Riassunto

The Specialized Demo is a downhill bike that excels in gnarly terrain with its supple suspension and planted handling, making it a favorite for steep and technical tracks. However, it faces criticism for its pedaling efficiency and suspension that can feel wallowy or bottom out under hard use. The bike's design, including its asymmetric frame and low bottom bracket, contributes to its confident ride but can also lead to some handling quirks.

Pros
  • 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

  • Asymmetric frame design for easier access to the shock and cool looks

  • Impeccable finish and true internal routing leaves the bike rattle free

  • Great geometry and progressive sizing mirrors the more expensive carbon design

Cons
  • Linear suspension can hamper front wheel grip when cornering hard

  • Pedalling efficiency is compromised

  • Feet dragging on the insides of ruts due to low bottom bracket

  • Suspension is easy to bottom out

  • Basic fork internals and components are lacking compared to competitors

The Specialized Demo 8.1 Alloy looks just as good as its carbon counterpart, but costs 50 per cent less.

Specialized Demo 8.1 Alloy (2017) first ride - MBR

gen 2017 · Alan Muldoon

Great geometry and progressive sizing give the Specialized Demo 8 Alloy an edge. Everything about the Demo’s parts package is pretty much bombproof.

Pro
  • Great geometry and progressive sizing give the Demo 8 an edge

Contro
  • Basic fork internals put the brakes on an otherwise rapid package

First Ride : Specialized Demo Carbon 27.5"

ago 2014 · Ian Collins

During Crankworx in Whistler, I had the fortunate opportunity to take a new Specialized Demo Carbon 27.5” bike out for a day and gather some thoughts on the bold, cutting edge new design. While one day certainly isn’t enough time to do a full length review on a complete DH bike, if there was any single place to ride for JUST one day and gather as much feedback as possible it would be in Whistler. demo test session from MTB MAG on Vimeo. At 6′ tall, I was pretty dead set on riding a long. Why did I call it
