"The 11th installment of the Demo gets a makeover with a slacker head tube angle, proportionate rear centers, and some really interesting stuff going on towards the bottom bracket that seems like a pragmatic evolution of all the wacky gearboxes we saw in the early oughts."
"Specialized is calling this new system 'HighGear', and it's the culmination of Specialized and SRAM teaming up to create a patent-pending system that works alongside the OBB linkage to make for a more consistent axle path and address the effects of drivetrain interference with the suspension travel."
The new Specialized Demo 11 has been officially announced, following years of anticipation since the last major update in 2020. This downhill bike features a slacker head tube angle, proportionate rear centers, and an innovative HighGear system developed in collaboration with SRAM. The HighGear system enhances the axle path and minimizes drivetrain interference with suspension travel. The Demo 11 is available in sizes S3, S4, and S5, with a complete bike priced at $11,000 and a frameset at $6,500.
