Bikes and frames will be in shops early September and there is a Demo 8 II bike, Demo 8 I bike and a frame option that will be available.

Curtis Keene On the 2011 Specialized Demo 8

The frame now uses a “shock extension” or “bearing adapter”. The shock is totally stock, but we slide on a Y shaped piece. This allows us to put the shock pivot in a location that was formerly not possible – right next to the tire.

The 2010 and 2011 ( red 2010, black 2011 ) :

The geometry is all the same, but they added one more size: Extra small ! The rear axle is now 150 mm, from the 135 mm of the 2010 frame. The bottom bracket is 83 mm, using the new Press Fit Standard (BB30) . The frame will also be more progressive in its spring rate curve than the previous model.

Avid Code 2011 brakes in the last pic !

The new Code is 40 grams lighter than the last year’s model, weighing in at 410 g ( front/ PM ) . SRAM says that, even though the brake is now lighter, it will have better power and modulation .
The Reach adjustment will be tool free, as the Pad Contact one.
It is said that the Code will have a cheaper version, dubbed the Code R.
