Have good times with your family and loved ones. And hopefully awesome riding too!

Made the effort to get out to Maryvale Pines this morning with a couple of mates. It seems very well designed, easy to ride and pick up speed on and with mercifully moderate climbing. Best runs of the day were M&M, Top Gun, Essential Services and Woodstock. Damned good fun, and it flows...

Best riding trails I've ever seen. Have a great time! And it's even better when it rains.. grip for days.

I wish I were riding on those trails... Just jockeying my workstation as usual.

Sweet ride, and it's great to hear the stoke is high. Full power ebikes are a blessing and a curse for some. It can make it too easy and you can just power through things. Both climbs and descents are different. If you're able to keep more than one bike it's great, especially if you're short...

Certainly was great fun wasn't it! Top riding mate, and you had some legs getting up those climbs.

Yep, I remember them in the UK at the time. Folks were hyped on them but they cost about the same as a BMW M3 which was of course madness at the time. You'd have to be a special rally enthusiast to spend that on a Subaru over a BMW, especially when the whole appeal of the WRX STI was "people's...

I'll be in that queue too, they'd look perfect on the Paradox.

It runs 148mm boost but 83mm BB. I'd love to see if it were possible to run a standard wide range cassette on this, and 190mm Zeb or 38 fork so it's a super enduro kind of bike. With 29" rear it'd possibly make the sta and hta acceptable for more than pure DH. I saw a rider running a Pivot...

Incidentally I just watched this and it seems others are convinced by the concept.

Gunn Barrel without a full face and pads would take some confident riding. And there's no easy way about it, the climbing at Redhill is painful unless you're on an ebike or like that sort of thing. And Pins would have been great fun, just watch it in the wet as the sniper roots will have a...

Awesome bike. Love the Banshee Prime, and the Paradox too. I reckon it's best at 27.5+ too.

Lovely, this bike looks so damned good! But this really needs to stop now if I'm to hope of saving money. There's a resurgence in beautiful looking raw alloy frames posted here which I'm finding increasingly difficult to resist. :oops:

Top report, and stunning photos. Your partner sorted out an amazing birthday surprise there I think. Great memories for sure.

I know you tried long and hard to get the Deviate right, and seeing you land the desired set up on on this so quickly proves you made the right decision. Stunning looking bike and great attention to detail on their frame design, especially for taller / larger riders.
