Specialized Demo Expert 29"/27.5" Mountain Bike 2022
The Specialized Demo Expert 29"/27.5" Mountain Bike has been conceived to conquer downhill tracks of World Cup severity with maximum speed and control. The M5 alloy frame is light, laterally stiff and robust and integrates a RockShox Super Deluxe Select Coil shock with low-speed compression and rebound adjustment to guarantee traction and composure across the roughest terrain. This coil is included within a suspension design that features advanced kinematics and a more rearward axle path, ensuring that the heaviest impacts are soaked up with consummate ease. A RockShox BoXXer Select suspension fork partners the frame, utilising its 200mm of plush travel to increase line accuracy, comfort and confidence when the jumps and obstacles are at their most daunting.
The frame can accept 27.5" or 29" wheels, and the former size is specced within this build at the back to grant extra agility during technical runs. Within a mullet configuration, the 29" front wheel adds extra traction and momentum to the ride. Both wheels have bombproof, downhill-inspired constructuions and are propelled by a slick-shifting SRAM GX DH drivetrain. SRAM 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes finalise the build with precise stopping power in all conditions.
