To find a modern mountain bike with geometry similar to a 2011 size medium Specialized Demo 8, you need a frame with a ~430mm reach, a ~593mm stack, a super slack ~64-degree headtube angle, and ultra-short ~421mm chainstays. Modern frames are universally longer (for stability), use steeper seat tube angles (for climbing), and feature larger 27.5” or 29” wheels. Because of this, modern downhill bikes will feel much larger, and a modern size small might actually be the closest modern equivalent to your older medium.
