Specialized Demo 8 I Carbon Disc Mountain Bike 2017

The Specialized Demo 8 I Carbon Disc Mountain Bike 2017 is renowned as one of the most sought after downhill bikes on the market and for good reason. The frame is constructed from Specialized FACT 10m carbon frame that’s incredibly strong, durable and lightweight, ensuring your control of the bike is constantly at optimum levels, whilst any big hits you take are easily absorbed.

200mm of travel sounds like a lot, but you’ll be glad you have it when hitting huge jumps and taking a direct line straight over huge rock gardens. The RockShox BoXXer RC 650b front fork allows for complete compression adjustment so you can dial in your perfect preference, whilst absorbing anything that stands in your way.

A custom Öhlins TTX rear shock set this bike apart from the rest of the competition. Öhlins are known to produce world cup winning suspension that absorbs anything you roll over, so it’s only fitting that the Demo 8 I Carbon is twinned with this beautiful component.

SRAM Guide R hydraulic disc brakes with 200/180mm rotors provide the immense braking power you need when taking on almost vertical gradients. These brakes also modulate heat unlike any other, ensuring you have the same braking power throughout your run.

Specialized Butcher DH 650bx2.3” tyres offer greater grip and puncture protection, even in wet conditions. These tyres, backed up by the Specialized disc 650b wheels, make for a truly incredible choice for any rider looking to get into the downhill scene.

Features

• The frame features a full FACT 10m carbon fibre construction for low weight and heightened levels of strength and stiffness, which is amplified by its asymmetrical frame design that still leaves plenty of access. This has also been paired with Specialized’s proven S3 Geometry that increases manoeuvrability and responsiveness, while the 200mm of travel at the rear makes the bike capable of taking on the biggest of hits in stride.
• RockShox's BoXXer RC 650b fork is purposefully designed for the most demanding terrain on earth. With 200mm of travel, Motion Control IS damping for maximum efficiency, and Power Bulge reinforced lower legs that allow oversized bushings for incredible stiffness, it'll leave you with nothing but confidence.
• SRAM Guide RS brakes provide powerful, precise and highly adjustable braking. They're based on a four-piston caliper design that puts out smooth, dependable stopping power, while 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
