Banshee Prime - Coming Together

Last week I posted pictures of the Banshee Prime CNC parts. During the week Pacific Prototype Wizard Teddy completed the front and rear triangles. In the excitement we have started ordering parts for the initial frames to see how they roll.

The drop outs are adjustable and interchangeable = geometry options. Making the Prime versatile right out of the box. (Currently 150x12 and 135x10 options, if the demand is great enough for the new 142 spec we will look into offering it.)

The rear triangle has come together nicely and will give the Prime a distinct look, while remaining 100% Banshee.

 It comes down to the chicken and the egg. If there are more frames on the market where a descent all mountain fork is needed, the suspension companies will oblige. In a few years when all the major frame manufacturers have copied Banshee and have their own 29" all-mountain rigs, there will be many option for customization. This is simply the birth of a new class.

I love my Rune and I will definitely be looking at the Prime if I decide to go 29". As someone else said, size does matter.

 The thing about a 29er dh/fr bike (if that's what it will be), how many long travel forks are there available for 29ers? I can't even think of one.... It's different for XC bikes, but even then, the choice is fairly limited.

 not only that, but there will be a loss in strength in the wheels and a natural increase in weight. acceleration will be slower aswell, but in the long-run, besides constantly maintaining your wheels, there are a lot of benefits to bigger wheels. such as low roll resistance, higher speed capability, easier landing and more stiff rides. i just dont see myself using it unless im sponsored and racing in the olympics, but i understand its purpose.

 I guess you haven't seen the Intense 2951 which JD Swanguen rode to 5th place in Fontana last weekend.

cleghornphotography.zenfolio.com/p699597404/h168f83f8#h168f83f8

The fork was covered, so your guess is as good as mine (Dorado most likely). You might get more info here:

www.vitalmtb.com/features/One-Year-Later-Intense-2951-29er-DH-Prototype,112

This isn't in the same league as a 2951, but maybe closer to a Lenz Behemoth, since the Prime has 130mm of travel (29er wheels makes it feel like 150-160mm). It'd go better with some of the 140mm forks out there like the Reba RL Maxle Lite or 44 TST2 Air 15QR.

If you want a 29er DH that's available now, check out the Lenz PBJ. Check with Mike at www.lacemine29.com for wheels to go with it.

 i doubt the 29 inch wheel will catch on in the dh world... turns slower, stops slower, accels slower, and is weaker in general. sure the rolling resistance (sp) is higher but i can't see the pro's out-weighing the con's... that being said, i haven't had the chance to ride one. so its purely superficial.

 Question to Keith from Banshee: do you think it makes any sense to attempt to make such frame from some high quality steel? i.e. Reynolds 853 or 893. Especially that you keep so much profiles straight clean.

BTW bike looks great, all the element of the design seem extremely convenient to make the chainstay as short as possible. 29ers seem to speak to me more and more lately, as something that can push the boundaries of do-it-all bikes even further. Perhaps some fun factor might be lost, but there's more to MTB than just hedonism Wink

flag terrorfirma (Feb 24, 2011 at 1:20)
 I can probably field this one. [jay@banshee]
I love 853 and love 893 even more but when i talked to the Reynolds guy they didn't do the 893 in the tube sizes that we need.
Also when we look at the BB shell/main pivot forging those parts would be very difficult to machine and break a lot of tools in the process. So if you want to make this bike in steel it would look very very much different and it would actually cost a lot more too.
But steel definitely makes some beautiful bikes.

flag WAKIdesigns (Feb 24, 2011 at 2:49)
 Thanks a lot for answer! Can you mix steel types? Like to make those parts taking lot of effort to process from "softer" material. Can you tell which material is in your opinion most enivronmentaly friendly? extraction, pre-processing, eventual recycling?
I am more and more drawn into this ecobike (no I don't mean this el-bike cr... something Wink ), I would love to build my own one. For instance full suspenson bike seems more convenient in that manner: more elements men more trouble making it, but it also means if you break something somewhere, you can replace it. in HT if you break a chainstay you need to replace all frame. baaaa... my head is exploding with those ideas...

 I would say all the "metal" bikes are recyclable... I don't know about carbon bikes.
During the process metal is cut, forged, cnc'd so its light industry... it does use electricity to power the machines but probably the same as an office building. The dirty stuff is probably the anodizing and painting but no dirtier then painting your house or changing the oil in your car...make sure you dispose of the crap properly and not down the drain.
In the end nothing is totally green... electric cars a powered by electricity that comes normally from coal, oil, nuclear or...but its good to be aware and responsible as much as you can.

