2009 Specialized Bikes sponsored Sam Hill and Brendon Fairclough. Most of the tweaks and geometry changes they wrought upon their race bikes made it into the 2010 Demo 8's. And with Sam hill winning the World Cup, I'd say the geometry changes were pretty darn spot on. The BB is even lower and the angles are much slacker, and it just screams fast.
The flagship Demo 8 model comes stock ready to race. Boxxer World Cup Fork, Fox RC4 shock, Custom Avid code cr mag brakes, XO (in red even) Rr DR, X9 shifter, Thomson S/post, Gamut P-30 chainguide, DT swiss F550 rims, this bike is ready to fly.
There is even some pretty cool detail like the headtube badge which is raised.This bike is in store right now and at a super hot price of $7799.
We even have Sam Hill 5.10 shoes for the real fanboy's
We also have a 09 Specialized Big Hit II. This bike is a true bargin, $2599, Fox Vanilla R coil shock, Rock Shox Domain 302 fork, Sram shifting, Avid Juicy 4 brakes, chainguide. This is a bombproof ride for a steal of a price.
