available in three complete bike builds. There is a gloss pink frameset option for fans of wild Specialized paint jobs. The frame sells for $2,000 and includes a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock.

Specialized Chisel Frameset

Complete bikes start at $2,600 and riders can select between SRAM or Shimano builds at this price. Both builds feature an X-Fusion Pro-02 rear shock and a RockShox Recon Silver RL fork. The Shimano model comes with mostly Deore drivetrain parts and Shimano M4100 brakes.

Specialized Chisel Shimano

The SRAM build uses a mix of NX and SX Eagle for the drivetrain and Level T brakes.

The “top-end” complete build is the Chisel Comp, which sells for $3,400. For the extra $800, riders get upgraded suspension with a RockShox Deluxe Select+ rear shock and a SID fork. The rear derailleur gets upgraded to Shimano SLX, although the cassette remains Deore. Brakes on the Comp are M6100 and a Shimano crankset replaces the generic one from the lower-tier build. All of the complete builds include a TranzX dropper post.

Ride Impressions

We’re currently in the golden age of the cross-country mountain bike. It feels a little silly saying that in a review of a relatively affordable aluminum mountain bike but it’s true.

A few years ago, cross-country bikes were dedicated race machines and weren’t all that fun to ride. They were twitchy, stiff, and sometimes downright sketchy. But with XC race courses becoming more demanding (with bigger and more technical features), XC racers needed bikes with more capability but without giving up speed and power transfer.

To be perfectly fair to the Chisel, I did not expect a 28.5-pound bike to ride the same way a 22.5-pound bicycle does. The lack of those six pounds gives bikes like the Epic 8 their lethal efficiency on climbs. But after riding the Chisel, it is clear that Specialized used the right geometry, suspension kinematics, and amount of travel to capture the essence of what makes modern XC bikes so good and so versatile.

Climbing on the Chisel is certainly the bike's weak point, but truth be told, you don’t feel it all that much on the trail. Particularly when climbing seated up a rough bit of singletrack, the rear of the bike feels perfectly planted on the trail. A stiff frame with lots of rear wheel traction makes the Chisel feel much lighter and snappier than its weight might initially suggest. Climbing on smoother trails or fire roads is where I would expect to feel the bike’s weight the most, but even there, I was left thoroughly impressed and delighted by the Chisel’s pep.

Point the Chisel back downhill, and you’re instantly rewarded. It’s a bike that feels incredibly poppy, easy to flick in and out of corners, and it’s a total hoot to bump-jump off small lips, rocks, and roots. The stiff aluminum frame shines with how accurate it feels when pinging your way through a rock garden or down a succession of small drops.

Modern mountain bike geometry makes shorter travel bikes much more capable than before. So, if you want to chase an enduro bud down a rowdy downhill, the Chisel will keep up, providing you have the skill (and guts) to do it. In its stock form, you’re more likely to run out of brakes and tires before reaching the limit of the suspension and geometry.

Though it does its job admirably well, the Chisel only has 120mm (front) and 110mm (rear) wheel travel. The bike has impressive traction, and while I never felt like I was blowing through the travel, it’s still fundamentally a cross-country bike with a single pivot/flex stay rear suspension layout. This system trades weight for the small bump sensitivity and refinement you can get from heavier and more complicated rear suspension designs. This means the Chisel feels harsh on particularly chunky trails, where you constantly hit rocks and roots.

In its stock form, the Chisel is a great bike but brands always make some compromises on bikes in this price range to hit the cost target. If there’s a single part holding the Chisel back, it’s the stock wheels. The 27mm internal width is reasonable but still felt narrow. When absorbing an impact through a corner, there was quite a bit of tire squirm, which can be unsettling if you’re not used to it.

A highlight of the Chisel build kit for me was the Shimano drivetrain parts. The dominance of SRAM 1x electric-shifting drivetrains has almost eliminated Shimano from North America’s higher-end mountain bike market. But at Chisel’s price, Shimano's shifting still leads. The SLX parts on the Chisel performed flawlessly. The shifting is precise and has wonderful tactile feedback. I did not feel that changing gears using a cable held the bike (or me) back one bit.

Is the Chisel Worth It?

The value proposition of a bike is always a tricky subject because it is highly subjective. For some riders, a $3,400 or a $2,600 bike is cheap. For others, it could be the most money they ever spend on a bike.

What struck me the most was how absent aluminum full-suspension cross-country(-ish) bikes are from the lineups of other large brands. Cannondale, Giant, and Canyon do not offer aluminum variants of the Scalpel, Anthem, or Lux. Trek has an alloy version of the Top Fuel ($2,700), but it’s tough to call it a cross-country bike when it’s a solid 4 pounds heavier (34.4 lb.) than the base version of the Chisel, which is $100 cheaper.

The Chisel’s closest competitor is perhaps the Orbea Oiz H30 ($3,300). The Oiz is a bit racier than the Chisel and features a remote lockout and a comparable build kit to the Chisel Comp. Another option is the Salsa Spearfish ($3,800) and a more trail-oriented option would be a bike like the aluminum Rocky Mountain Element . The Element A30 sells for ($3,300) with a similar build kit to the Chisel Comp.

But for all these bikes, the closer they get to $4,000 in price, the more the aluminum bikes start to overlap with lower-end carbon models. This is especially true if riders look past current-year models and consider bikes from a previous model year that are often on sale.

