Expirience with the Specialized Demo Expert

Ludwig Döhl You may still not be able to ride like former world champion Loic Bruni on the Demo Expert , but at least you can feel like it when you are in the lift queue at the bike park. The handling of this bike is balanced. So its pretty intuitive to control on singletrails. If you love crisp downhill runs, there are other Downhill-Bike around under 6000 Euro that would suit you better. Especially for light riders under 70 kilos, the weight of this bike is enormous. With 17,87 kg, the ratio of rider to bike weight could be lighter. Specialized is installing only absolutely high-quality shifting components. The guarantee of 25 years proves that Specialized puts a lot of trust in its products.