 Sorry to beat a dead horse, but yeah Al is incredibly recyclable as the wikipedia article says. Unfortunately, virgin aluminum is on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, requires mining of Bauxite ore which is incredibly energy intensive and incredibly poisonous. I dunno if you remember the spills in Hungary from October of last year, but it was a huge environmental disaster stemming from an overflow of ponds used to store the waste from aluminum processing.
www.environmentalleader.com/2010/10/06/toxic-industrial-spill-kills-four-people-injures-120-in-hungary

Oh the things we do in the name of progress...

Anyway, obviously that has nothing to do with Banshee, just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

I'm wondering: how long are your bikes are usually in testing before you release them.
Also, I remember reading about the geometry for this a while ago on PB and I'm wondering if there's been any major changes since the original computer models. How confident are you that the tweaks in geo for 29" wheels will be enough, based on previous experience? Obviously there haven't been very many 29" AM bikes yet, so there's not many mistakes of others to learn from, right?

 That's all we can do: vote with our money. Just don't buy it. If more people would be aware of such things, we would have at least a bit better world.

Another thing is that most probably we don't need so light bikes, we are fooled into believing that lighter is better. That would be true in case of XC Marathons on fireroads, with minimal obstacles. That would be true if there was a discipline of MTB called UPHILL. For everything else form Trail to DH: momentum is most riders friend. I believe any HT under 12kg can be considered lightweight, as well as AM under 15kg and DH under 18kgs.

RideON! Kitchen scales just screw up our sport!

 OK, nice to see the industry evolving and progressing, no doubt 29ers are more stable on the track, but looks count too. You wouldn't buy a Ferrari with monster truck wheels, would you? It's all about taste and matter of opinion but to me the 2951 looks ridiculous with those huge wheels. I haven't ridden one and I'm sure it rides better than the regular 951, but I'd still go for the conventional version, maybe I'm just shallow...

 My experience is the 13 1/3" BB is too low, it needs to be 13 3/4 min. As for forks I have a set of 44 lowers on a the uppers of a Super T that Ive shortened the stanchions by 30mm. Now I have a more all mountain friendly head angle and coil and oil suspension. I built this fork with the intention of putting it on a Prime but am currently running it on my RIP.

 Fork companies could eliminate the need for long travel 29" forks if someone would make a 15/20mm eccentric front hub that would allow you to use a 29" wheel in a 26" fork.

flag diroc (Feb 24, 2011 at 2:25)
 Preventing the eccentric hub from rotating would be a huge issue. A splined or keyed axle might do the trick, but the fork would have to be custom designed for the axle then anyway. Any other retrofit (eg. picture a pedal brake on an old bmx, with the extended arm clamped to the chain stay) would likely put too much stress on the lowers.

Moreover, this seems akin to using block spacers to lift a truck just to accommodate bigger tires... kinda mickey mouse. The right way is to just get bigger suspension!

flag seraph (Feb 24, 2011 at 11:32)
 It would be fairly easy if you used an offset locking axle. Frankly though a regular eccentric bb seems to work quite well with a simple wedge system. Seems quite doable to me.

Not that I´m a twoniner-fan myself but don´t we all wanna go faster down the hill? It´s like that skinsuit debate a couple of years back where the UCI banned them because it was deemed more important to look "moto" than going faster down the hill. The sport needs to decide where it is going.

 Yea not a fan either, at all. Personally think its a dumb idea and mtb industry needs to stop reinventing the wheel and just make it better. But yes the point is to go faster, but my point is, if you have a 450 you aren't gonna be able to enter in the 250 class in moto right? So if say .. sam hill is on a 29er thats just even more unfair lol. Im sure you know what i mean. And as far as the "tights" lol ill leave those to Robin Hood. Thank god that style has come an gone.

 White brothers make a 6 inch travel 29er fork too. There still isn't enough options for forks and wheels and tires for my liking. Plus I find all 29ers too long, and I am a big guy. The bikes are naturally longer due to the larger wheels, and on tight single track I find that to be an issue. I find it an issue even on some of the XL bikes I have owned in the past. But that's just me.

 I think Rock Shox and Fox are both developing a more all mountain oriented 29er fork ...
