whichever has the most fenders and integrated torx holders.
2010 DHR or 2011 demo?
- Thread starter quickneonrt
- Start date
and places to put Monster stickers
Then the Demo will still be boat loads cheaper.
actually not
dude if you could really get either brand-new, unridden/un-mortal-tested bike for the same price, why wouldn't you get the DHR? It's US-made, has DW's backing, and will be ultra lusted after by all the fanboys on this forum... I would estimate, also, that after all this time, DW has put just a tiny bit of effort into it...
Not to put down the demo, which I'm sure will also be a great bike, but to me, boutique vs. mass production, same price, boutique wins.

DHR will probably have higher resale value too.
Really??
MSRP for DHR=$3195
MSRP for 2010 Demo 8=$2200, so 2011 will probably be $2500 or so.
$700 difference in MSRP and you are telling me pro deal (shop price) is the same for them?
That's crazy!
Its pretty close
never said the same just not as drastic of a difference as you would think.
true point.
gonna need some fenders:
nah, the three foot long link and seventeenth stay will fenderize the torx values....oh noes, it has allenz!
No DU to wear out though.gonna need some fenders:
the blk/yel demo looks like a Tonka truck
you mean torx heads

I just saw the geo chart of the 2011 demos and the HA and BB height did not change, but the TT is a lot shorter than the 2010 models. The new M is in fact an S at 580 mm....or is this all realted to that super short HT?
At 183cm i normally run an M, but the demo looks pretty small from the figures in M

I believe is because the seat angle and head tube length changing the effective top tube. Further proof for DH bikes top tube is a nearly meaningless measurement.
The reach numbers (where you actually touch the bike) are nearly identical between 2010 and 2011.
2010 Geo
2011 Geo
2011 is adjustable? how? ( mean bb height/head angle)
A small eccentric chip in the rear shock eyelet.
Actually I did, can't believe people crying over needing a new tool.
Pure beauty. DT+DW for the win!
Have you decided on either?
not yet still trying to sell stuff to get the money together, now with the M9 it makes the choice even more difficult.
I would say go for a DW DHR. I don't have one. Never ridden one. I know I loved the DW link on the Sunday and the Firebird.
I currently own a 2010 Demo 8 II and I'm not liking it. I like the short chainstays and low bottom bracket, but I'm not getting along with the suspension. I have an '05 Enduro Comp 130, '05 Turner 5 Spot and spent alot of time on a friends '10 Enduro and '10 Stumpjumper FSR. I find FSR lacks the overall plushness that DW/Maestro have.
I'll be ordering a Glory in January.

Really? It's not a bad choice to throw in the line-up but I got the impression from reading other posts you weren't much of a VPP fan.
I wasn't till I tried an M6 and 951. The VPP bikes I rode were older and weren't set up optimally for me, an Uzzi VPX 07, V-10 first gen and an 07, the newer bikes are very different.
For the money they are charging for the DHR it should at least come with the Cane Creek angle set, like the M9 does.

fair point. considering the prices now, the M9 is a sweet option as it comes loaded with nice features/adjustments. i haven't ridden any of the 3 in question but i can't imagine being disappointed with any of them. ferrari vs lambo vs mclaren......good luck with that decision
