This is the third bike in our new Sierra Bicycle Supply Custom Build Series — a celebration of cool, fun builds that ride as good as they look. BuilderNate Troyerdesigned this one as a straight-forward, budget-friendly, lightweight XC Racer with BIG brakes, a dropper, and without batteries!
The Purple Rain Size Medium chassis is a Specialized Chisel HT Limited Edition in Gloss Purple Tint Over Chameleon. This speedster weighs in at 23.5 lbs.
The Chisel has been purpose-built to tackle modern cross-country trails and race courses with the utmost speed. In fact, it shares many of the same modern features as its Epic Hardtail sibling but in a more budget-friendly package—making it the most efficient and capable alloy hardtail out there.
Fork: RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN The RockShox SID SL Ultimate BRAIN incorporates a race-tuned Brain Inertia Valve with Position-Sensitive technology into the all-new SID SL chassis.
New Position-Sensitive Brain technology provides more platform support while maintaining small bump compliance and chassis balance, making this the most efficient BRAIN yet.
Position-Sensitive technology allows riders to sag into the fork 15mm for a balanced ride, providing supple small bump compliance and a firm pedaling platform without the need for a remote lockout or levers.
All-new SID SL Ultimate chassis features a machined alloy crown to shed weight while increasing stiffness.
Torque cap compatible for a stiffer dropout/hub interface.
100mm travel, 44mm offset, 110x15mm hub spacing.
Brakes
Front Brake: SRAM Motive Bronze Disc Brake and Lever, 950mm hose, post mount, 4-piston, aluminum lever, Diffusion Black, A1; 160mm Centerline Rotor.
Great deal and quick turnaround from Sierra. The bike arrived as promised and I took it to my LBS for assembly. My only complaint is that you can’t speak to anyone on the phone—only text and email. Highly recommend Sierra for the best online deal you can find!
Bought a Specialized Turbo Vado online at a great price. Delivery was relatively quick, and the bike was well protected in the shipping box. One glitch in the setup but the phone support was excellent, and I was on my first ride in short order. I was pleased with the process and recommend Sierra Bike for online shopping and service.
Fantastic Bike! Would recommend Sierra Bike Supply!
Can’t recommend SBS enough. Fantastic pricing, great communication, and prompt shipping.
I saw the feedback around certain items being out of stock… not sure why folks just don’t pick up the phone. I called to confirm availability. The team was polite and quickly confirmed the bike was on the floor. Quick ordered it, shipped and received. Packaged flawlessly.
Easy transaction and I would highly recommend working with them.

This is my do-it-all bike. It does fast XC, decent-sized chunk, and climbs like a mountain goat. The best part though is the service and sales process with Sierra Bicycle Supply. Those guys are the best!

We love the staff and store so much that we bought our motorcycles and ebikes from them.

Whether riding at 150 mph+ on your motorcycle or just 40 mph+ on your ebike, you'll be glad you bought them from this store

High Quality, at a Great Price
High Quality, at a Great Price. Most importantly, the boss is very happy about it. Just in time before Father's Day, so I could earn some credits.
It comes with Headset, cable plugs for Wireless settings, and the MRP Chainguide. (thou, I had to put a spacer to make it fits for the 52mm chainline...)
