2021 Specialized Demo Expert Downhill Mountain Bike - Gloss Smoke

Season:2021

Brand:Specialized

Code:281620303298

Full Gas, Full Fast. The latest Specialized DH bike is the fastest, most capable Demo to date, owing to its combination of an irrational appreciation for speed and the unmatched versatility of being able to run a traction-loving 29-inch front wheel and a snappy 27.5-inch rear. The Demo Expert adds planted, confident control with an assist from RockShox’s BoXXer Select 29 fork featuring their DH DebonAir spring and a Super Deluxe Select Coil shock offering external rebound adjustment. The Demo's adjustable rear end means 29-inch rear wheel compatibiity is on deck, ready to deliver, if you're riding style or terrain demands it.

SRAM Code RS four-piston brakes front and rear give you the power to slow down with almost telepathic immediacy, while the Demo Expert’s suspension platform injects just the right amount of anti-rise into the kinematics equation to keep your weight low and centered, maximising rear-wheel traction when you need it most.

  • 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 29-inch 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 Select 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.

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
