I have a Spitfire, a Phantom and a Prime. The Prime is my favourite. So much so that I have a 2016 Prime on order.

What do you think of the Phantom? I very nearly built one up earlier this year until my brain leaked out of my ears and I decided I NEEDED a 140mm travel 29er instead. I regret nothing.

I originally went from a 29er to a Spitfire because I thought I needed the smaller wheel size and extra travel to have the fun I was looking for. I never felt quite comfortable on the Spitty... so then after a can-not-resist-deal from Defcon Cycles, I moved on to the Phantom. The Phantom is awesome, so much bike for the small amount of rear travel. I credit the Phantom for opening my eyes to what a low and slack 29er could be like. Best thing about the Phantom for me is how it carves fast berms... just feels so good. I think the Phantom is the most under rated bike in the Banshee collection... I don't think they sold that many of them. I certainly don't see a lot out on the trails. I was looking at selling my Phantom (Bought an Evil The Following) frame, but now think I'll keep it for my son to move onto next (He's currently riding my Spitfire).

Running 4 pot hopes too :woot: Went on a bit of a big rotor buying spree. Running 180f/r on the XC bike.....the 9yo may even end up with 200s on his giant,if I ever get motivated to finish it.
