OMG! That bike is awesome. Is it only an other rumor that it weight just 37 pounds?

37 pounds isnt very light when you think that Treks new Session 88 DH is 37.5 pounds out of the box so yeah.

flag gustofwind (Nov 26, 2008 at 9:55)
isn't the demo 37lbs right out of the box as well? and how is 37lbs not very light? i wouldn't say that it isn't light becuase ONE other bike comes out of the box just as light. many other bikes weigh more, so 37lbs is actually good in my opinion.

Dont get be wrong, 37 pounds is light enough, however i would bragg that my race bike was 37 pounds when you can buy a bike that weighs the same. I suppose it has to do with rider preference, and stuff like that.
Lots of other bikes weigh more than 37 pounds yes, but this year more and more production bikes are getting light.

the 09 demo 8 I is 40lbs flat out of the box, because of the heavy spec tires, i think the 8 II is 38 out of the box, sams race bike is 37, and you cant buy that

the new 303 rdh is 37.2 out of the box for the upgraded spec. which cost less than the demo

The backdrop of the photo looks like its southern california. i live just south of where this photo might have been taken. i think it's near Cardiff by the sea. Im stoked for Hill this racing season. hes gonna kill it with the demo he's got. i wonder why he left iron horse for specialized. iron horse is more race bikes and specialized has more freeride/slopestyle bikes, Thiough the demo is a race bike as well as a freeride bike. I saw a guy at fontana this past weekend who had a demo with the same paint job. it was hot and i think he won his race class.

'The race bike' What they have to share it cuz they only signed for 1 year!?

I'm assuming they'll get a monster green paint job soon... Better yet, a red/black/grey cammo job like the Monster Assault cans, that'd go with more spesh stuff!

I wanna see their P3 & Sx's too!!
