Looks like they are more weight conscious now. The old Scream was a TANK!!

looks like it will have that nice low center of gravidy just like a demo but with the linkage almost like vpp on the m6 where the lower link conects to the shock eye

My guess is that the production model will have hydroforming on the downtube to bring the shock even lower and so to the bike`s centre of gravity. Should be sweet.

Its gourgouse, the guys at Banshee love the C.N.C. Damn it looks good. But think how well it will hold onto mud. I had a chap and was hart to clean up.

It's like the Banshee Demo, a few differences but a lot like the demo.

in what way is it like a demo? it has a completly different suspension system.... maybe you could get away with saying the top link looks slighty like the demos... but if you were to say that you could say the top tube is off a glory, the bb area us made by hope brakes and the head tube by cove.................. its nothing like a demo

Good to see Banshee back in the DH/heavy FR game! I thought they'd taken their ball and gone home after letting the Scream frame ride unchanged for too long. Love the linkage, although unlike VPP, there's no axle pivot. Let's see the build under 42 pounds, and I'll buy it.

i think the only reason why people think it looks liek demo is cause of the CNC'd BB SHOCK MOUNT area being all one piece, but there completley diff. this is a VPP not a FSR with a floating tire.
