Nice Ride...

Ill also go with the forks let it down.. only because they look dated compared to the rest of the bike even though its a '05 frame some newer forks will revive this beast...

Still fair play and owed a 10 for this

Rate my SX plz :)

I clicked on this ride because i thought i was about to witness a white demo 8 with fox 40s! I was half right, and even though theres nothing wrong with boxxers at all, i was a little disappointed!

riderboys's profile image

riderboys said on 22 October 2007

have to say after snaping 5 of the specailized demo 8 they dont work they have no much going on with the rear end which leads to fualts and cracks

Buckaroony replied... on 9 December 2007

frankly my bike is now nearly 3 yrs old and shows no signs of cracking, despite my best efforts to trash it. It apparently only affects the 2005 model so any other Demos are structurally fine, mine must just be one of the lucky bunch.

Buckaroony replied... on 9 December 2007

Buckaroony replied... on 12 July 2007

theyre under half a pound more than fox 40rc2's and less than 888 rc2x. so no, weight isnt the issue, the harshness of its small bump ride is.

born2bike replied... on 25 January 2011

I wouldn't say the forks need to go, you could just get them resprayed.

Buckaroony replied... on 8 July 2007

you're right I do need some new forks, these Boxxers are a bit $hit. Some nice 888's or Fox 40's would be good. Hmm where's that credit card?
