Without these it can result in the lower crown dinging the downtube. The Specialized bumpers are needed because the downtube of the Demo 8 doesn’t give enough room for the stock FOX fork bumpers to contact properly. With a RockShox BoXXer, no issues arose but if you want to run a FOX 40 you should use the Specialized FOX bumpers. Specialized has some custom bumpers and a spacer for those who want to run a FOX 40 fork. The bike features a short chainstay 421mm (16.57″) which makes this bike quite playful in the corners and in the air as its easy to whip it around. The geometry range of the Specialized Demo 8 is pretty big as they have 4 sizes to pick from. 3 sizes: Extra Small / Small / Medium / Large.Norwich Concept Store Operated by Thomas's Cycle Revolution Ltd (6708909).

The Demo 8 II has a very healthy part spec out of the box that rivals many World Cup setups. At the same time it’s still a fun park bike. With two World Championship jersey’s under its belt this bike is certainly up to the task when it comes to gravity riding. It has evolved quite a bit into what you see here. The Specialized Demo has come a long way in its lifetime.
With the signing of Sam Hill a few years ago, Specialized began revamping the Demo 8 to be a very capable downhill race bike.
In 2011 Specialized revised their production Demo 8 and Brandon Sloan took us through the highlights in the video you see below that are still relevant to the 2012 Demo 8 range. In addition to the Demo 8 II and the Demo 8 II completes, the Demo is also available as a frame only option. Specialized offers the Demo 8 in a Demo 8 I package as well that is more budget oriented. For 2012 we decided to take a deeper look at the Specialized Demo 8 II.
