Specialized Demo 8 FSR II – First ride review

Jan 2011 · Mike Davis

The 2011 frame retains the Demo’s trademark double rear triangle – it’s a conventional four-bar back end, but the shock is driven directly off the chainstay, so Specialized can mount the 3in stroke Fox DHX shock low in the frame, which allows the whole frame to be built lower.
