A new Banshee?

[The Reverend]

Of course the answer to this should, in my view, be yes...

I saw this on IG yesterday. Seems a new Banshee Paradox is soon to be released.

I'm not after a HT but if I were, this would be high on my list from the looks of it.

 

[Ultra Lord]

Do want.

Very nice bike, I love aggressive hardtails and I reckon every top frame manufacturer should have some in their lineup, thats mint.

You should get one.

For review purposes

Yes. Yes I should.

 

[Spike-X]

Well, hello there!

 

[slowmick]

That is a thing of beauty.

 

[Jpez]

That is a thing of beauty.

It certainly is!
But I can’t help thinking those seat stays and Alloy frame look like it’ll be a harsh ride.
It’s a lovely looking Agrro hardtail but it would need to be steel for me to even contemplate it.

 

[Ky1e]

Love it. Looks to have all the right angles going on. But yeah I reckon steel is the go!

does this mean only 50 frames are getting made?

Yes.

 

[The Reverend]

Form an orderly queue. I'd imagine these will be sold in no time at all...

Personally I'd rather they just made a long travel Prime and stopped getting distracted by hardtails. But that's just my preferences..

 

[goobags]

Would compliment my stable quite well

am loving the raw frame finish with little decals, nice steep as & slack ha

I really need to throw a leg over one of these new fangled stiffies.

 

[The Reverend]

I really like the look of it but I feel the rear centre is too short on XL sized bikes.
It certainly costs a few pennies too for an aluminium hardtail frame, and I LOVE Banshee bikes..

 

[Daniel Hale]

is expensive isn’t it

Yup, it certainly is. It's more than I've seen a SC Chameleon frame for at retail.

I've opened my mind to an aggro hardtail over winter to save the maintenance on the FS bikes. It'll also sharpen up my riding too.

Totally on board for a long travel prime. I won't ever have a hardtail as a main bike ever again. Please Banshee, fill that 29" wheel niche the rune currently fills for 27.5 (with a 470ish size large reach...)
