750d already existed in the same French sizing system that gave us 650b 700c etc: "In the French system, the first number is the nominal outside diameter in mm, followed by a letter code for the width: "A" is narrow, "D" is wide. The letter codes no longer correspond to the tire width, since narrow tires are often made for rim sizes that originally took wide tires; for example, 700 C was originally a wide size, but now is available in very narrow widths, with actual outside diameters as small as 660 mm." https://www.sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html It was supposed to be replaced...

DH bikes aren't made to have wide appeal to consumers, the current demo is an obvious sign of that. Respectfully, they do not care if the consumer would be miffed at an expensive cassette or don't really care about total cost of the frame +/- 500-1000. Besides, it's not an either or... maintaining UDH compatibility still allows for cheaper, standard mount drivetrains that have a variety of cost options. There is no reason that they wouldn't go to a UDH design when all of their other rear triangles are headed that direction. It seems obvious that they would go to...

I know they're completely different bikes but man the cavity in the downtube and shape of the chain stays near the BB area really reminds me of the current generation Jekyll.

It’s a satire page. Once you’re aware it’s great entertainment.

Maybe this will clear a few things up

And add a proper xl size

It would be really cool if they kept selling the current aluminum demo with a poverty spec for people that don’t want to refinance their house. For what it’s worth that bike seemed universally liked.

Another wild thing about this Demo is that it uses a GXP spindle for its crankset. We're almost back to isis bbs haha. And it seems to me that you aren't locked into running sram drivetrains, just the special crankset and Chainrings, but you can run anything else on the back of the bike.

Specialized dropping a highly anticipated elite level S-Works product, and you’re surprised…?

Frame only starting at $6,500?
