    Did GMR and Webb today.

    So far great feel, turns really good. Feels a bit heavy during sprinting (yes i pedal thru the flat sections). Need to work on the front fork adjustment, bounces a bit when things get very rocky and technical.

    Did a few small jumps, feels awesome in the air, landing are buttery. HT angle is excellent athough short HT height makes the front end a little low during the steep stuff (decline).

    Climbing is a biatch, feels heavy going up, but bombproof going down. Stock bar are lovely, great control.
    Specialized Butcher tires rock, Avid brakes are delicious.

    Should adapt to the setup in about a week.

    There's a reason they call them downhill bikes.

    it tuff to pedal up Cholla and the rest to Car wreck. I find that it takes me longer to get speed from a slow speed to high speed when I sprint.
    This rig shines on the downs, it's solid as a tank.

    You can actually make it up Cholla on that? Wow, I can barely pedal my dh bike around with a 38t front 26t rear. Nothing but standing and slowly mashing with walking. Then again im a horrible climber who is consistently out of shape, haha.

    Nice rig, I really like the demo's a lot. My boxxer (team) just didn't feel quite right until I changed the oil and packed the seals with slick honey, it also took a lot more rebound damping then i would have suspected like 5-6 clicks out from full in before it felt plush through high speed chatter. Ride it like you stole it, and have your bike shop cut those lines down to size.

    Opened up the compression and slowed the rebound. Really helps on trails like at Aliso or Southridge.

    Running 32lbs of air and also cut the seatpost.

    Getting dialed. Might look into a ISO Tune evaluation.

    The Demo is a sweet bike. I love mine too. Retired my Intense after I bought the Demo. However, it's nice to have two bikes now!

    Great bike, its a blast to ride.

    The BB is low which is awesome for turning but need to remember to have pedals even over tech stuff to avoid pedal stroke. The components are all great, brakes are awesome, grips rock, seat bad ass, bars are nice and wide. The low center of gravity is awesome. The front end is a bit low which sometimes feels to a bit too low on the steeps. I changes out the spring on my medium from a 400lbs to a 450lbs since I way 211 lbs and now rides much better.

    The Boxer is good although a not as smooth as others forks I have used, I am yet to feel 100% on the fork, but still good.

    It pedals a bit slow when I accelerate maybe cause of the weight 39-40lbs and a bit of pedal bob prob due to the suspension design.

    I shuttled and raced it all season and it is holding up great.

    I would recommend this bike, it doesn't hurt that it has a killer design and paint scheme.

    Good value for the money, I got a great deal from Mike at Fullerton Bikes. Hope this helps.

    Here is a pic of me on my Demo at Aliso (Rock-It). Love the Demo! It was soooooo smooth and responsive in Mammoth.
