    Frames or parts under high stress may fail, causing you to lose control or fall. Because of the risk involved, Specialized recommends that you conduct a thorough inspection before each ride. If you miss a jump, ditch your bike in mid crash, dump or launch your bike without you on it, inspect yourself for injury, then carefully inspect your bicycle for damage.
  • Page 5 Specialized does not warrant the bicycle frame or components for such activities, and expressly disclaims all warranties, including the warranty of fitness for particular purpose and merchantability.
  • Page 6 In order to help minimize the chances of an injury, it is critical for you to have work performed by an authorized Specialized retailer.

When using an outer chainring (in place of a bash guard) the design of the Demo 8 & 9 requires that the front derailleur cage be positioned 3-5 mm above the outer chainring to prevent contact.

  • Page 18: Warranty

    ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS This Limited Warranty is made only to the original owner of this new Specialized bicycle or frameset purchased from an authorized Specialized dealer, and it shall remain in force only as long as the original owner retains ownership of the Specialized bicycle. This Limited Warranty is not transferable. In order to exercise your rights under this limited warranty, the bicycle or frameset must be presented to an authorized Specialized dealer, together with a receipt, bill of sale or other appropriate written proof of purchase which identifies the bicycle or frameset by serial number.
  • Page 19 USEFUL PRODUCT LIFE CYCLE Every Specialized bicycle and frameset has a useful product life cycle. The length of that useful product life cycle will vary with the construction and materials of the bicycle or frameset, the maintenance and care the bicycle or frameset receives over its useful product life cycle, and the type and amount of use the bicycle or frameset is subject to. Uses in competitive events, trick riding, ramp riding, jumping, aggressive riding, riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates, riding with heavy loads, commercial activities and other types of non-standard use can dramatically shorten the useful product life cycle of a Specialized bicycle or frameset.
