Banshee 2017

[bhibbert]

Cyclingo has been good to me, to good even. Much better then the "best price" Defcon was willing to give me on my rune.
That is the best thing about dealing with good local tassie business, true and honest always looking to help the customer out.

Why do they churn through distributors?The hydroforming looks great and the weight loss is long overdue.I really want a Rune.

I think it's more, jumping on the band wagon. There's already defcon, single tracks, a mob out Yarra Valley way, sendit bikes, and another I can't recall the name of. Another in the mix can only be good for us buyers.

Looks like a new distributor for Banshee:

Probably why Defcon are selling off frames.

Interesting use of the term "distributor". From what I know, they're trying to sell Banshee frames...but they're certainly not the "distributor".
I'm under the impression that Banshee doesn't use an Australian "Distributor" but instead uses a direct to bike shop sales model.

I think the correct term is dealers.

They are like the horse, one hit and you're hooked.

Yes, dealer is the correct term, however it's a worry when their own Facebook page refers to being the "distributor" and dealer.

So multiple dealers Australia wide, so they sell direct to the consumer I presume.

Also this mob too:

2017 models looks the good as well.

That's the one I couldn't think of the name.

I do wonder why the change to 31.6 seat post though?

Because I've just sold a 31.6 dropper, and converted another 31.6 to 30.9.

Everyone knows moorey, only runs the bestest, obsoletest gear.

I have it on good authority that 31.6 is the gold standard.

Even with the reduced positions o the dropouts, they'll still be some of the most versatile frames around. Wonder if the boost drops will be backwards compatible.

Whilst not compatible with the old frames, I just found this from Kieth himself on MTBR

To confirm, the new dropouts are not compatible with old frames or vice versa as part of the project for me was to make them lighter and more compact. However boost 148 dropouts will be avlaibile for old frames as an aftermarket option shortly.

If someone could persuade the big bike companies to stop releasing unnecessary standards every year in order to make money, then none of this would be an issue... Ho hum, as least our modular dropouts offer you guys options.

So strange for a bike company to care about its end users and how long they can use there bikes and keep up with the other makers standards.

 

[jrewing]

Hard not to like the company isn't. I want to buy a frame from them just to support them even though I don't need one.

Hi Guys,

Any idea of what shock options there will be? Am hoping a coil will be an option. Will the pricing be similar to what they cost at the moment?

I'm told late November early December for the bikes to land on Australia.

Monarch plus and ccdb, are the options from banshee be I'll be offering factory x2 float and coil.

Pricing hasn't gone up.

Seriously? Shirley you'll just go through 13 different shocks, regardless of what comes stock...
