Introducing the Specialized Demo Race Downhill Full Suspension Mountain Bike - a speed demon with a twist! This bike is all about pushing the boundaries and finding the perfect balance between traction and maneuverability. AÂ new frame design lets you enjoy the best of both worlds - a 29-inch front wheel for smashing obstacles and a 27.5-inch rear wheel for nimble handling. This combination has been put through the paces by none other than the World Champ himself, Loic Bruni, and finally got the green light from the UCI last year. But hey, rules were meant to be broken, right? Because this bad boy still managed to bag the Downhill World Championship and overall World Cup titles in its very first season!
 So, if you're ready to blaze through tough trails with a grin from ear to ear, the Specialized Demo Race is the ride for you. Get ready to channel your inner Loic Bruni and experience the thrill of conquering any challenge that comes your way! Speed, style, and a little touch of rebel attitude - that's what the Demo Race is all about!
Features:
- The Demo Race M5 alloy frame is fully optimized to take advantage of the traction benefits of a 29-inch front wheel and the increased manueverability of a 27.5-inch rear wheel while maintaiining the ability to change your rear wheel size to suit different terrain and riding styles with an adjustable rear end that ensures chainstay length and bottom-bracket height stay dialed no matter the hoop size.
- The Ohlins TTX 22 M coil shock is designed to handle the most challenging World Cup Downhill tracks, offering external low speed compression and rebound adjustment while the Trunnion mount offers extra bushing overlap for increased durability.
- With superb small bump tracking and the ability to soak up landings from even the heftiest drop-off, the Ohlins DH38 m.1 fork’s 200-millimeters of travel will give you smoother, faster, and more confident feeling runs than anything you’ve ridden before.
