Swapped frames over from Banshee Prime. New bike season hooray. It rides well thus far more seat time needed. 31.9 just under weight goal of 32lbs... First build kit we went for as light as I could with parts lying around. Could have done 36 in 170mm to save the last but of weight but eh too lazy
Sick bike, and incredibly light too. What do you think of this bike in comparison with the Banshee?

More active suspension. Longer wheelbase, very steep seat tube angle, climbing all day is easier, lighter weight. That's all so far..

I really rate the Shimano M7120 and M8120 brakes (the new SLX and XT 4 pots)
I've had M8120s on my last couple builds, doing a new build in spring and gone for the same again
The i-spec IV levers are nice, the power is great, the bite is way more consistent than previous Shimano brakes - and of course the pads and service parts are available everywhere - any bike shop you go into will have what you need.
I have not tried Formula. Those do look nice though. Trick stuff looks good too.
Curious to see if Trickstuff will become more attainable since being acquired by DT. I’d love to try them
I wonder how long it will take them to clear the 2 year backlog (as I keep ranting about, ordered some in March 2020, still not arrived, promised by the end of this month)
