For many, an explanation for using an M5 Aluminium construction in Downhill isn't needed but here's the primary pro's: stiffness, light overall weight and strength. This is the reason you'll notice the Demo 8 I alloy has been designed with it.
Using an M5 alloy construction, the Demo 8 I Alloy works in partnership with an S3 Geometry, an asymmetric frame design and a 1.5” forged head tube resulting in this outstanding race machine. The design is fairly compact in order to increase rider input and responsiveness, while the 200mm of travel at the rear makes this bike capable of taking on the biggest hits head-on. To make a significant impact on race day, the Demo 8 I Alloy has been equipped with an ISCG ‘05 mount for chain guides and a rear derailleur protector to keep you shifting smoothly over the varied and unpredictable terrain.
With a RockShox BoXXer RC 650B fork, the Demo 8 I Alloy has been designed for the most demanding terrain you'll encounter. With 200mm of travel, Motion Control IS damping for ultimate efficiency, and Power Bulge reinforced lower legs that allow oversized bushings for amazing stiffness - designed for your confidence.
SRAM Guide R brakes provide strong, exact and customisable braking. They've been based upon a four-piston calliper design that supplies smooth, reliable stopping power, meanwhile the Reach Adjust feature allows you to customise the position for easy, one-finger lever pulls. And with SRAM's SwingLink technology, the cam system minimises deadband without sacrificing modulation.
