2021 Specialized Demo Race Downhill Mountain Bike - Gloss Brushed/Red

Season:2021

Brand:Specialized

Code:281621303297

All-out speed has always been the Demo’s target, and with the Demo Race it’s no different. Introducing a new flexible wheel-size frame design that allows riders to take advantage of a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel, it’s a special blend that’s long been tested by World Champ Loic Bruni looking for the perfect balance of traction and maneuverability, but only just green-lighted by the UCI. Not that it stopped the Demo Race from achieving both the Downhill World Championship and overall World Cup titles in it’s very first season.

The Demo offers that same winning combination straight out of the box, with an adjustable rear end that still allows you to change between 27.5 and 29-inch wheel sizes based on terrain and riding style, while also adjusting for proper chainstay length and bottom-bracket height.

Blazing fast on tough tracks, the Demo Race suspension design has been developed around a more rearward axle path that reduces rear wheel hang-up, increasing speed instead. Top-shelf suspension from RockShox takes advantage of the most proven suspension kinematics on the World Cup circuit and SRAM’s DH-specific XO1 drivetrain has you covered from start gate to finish line.

  • The M5 alloy frame is fully optimised 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 Rockshox Super Deluxe Ultimate DH coil shock is heavy on performance, offering external low speed compression and rebound adjustment while the Trunnion mount offers extra bushing overlap for increased durability.
  • The RockShox BoXXer Ultimate 29 comes from a long lineage of World Cup domination and it’s latest guise features RockShox’s Charger 2.1 Damper, DH DebonAir spring and 200-millimeters of podium-bred travel.

DEMO (STYLE SPECIFIC-SIZING) MY21 SIZING GUIDE

S-Sizing is based on what matters; rider size and style, not inseam. Six sizes, all with similar headtube lengths and standover allow you to choose the size that best suits your individual style. Smaller S-Size numbers are going to be more nimble, thanks to their shorter reach and front-center measurement, while bigger S-Sizes deliver more stability and a roomier ride.

  • SIZE DOWN FOR MORE MANEUVERABILITY
  • SIZE UP FOR MORE STABILITY
