SPECIALIZED DEMO RACE

The Demo Race was born with a precise goal: maximize downhill speed while maintaining maximum control on the most technical tracks in the world. Used at the highest levels of the World Cup and developed together with the best riders, it represents one of the absolute benchmarks in the downhill world.

The M5 alloy frame is designed to offer race-specific geometry and maximum versatility, thanks to the flip chip system that allows mixed wheel configurations: 29” at the front for stability and traction, and 27.5” at the rear for increased maneuverability and agility. A full 29” configuration is also possible to suit different riding styles and trails.

The rear suspension kinematics are designed to reduce the impact of obstacles on the wheel, improving tracking and maintaining high speed on the roughest sections. The Öhlins TTX22M.2 rear shock and the Öhlins DH38 M.1 fork with 200 mm of travel offer racing-level sensitivity and stability, ideal for the most extreme lines.

The 7-speed SRAM X01 DH drivetrain ensures reliability and precision even in the most extreme conditions, while the SRAM Maven Ultimate braking system delivers consistent power and control in every situation.

Used and developed with athletes of the caliber of Loïc Bruni, the Demo Race has proven its potential at the highest levels, quickly becoming one of the reference bikes on the world circuit.

Tip: to receive the bike ready to ride, you can add the “Bici montata e regolata dai tecnici Cicli Drigani” option to your cart for €59. With this service, the bike will arrive assembled, adjusted, and ready to ride. Without this option, the bike will be delivered in the manufacturer's original packaging and will require some technical work before it can be used safely.
