Twenty-two years ago, the Specialized Demo set the standard for what a gravity race bike could be. For the newest generation, Specialized came to SRAM with a concept—a compact internal drivetrain that would change how a DH bike moves and behaves. Years of development led to a two-chain system that was built to handle extreme torque and was packaged in a way that allowed for significantly more bottom bracket clearance, improving ride characteristics through previously unattainable geometry numbers. This reimagination required custom cogs, idlers, chains and bearings resulting in what is now known as HighGear. Read more.
