If you want to race I've never seen a complaint on this and I dont know the conversion but I think that's about right.

Word I love mine. It is the first bike I ever had that caused me no stress or problems. Bombproof , stiff, crazy cornering and great susp. I'm actually afraid to change it.

Good to hear positive feedback, i was hoping to get one in one to two years, depending if i wanna sell my Scream or not. Found a couple at decent prices too...

Great review, and its good to hear ALL feedback, positive and negative. id imagine that Banshee would change their technology after 8 years from my Scream, but thatll definetly be my next bike.

Scream and Legend were designed by 2 different people. That explains the whole change from screams, chapps and morphines to legends, rampants and spitfires Wink

Also if you look around Keith posted his Masters paper on the Legend. The final frame is a bit different and I think he may think a bit differantly about some ideas but it is still a good read.

Legend is fantastic , but its a pure DH race machine.

It feels quite good in the parks as well. It may not be as agile as a park bike but that kind of bike makes no sense around here.
