Spread The Word

Good luck finding a better high-performance downhill bike than this value-packed rig: the Specialized Demo. With 200mm of front and rear travel, a custom Fox Van RC shock, and a RockShox RC fork, this machine is one well-thought-out downhill setup.

For pros like Sam Hill and Troy Brosnan, or any aspiring DH racer, the mountain is at its best when it pushes the boundaries of technical terrain. These fate-tempting riders rip down the toughest terrain on earth in the most aggressive way imaginable, so they want quite simply the most badass DH bike around: bomb-proof, uber-fast, technologically cutting-edge, and of course sexy!3

The Specialized Demo 8 features a manipulated M5 alloy FSR frame with 200mm of rear wheel travel, an oversized, alloy link, forged head tube, a rear derailleur protector with suspension linkage engineered for the worlds toughest terrain!

This downhill mountain bike boasts a Custom Fox Van RC coil shock with piggyback, compression and rebound adjustment; this rear shock is designed for a high-speed downhill terrain and works well with the bikes FSR design in order to keep the rear wheel planted for maximum traction. The Demo 8 uses a RockShox Boxxer RC fork which offers 200mm of travel, it has externally adjustable compression and rebound and a 20mm Maxle thru-axle; this ensures you have great suspension no matter what the surface you are riding on is like.

This Specialized full suspension mountain bike features Roval DH alloy rims, these are 30mm wide and laced with DT Swiss spokes to Specialized hubs with a 20mm front thru-axle and 150x12mm rear thru-axle hub which creates a reliable and super strong wheelset that can easily handle the biggest hits. The Specialized Demo uses Butcher DH 26x2.3" soft dual-compound tyres: they offer fantastic traction with Monster Team approved tread and to finish off, a bombproof casing.

This bike uses a Custom Truvativ Descendant crankset with alloy arms, a PF30 BB, 36T chainring and a Gamut bashguard, this is built for speed and chain retention. The Downhill MTB uses a SRAM X9 Type 2 10-speed rear derailleur and teamed up with the Custom Avid Elixir 5 R hydraulic disc brakes/levers you will be reassured the sharpest braking; with tool-less reach adjustment, metallic pads and a 200mm front and 180mm rear rotor, your speed is kept in check on the most demanding descents.

The Specialized downhill bike has been given an all-new Sip Grip, lock-on, half-waffle aramid infused MTB grip, this will boost durability, comfort and control when out riding! Finally the Demo 8 uses a Specialized DH low-rise handlebar, it is 750mm wide and is ideal for navigating technical terrain.

Download the Specialized Bike Sizing Guide PDF

The right size bike for your body size is essential to ensure the optimum experience, comfort and enjoyment as you ride. With sizing varying between the type of bike, the brand and even the model, getting the perfect fit can seem daunting. That’s why we’ve compiled a handy guide to help you get the correct size.

Measure Your Height

Our handy size charts match your height to the appropriate frame size so you need to be sure you’ve measured your height accurately.

  1. Take off your shoes and stand with your back against a wall.
  2. Make sure legs are together and your shoulders are back.
  3. Place a pencil on top of your head and mark the wall (the best and easiest way to do this properly is with a friend to help you).
  4. Measure from the floor to the pencil mark you have just made with a tape measure.

Range of Reach

For most people to get the right frame size, measuring your height will suffice. However, you may find that your height is on the borderline of the range we suggest for a particular frame. If this occurs you need to measure the range of your reach or “Ape Index”. This will ensure you get a comfortable distance between the handlebars and your saddle.

  1. Stand up straight with your back against a wall.
  2. Life your arms out horizontally either side of you.
  3. Measure the distance from fingertip of one hand to fingertip of the other. This will give you your arm span.
  4. Subtract your height from this figure to get your Ape Index.
  5. If the result is positive (your arm span is greater than your height) you should go for the larger size of bike.
  6. If the result is negative (your arm span is less than your height you need the smaller size.

Stand Over Height

You should also consider your inside leg measurement when choosing your bike to ensure adequate stand over height. Stand over height is the clearance between the top tube and the bottom of your crotch. For mountain bikes we recommend a distance of 2-4 inches and for road or hybrid bikes 1-2 inches of clearance is required. This will ensure comfort when you’re stopped and standing astride the bike.

Our bike sizing charts take stand over height into consideration but if you have a particularly long or short inside leg measurement in relation to your height you will need to bear this in mind when selecting your frame size.

Riding Style

The way you ride and the type of bike you are into will also impact the frame size you should choose. For example, a trail devotee looking for an aggressive ride may prefer a smaller, more manoeuvrable bike size. It all comes down to personal preference and how the bike feels to you.

Our sizing charts aim to be as specific as possible so you can look up the particular type, make and model of bike you’re looking for. Remember, the sizes given in our guides are suggestions and should be used for general advice only. For the best possible fit; we recommend popping in to your local Leisure Lakes Bikes store, or call 0800 083 0888 for expert advice tailored to you.
