A DH Racer’s Perspective: Unveiling the 2020 Specialized Demo 29 The Demo 29 is officially available to all. Fast man Brian Buell heads to Port Angeles to break things down and evaluate the brand new bike from a seasoned racer's point of view.

Pros
  1. Winning track record
  2. Rider balance within the bike
  3. Rider comfort at high speeds and when it gets rowdy
  4. Increased momentum carry through all terrain
  5. More progressive leverage curve to combat heavy g-forces  
  6. 29-inch wheels just go faster and accommodate more flat-out World Cup courses
  7. Built with an eye for minimal maintenance
Cons
  1. Ever evolving platform could be a distraction for some athletes
  2. Internal cable rattle
  3. 29-inch wheels take more effort to wrestle around on tight, technical sections
  4. 148mm rear axle limits compatibility with other DH-rated wheelsets
