What happens when you give a dream downhill build to a mechanic who knows exactly what to do with it? Steed mechanic Maxime had the chance to bring this Specialized S-Works Demo 11 to life, building up a no-compromise DH machine with some of the best components SRAM and its partners have to offer.
From the RockShox Boxxer Ultimate and Vivid Coil Ultimate DH suspension to the SRAM XX DH Transmission and Maven Ultimate brakes, every detail was chosen with one goal in mind: going fast.
SRAM captured the build in its latest BUILT video, and we were stoked to have Maxime and Steed be part of it.
