Demo Race - 2025
All-out speed has always been the Demo’s target, and with the Demo Race, it’s no different. Introducing a new flexible wheel-size frame design that allows riders to take advantage of a 29-inch front wheel and a 27.5-inch rear wheel, it’s a special blend that’s long been tested by World Champ Loïc Bruni looking for the perfect balance of traction and maneuverability, but only just green-lighted by the UCI this past year. Not that it stopped the Demo Race from racking up both the Downhill World Championship and overall World Cup titles in its very first season...
Now, we’re offering that same winning combination straight out of the box, while an adjustable rear end that still allows you to change between 27.5 and 29-inch wheel sizes based on terrain and riding style while also adjusting for proper chainstay length and bottom bracket height.
Blazing fast on tough tracks, the Demo Race suspension design has been developed around a more rearward axle path that reduces rear-wheel hang-up, increasing speed instead.
Top-shelf suspension from Öhlins takes advantage of the most proven suspension kinematics on the World Cup circuit, and SRAM’s DH-specific X01 drivetrain has you covered from the start gate to finish line.
- The Demo Race M5 alloy frame is fully optimized to take advantage of the traction benefits of a 29-inch front wheel and the increased manueverability of a 27.5-inch rear wheel while maintaiining the ability to change your rear wheel size to suit different terrain and riding styles with an adjustable rear end that ensures chainstay length and bottom-bracket height stay dialed no matter the hoop size.
- The Öhlins TTX22M.2 coil shock is designed to handle the most challenging World Cup Downhill tracks, offering external low speed compression and rebound adjustment while the Trunnion mount offers extra bushing overlap for increased durability.
- With superb small bump tracking and the ability to soak up landings from even the heftiest drop-off, the Öhlins DH38 m.1 fork’s 200-millimeters of travel will give you smoother, faster, and more confident feeling runs than anything you’ve ridden before
The frameset features an M5 alloy construction with Style-Specific DH Geometry and a horst pivot flip chip that accommodates both 27.5” and 29” rear wheels. It includes a BSA threaded bottom bracket, full internal cable routing with an option for external brake routing, 148mm rear spacing, sealed cartridge bearing pivots, a replaceable derailleur hanger, and 200mm of travel. The seat binder is an alloy component with a 34.9mm diameter.
For suspension, the bike is equipped with an Öhlins DH38 M.1 fork offering 200mm of travel, TTX Twin Tube Damping, external adjustments for low-speed rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression. The rear shock is an Öhlins TTX22M.2 Coil with external rebound and compression adjustments, featuring a Trunnion mount and dimensions of 225x75.
The braking system includes SRAM Maven Ultimate hydraulic disc brakes with 4-piston calipers, paired with a 220mm rotor at the front and a 200mm rotor at the rear. The drivetrain consists of a SRAM DUB bottom bracket (83mm), SRAM X01 DH 7-speed cassette (10-24t), SRAM X01 DH 7-speed rear derailleur and trigger shifters, a SRAM X01 DH carbon crankset (165mm, direct mount), and a SRAM PC1130 chain with Powerlink.
The wheels feature Roval Traverse Alloy rims (29"/27.5", 28mm inner width, 32h), DT Swiss 350 hubs (20x110mm front and 12x148mm rear), and Sapim D-Light spokes. The tires are Cannibal GRID GRAVITY casing with GRIPTON® T9 compound, 2Bliss Ready, sized 29x2.4" for the front and 27.5x2.4" for the rear. Standard Presta inner tubes are included.
