With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

When sending it full gas down the run you want confidence that your bike will perform as it should and no material has earned its keep on the downhill circuit like our m5 aluminium. The reasons for this are stacking but primarily it can all be summed up by stiffness light overall weight and strength. That's why you'll find that our demo 8 i alloy was constructed from it in order to make your next shred-sesh that much more fun.
It's more than a one-trick-pony though as it also features a 1.5-inch forged head tube to enhance most of these qualities. As for the ride the demo 8 pairs our s3 geometry with an asymmetric frame design that ensures plenty of access a roomy top tube for added control ultra-short nimble chainstays a low bottom bracket that keeps you feeling planted and a slack front end that provides the utmost in responsive handling at speed.
For suspension this demo features 200mm up front via a rockshox boxxer rc 650b and 200mm of travel at the rear controlled by a custom-tuned fox van rc. Together the combo ensures that you'll be able to rocket over any terrain with confidence.
And when you add in a build kit consisting of sram's powerful guide rs brakes a durable one-by SRAM drivetrain and our legendary butcher & slaughter dh tires you get a bike that wants nothing more than to be pushed harder and faster.
