Demo 9

2006 Demo 9

EXPERIENCE: FREERIDE Some ride seeking pure adrenalinE, pushing their skills to new levels and continually seeking the thrill that comes with challenging the paradigm of what can be ridden. Others seeking the buzz of DH competition and its blurred speeds find their home in a similar collection of landscapes and bike attributes. Steep trails, big air, and ruthless trails strewn with impending disaster are all common terrains, demanding relaxed handling characteristics, extreme stability, and the ultimate in suspension technology - all in a package built to withstand the abuse. The Specialized Demo and BigHit fleet are purpose-built for these riding experiences, proven in arenas from the Red Bull Rampage, to the Whistler terrain park, to the local hardcore hotspots.
