Despite the forum hype, it sounds like Bruni won't be on a new suspension configuration... yet.

After nearly 100,00 vertical feet, the Specialized Demo downhill bike has been through the ringer and we're happy to share our review here.
Jun 2020
The new Specialized Demo latches on to the mixed-wheel trend, and will come out of the box with a 29-inch front wheel and 27.5-inch rear.
Jul 2019
The all new 2020 Specialized Demo is the same bike that Loïc is currently riding while leading the World Cup overall. But what about the hybrid 29 front, 27.5 rear wheel setup?
Jul 2019 · BrianBuell
The Demo 29 is officially available to all. Fast man Brian Buell heads to Port Angeles to break things down and evaluate the brand new bike from a seasoned racer's point of view.

Awesome in gnarly terrain, but a little wallowy when pedalling or cornering hard. Buy if you want a bike for the roughest, steepest, most technical tracks around
Super-supple, traction-rich suspension isolates your feet from the roughest terrain
Low bottom bracket and short chainstays make for a connected, planted feel in steep tech and turns
Linear suspension can hamper front wheel grip when cornering hard, especially on the XL size
