Sx feels brilliant!
Light,nimble.!

Are you kidding?!
The Rampant is a sick bike, it pedals incredibly well, corners just as well and is the lightest of the three... which makes it amazingly nimble as well as stable.

Those idiots never rode a rampant. What is more, they probably didnt even read the net about its weight. Its a light bike with rad geo and suspension. Add great Banshee Customer Service too that. Its quite easy to contact the frame constructor, not some random CS guy like it will happen at spec.

If you want some more info about the rampart bug some people about them on the banshee forum on mtbr.com. They are quite helpfull. Also banshee designer has a pb account under builttoride (if Im not wrong - has some banshee photos in his profile Wink ). Keith is very helpfull so unless he is very busy he should be very helpfull. Im very happy with my Legend and I would gladly buy other banshees to fill my stable. Great feedback and support.


btw. For 2011 they plan offering custom colored links for that little extra bling if you are into that kind of thing Wink
