Relentless fast aggressive no matter how you describe it downhill racing is demanding. Starting with the bike you're inserting control into a borderline uncontrollable situation wherever you can. But when it comes to harnessing gravity's pull while also maintaining confident handling it simply doesn't get any better than the S-Work Demo 8. It's constructed from our finest carbon fibre FACT 11m for unparalleled stiffness and strength.
At the front you'll find 200mm of travel coming through a custom-tuned RockShox BoXXer Team 650b fork and at the rear you get 200mm of travel via our game changing Öhlins rear shock. The build is also dialed-in sparing absolutely no expense in providing the utmost in lightweight durable performance. This means that you get powerful SRAM Guide RS brakes that control Code calipers and 200/180mm Centerline rotors a precise one-by X01 DH seven-speed drivetrain strong & stiff Roval 650b wheels and our legendary Butcher & Slaughter DH tyres for the ultimate in traction and control. Add it all up and you get everything you need to send it down the mountain with more speed than you ever thought possible.
