Sumarize
The "Demo Race" bike model from Specialized is a masterpiece for anyone looking for speed in the mountains. With a focus on lightning-fast descents, nothing has been left to chance with the Demo Race. Specialized has developed a bike that impresses with a new frame construction that allows the use of wheels of different sizes - 29 inches at the front and 27.5 inches at the rear. This combination ensures a perfect balance of traction and maneuverability, a mixture that has already been put through its paces by world champion Loïc Bruni. The bike has impressive suspension both front and rear with 200mm of travel each, which ensures a smooth ride on rough trails as well as high jumps. The fork is an Öhlins DH38 M.1 29 with a wide range of adjustment options to precisely tune it to the rider's needs. The Öhlins TTX 22 M coil shock absorber at the rear also offers a high degree of customizability. The brakes on the Demo Race are Magura MT7, hydraulic with 4-piston brake callipers and 203 mm discs, which provide excellent braking power in critical situations. The bike is powered by a SRAM X01 DH 7-speed drivetrain, which ensures fast and precise gear changes. The wheels are Roval 29" Alloy DH, which are not only robust but also tubeless ready for even better traction and puncture protection. In summary, the Specialized Demo Race is a machine for those who don't want to compromise on downhill performance. With its sophisticated equipment and innovative frame concept, it stands for speed, precision and fun on demanding trails.

CONCLUSION: Uphill and on undulating trails, there's little to nothing, but wherever gravity accelerates, the "Demo" takes the lead.
James Smurthwaite
Despite the forum hype, it sounds like Bruni won't be on a new suspension configuration... yet.

After nearly 100,00 vertical feet, the Specialized Demo downhill bike has been through the ringer and we're happy to share our review here.

- Ever evolving platform could be a distraction for some athletes
- Internal cable rattle
- 29-inch wheels take more effort to wrestle around on tight, technical sections
