Banshee Bikes, bike porn thread

Hairy - considering the lack of support for X-Fusion in SA up till this point, I would vote for the CC...at least the agent is active in the MTB community.
X-Fusion will be moving to a better agent soon, but still need to find out what spares are available with the move on legacy equipment.
Bonus of the CC is it can be tuned to any bike, and the Spitfire was designed initially around that shock.

If your mate does want to do a deal on CC / RS swop, please come and chat to me, we can work out a deal!

Peach - you are going to dig the Phantom, unbelievably capable short travel 29'er...I have had an absolute blast riding mine. Going back onto the Spitfire is going to be interesting!!!

Prime for 2017 for sure!!!

I don't think I will ever get off the Spitfire, it's just so much fun to ride and wants to play.

So far the Phantom rides really well but needs that little bit more effort to play.

 

Die Force is gef ok... once you start you just can't stop.... :)

Agreed, Try all 3 for yourself and see what works for you, its pretty easy and quick to change.

 

I have ;) the low volume can ramps up to quick, high volume can feels great.

Hi Peach,

 

Have you had the shock custom tuned or you running a M Comp / M Rebound?

Hi Peach,

I'm running the standard Monarch RT3 with a high volume air can.

I think the tune is MS

It was ramping up too fast with the low volume can.

Some respectable pictures of the Banshee Phantom, 105mm 29er

 

I must say i'm very impressed with how she rides.

Very comfortable on general trail, single track and even 5hrs 94.7

Have to work it a bit more than the Spitfire but it can still smash all the corners, tight single track and jumps surprisingly well for wagon wheels.

 

Definitely wouldn't say no for a ride on her but for me the Spitfire still wins for the fun factor.