This is likely the main reason higher-end aluminum bikes have largely disappeared from the mid-tier of many brand lineups. Consumers overwhelmingly prefer and buy carbon fiber bikes. They would rather look for a carbon bike to fit their budget than consider an aluminum alternative. But in this price range, the aluminum models often feature better parts and are not much heavier.

Plus, there are some genuinely good reasons to consider an aluminum bike besides price. For one, aluminum makes for a durable frame that can brush off scrapes, rock strikes, and small impacts that might necessitate a more thorough damage inspection on a carbon frame. It’s also worth considering that aluminum bikes are significantly less energy-intensive to produce. Plus, aluminum is an easier material to recycle. Sure, those last two reasons might not enhance the bike's performance, but they're a nice bonus. Still, if you are a rider who's tough on frames, the durability aspect of going aluminum is hard to overstate.

Final Thoughts

While it’s unlikely that most riders will view aluminum frames as having the same cache as carbon fiber, plenty of folks appreciate what aluminum offers. The cult status of road bikes like the Specialized Allez Sprint and Cannondale’s long-running CAAD series certainly come to mind in this context. The original Chisel hardtail showed glimmers of a similar following, but for the most part, aluminum mountain bikes have yet to gain equal fandom.

Is the new Chisel good enough to change that? I certainly think so.

I don’t think the Chisel will tempt many riders with bigger budgets to overlook carbon models in its favor. But riders who opt for the Chisel are not “settling” for aluminum by any stretch of the imagination. Riding the Chisel made me just as giddy and happy as riding mountain bikes that cost five times as much. So while there’s nothing wrong with aspiring to a carbon bike, the aluminum Chisel has no real downside.

Starrun R20 review: Is this sub-$1,000 full-suspension fat tire e-bike worth it?

I’ve always found the sub-$1k e-bike segment fascinating. The bikes aren’t always the best, but the good ones are usually good enough for most casual and/or recreational riders. And this is the group of e-bikes with the biggest potential for winning over new riders who haven’t fully committed to the idea of a pricier e-bike replacing a good chunk of car miles. The $899 Starrun R20 is the latest folding fat tire e-bike that seems ready to compete in this quickly crowding market. So does it have what it takes?

Starrun R20 video review

To see this e-bike in action, check out my review video below. Then keep scrolling for even more details!

Starrun R20 tech specs

• Motor:  750W geared hub motor in the rear wheel
• Top speed:  45 km/h (28 mph)
• Range:  Up to 88 km (55 mi) depending on user input
• Battery:  48V 20Ah (960 Wh)
• Weight : 36.7 kg (81 lb)
• Max load:  181 kg (400 lb)
• Brakes:  Mechanical disc brakes
• Extras:  Sturdy rear rack with seat pad, color LED display, integrated head/tail/brake LED lights, fender set, left-side thumb throttle, folding design

What does the bike have going for it?

On paper, there’s a lot to like here. For just $899 (or apparently $799 from Walmart), you’re getting a full-suspension fat tire e-bike with a pretty darn big battery and some good performance.

The biggest claims to fame are the 28 mph top speed, the big ol’ 960Wh battery (48V 20 Ah), and the full suspension. Those are all great features for a super low-cost bike! I love being able to go fast on an e-bike, and of course any fast e-bike is going to need a bigger battery to avoid burning through all of your range with the higher power needed for high speed.

But the third part of that trifecta, the full suspension, unfortunately isn’t all that much to write home about. The front suspension fork is decent but nothing special. It absorbs bumps but it’s not a high-quality piece of kit, that’s for sure. And the rear suspension, well it’s not much either. Again, it does the job, but it’s not quality suspension. In fact, I’m pretty sure those orange piggyback reservoirs are just for show. I’m not convinced that they aren’t just plastic Yahtzee shakers bolted onto the top of the shock. These are basically just springs, not true hydraulic damping as it would appear.

But hey, it’s a low-cost bike and so I get it.

For the price, you’re getting fast speeds, pretty good range (though probably not the true 55 miles they advertise), and some decent suspension to smooth out rougher roads and trails. The fat tires of course help add to that suspended feeling.

But then there are some downsides here too.

For one, the mechanical disc brakes aren’t terribly punchy and will of course need more tuning than nicer hydraulic disc brakes. The rear bench is a nice idea, but is largely unusable for a rear passenger unless they are also wearing roller skates. Add some foot pegs and then we can call it a true passenger bench.

And lastly, though perhaps most importantly for anyone who actually wants to pedal this bike, I find that the rear frame flares out so wide for the shock mounts that it actually gives me a weird heel strike situation when I pedal. I’ve learned to move my feet further up the pedals to account for it, but that’s not great pedaling form. You can see what I mean in the video above, where the frame just doesn’t seem to account for your foot arc, and instead cuts into your personal space on each pedal stroke.

But as I said, a lot of these shortcomings are hard to fault too hard when considering the ultra-affordable price. I’m far from a bike snob, and I know some people just want a full-suspension e-bike for a low price.

I can’t guarantee you the R20 is going to last for years. But I can tell you it works pretty darn well out of the box, is fairly comfortable to ride (if not to pedal), and has the big battery most folks are going to want when riding faster.

There are other nicer folding e-bikes at the price, but they don’t have the suspension offerings or the massive battery of the Starrun R20, which definitely gives it an edge. Nice additions like the fender set and color display are also nice to see, as are the three different colorway options.

But ultimately, I’d have to call this just a decent e-bike. If you really want full-suspension, it’s worth considering. But if you’re looking for higher quality, I’d probably pass over the R20. It’s definitely a budget bike for budget shoppers, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Like most e-bikes, it has a place in the market.

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.
