Couldn't have said it much better. I know Brandon, and have worked with him in the past. He's a great guy and definitely knows his $hit. I am not discounting his knowledge and reasoning as a product manager either, he knows what it takes to sell bikes and has a good track record of getting it done.
If your dealer builds it, (considered buying a frame but I won't pay a shop to do a build).
More like...national brand and access to employee shop discount equals flying off the shelf.
So there's some news. I'm guessing not as linear as the current model but not as crazy ramped up as the original demo?
You are correct, not as ramped as the original Demo 8/9 and just a little bit more than last years 8. Right in the sweet spot. Relies less on the shock damping for bottom out control and increases sensitive off the top.
The 2010 Glory 1 is $4000 with a Boxxer team and a fox DHX RC2
Bingo!access to employee shop discount equals flying off the shelf.
Kona Stab Deluxe $2999
Too bad its a Kona
That's exactly what I've been looking for. I'm thinking the Demo 1 is the best choice, but does anyone know if specialized is still making a DH dedicated bike in the future years, or are they keeping the demo? I wouldn't want to get a new bike and have something new and better come out the year after.
That is the inevitability of being a consumer, something bigger, better, or cheaper will always come out after you buy yours.
Wow. Is it possuible to answer that question?
If that's the way you are thinking about it then you should never buy a bike because the bike companies will always be a year or two ahead of the consumers.
I get what you mean, but look at the changes of the Sunday, or Demo over the years, versus something, like the Atomic, or the Wilson etc...
