read that again. That's why.

As you get higher up in the demo line, you get more travel and more weight.

Are you racing or doing fr?

more freeride but i wanna run a double crown fork like a 888

Then I'd suggest the 8.

demo 7 is a freeride bike (steep head angle), demo 8 is a dh bike (slack head angle) and the demo 9 is a big hucking bike(weighs a lot).

the demo 7 has a travel limiter installed
the demo 8 does not

remove the travel limiter and guess what you have

of course you did,you assumed that the demo 7 was shorter due to shorter travel,never even taking into consideration that the 7 is a bike with differing design needs.

you felt it nessecery to argue the point without factuality so yes you were well and truly owned,good day sir and just take it like man.Salute

7.7 inchs of travel.

demo 7 runs 2.5 inch stroke shock.

demo 8 runs 2.75 inch stroke shock.

in theory the demo 7 should be able to run a 2.75 stroke shock with no ill effects,other than a ever slightly steeper head angle.
