HaydenWilson Posted February 2, 2015 Share Does anyone in Gauteng stock transition or banshee bikes? All my bikes got stolen last night so I am looking for replacements. I am particularly looking for a short (ish) travel but playful bike that is reasonably light that I could ride trails hard on but also use for the occasional long haul slog. I am not looking for something that is completely #enduro or completely XC marathon but something that is fun and a bit different. I particularly like the look of the banshee phantom, or the transition smuggler (however the Scout also looks quite nice!). for some reason slack head angles and low bb coupled with shorter travel appeals to me. Anybody know somewhere that stocks these or something similar? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amberdrake Posted February 2, 2015 Share A-line MTB and Outdoor do Banshee, there is a post on it here just search. They having test days all over you might even get to go for a spin before buying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted February 2, 2015 Share Yeah I am liking the transition more than the Banshee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceB Posted February 2, 2015 Share Floating rear triangle would sway my bias to Banshee. But Transitions are just as desirable with regards to pure descending geometry. Just buy a Spitfire, with a DB inline and Pike, post it and spoil my year. You know you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
