When races are won and lost by fractions of a second, riders get particular about their bikes. Which explains why we spent years field-testing prototypes, nerd’ing out on the R&D, and testing various wheel and geometry setups in World Cup events. It might seem excessive, but when your R&D team has some of the best riders on earth, you listen. They know fast.

We specifically designed the Demo geometry to create a ride that’s both fast and playful. A new horst pivot adjustment allows for three different geo configurations that adjust chainstay length and BB height—short, mid, and long. From the astounding results of the Specialized Gravity Team in 2019, Demo comes stock with a 29 front, 27.5 rear wheel setup, but these adjustments let you choose the wheel size that’s best for your ride.
