Specialized Demo Race Downhill Mountain Bike
The Specialized Demo Race is built for all-out speed, and it delivers just that. With a new flexible wheel-size frame design, it allows riders to choose between a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel, a combination that has been tested by World Champion Loc Bruni. This configuration provides the perfect balance of traction and maneuverability, and it was only recently green-lighted by the UCI. The Demo Race already secured both the Downhill World Championship and World Cup titles in its debut season.
Now, you can experience that same winning combination right out of the box, with an adjustable rear end that lets you switch between 27.5-inch and 29-inch wheels based on terrain and riding style, while also adjusting chainstay length and bottom bracket height for optimal performance.
Key Benefits for Riders
Flexible Wheel Size for Ultimate Performance
The M5 alloy frame of the Demo Race is designed to take full advantage of the traction offered by a 29-inch front wheel, while maintaining the increased maneuverability of a 27.5-inch rear wheel. Plus, the adjustable rear end lets you change the rear wheel size to match the terrain, while ensuring chainstay length and bottom bracket height remain optimal no matter the wheel size.
Precision Suspension for Smooth, Fast Runs
The Öhlins TTX22M.2 coil shock delivers exceptional performance on the most challenging tracks. With external low-speed compression and rebound adjustment, the shock offers superb small bump tracking and the ability to handle large landings with ease. The Trunnion mount ensures increased durability with extra bushing overlap, making it ready for the roughest downhills.
Unmatched Control with 200mm of Travel
The Öhlins DH38 M.1 forks feature 200mm of travel, providing smooth and confident handling on even the toughest downhill runs. The TTX Twin Tube Damping system with external rebound and compression adjustments ensures that you can soak up bumps and maintain control throughout your run, giving you a faster, more confident ride.
Powerful Braking Performance
When you need to slow down, the SRAM Maven Ultimate 4-piston calipers with hydraulic disc brakes deliver exceptional stopping power. With a 220mm rotor in the front and a 200mm rotor in the rear, you'll have complete control as you tackle steep descents and technical sections of the trail.
