Ignore him, he doesn't understand abbreviations
although a bit more detail would help (Budget, riding style ect.)
Mondraker is probably better value, but the Spesh looks fantastic.
And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

the spesh looks like every other specialised in the range... the summun looks amazing with the superb magic hydroforming.0

IMO the Mondraker looks like all the other Mondrakers, but chunkier (although the group I ride with has 2 Dune XR riders, so them almost seem common to me ) I like the 61 degree head angle on it though And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

The Spesh looks like a dog trying to squeeze out a particularily stubborn poo. I'm sure it's completely brilliant and all but it offends mine eyes.Uncompromising extremist0

and that is when it does actually become more important to be clear.
As when not using your native tongue misunderstandings are easier to happen."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

The Demo probably would be more manoeuvrable, and will be a great bike, but after looking at both a bit, I prefer the Mondraker too.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Both bikes will be tough enough for anything you care to do with them.
The Mondraker also has an adjustable head angle as far as I know, to change the geometry, and therefore the handling.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Try both, then decide.
Especially as neither are cheap.0
