 Toughest frame I ever owned! Held up to much more abuse than expected! Very nice machined parts and custom tubing(extra rib square stays/Easton RAD top/down tubes), for the low price! Better then that seen on bikes for three times the price!

 Pretty much everything awesome about this frame has been covered here already. Light, strong, incredibly stiff. The one thing I haven't seen yet? With the 3" tire clearance in the back, you can fit a 29er wheel and tire in the back. This is my next project, working on 29er wheels that are worthy of this frame!

 I had this frame for 3 years with a variety of different forks on it. loved it with a 24" rear and a 26" of front paired to my 02 Monster T. I loved this bike and now wish that id never given it up. So confidence inspiring!!!

 super beefy, super versatile, this bike is such a fun ride! very solid in the air. mines set up for DH, and it is pretty heavy, but this bike will probably never break. dh and fr are good, but i wouldnt recommend it for any other disciplines really

 In a size small, this is the best all around frame I have ever owned. It could handle everything. I had it a single speed with 24" wheels and a rigid fork, and I also built it up with 26" wheels with a 66 and a chainguide with 2 front and 9 rear gears. I could DH, Freeride, hit up Cross Country trails and Dirt jump. If you are selective with your build, this bike will do it all and do it all well.

I'm Jones'n to be back on a Morphine again. Like some kinda junkie or sumpthin

 Frame:strongest, stiffest, bitchenist (if thats even a word) frame iv ever riddin.
Some may find it a little heavy , but for what your gonna use this for , its pretty damn light.
For street/dj or even freeride/dh i would recomend size small, it feels right on, even if your a big guy.
Head tube WILL NOT BREAK. Theres no way in hell you will ever break that thing,nobody has EVER, and if you do, banshee has great costumer service to provide you with your every need.

 Very stout bike - handles whatever I throw at it. As I am a larger guy (6'4" ~ 200 lbs) I knew that I needed something to withstand the constant punishment I throw at my bikes - especially my street/trials rig.

I've modified my chainstay's to adapt a 12mm thru axel and it has worked well, combined with many other top notch parts I am thrilled with the ride.

 This is a serious tough motherhucking frame. It can take some insane abusing. Can even be ridden with a monster t fork. It will outlast anything you have had before.

 The strongest frame ,Ive ever ridden,very well put together.
It's lighter than I would have expected & is capable of handling a fork with 8 inches of travel.

 The burlyest hard tail I have ever ridden. It can do everything and then some. If you do not care about weight this is a sick bike.

Banshee Morphine (MSRP $691) — Argueably the strongest frame in the industry, the morphine was made for the rider that kills his bikes. The badass frame takes the punishment and throws it back at you - "is that all you got bitch?" It can handle any situation and can be built to suit different riding styles and disciplines
