The bike is built to use either dual 27.5" or mixed wheel sizes.

The financial, environmental and supply chain issues surrounding eMTB production.

160mm of travel, one gear, and one brake make this enduro bike quite a unique ride.

A downhill bike specifically for taller riders? That's what Banshee say they've created with the new Legend 29.

The Legend MKII was designed with one goal in mind - going downhill. Fast.

Banshee listens to riders who want to do more with less - their 100mm travel Phantom 29er is far from being a cross-country machine. ISCG-05 tabs? Check. Reverb Stealth routing? Yup. Relatively slack geometry and thru-axles? You bet.

Just how capable is Banshee's 2013 Rune? We take to the hills on the new 6'' travel all-mountain monster to find out what the Cane Creek DBair-equipped bike is capable of.

It's Prime Time ... We at Banshee are really excited to see pieces of the new Banshee Full Suspension 29er showing up at the factory. After seeing the drawing in 2-D and then 3-D it is nice to be able to see some actual pieces.

The guys at Banshee have been working on their latest bike, a 29'er that is burly enough to tackle the Shore and whatever else you can dish out! It features a proper slack head angle, a new linkage design, and titanium pivot axles. Inside you can scope out what the new bike will look like, check out the proposed geometry, and get the lowdown straight from Banshee.

A closer look at what goes into the frames and parts we ride with.

After the Taipei Bike Show and Sea Otter I decided that it was time to build up a new bike for the summer. I had a chance to get a close look at a lot of products in Taipei and I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted to use on my bike. Also being in Taiwan and working out of the factory where Banshee Bikes are made I had a unique opportunity to take pictures of my bike during production. I had also lined up a couple of factory visits that fell through at the last minute. Lots of companies do not want pictures taken of their facilities or manufacturing processes. Thankfully I was lucky enough to be invited to the factory where Funn Brakes are made in Taichung, Taiwan. And I made the trip to Vancouver Island to hang out with Greg at the Straitline factory.

Check out my bike being built up from Taiwan to British Columbia,

Larock and Strahan put together this little video on the Banshee Spitfire and if it does not make you want to go out for a ride, then nothing will.

Mike Montgomery rides for Banshee ...

A couple of years ago my brother sent me a video of Mike riding in a skate park out in California. My brother said to keep an eye on this guy as he is going to be huge. It was great to see BMX inspired tricks on a mountain bike. For the past two years we have been Mike Montgomery fan boys. Always trying to find footage, pictures or results from the competitions he had competed in. Now we're very please to show you his Banshee bikes as Mike has joined the family

Shots taken at the Banshee Factory in Taiwan.

I am not going to waste space with a lot of words, I am going to let these pictures do the talking for me. I will just say that I was lucky enough to be locked in a room with a couple of 2010 Banshee Legend MKII frames and a camera. Trying to fit one into my backpack crossed my mind a couple of times. I should have brought a bigger bag.

A first glimpse of the first ever production Banshee Spitfire.

The Banshee Spitfire is creating quite a stir amongst aggressive trail riders out there who want a lightweight, low and slack singletrack shredding machine. The Prototypes (one of which which was shown exclusively on Pinkbike last summer) have been used and abused and tested hard, and all feedback from that, plus feedback from many bike forums has been taken on board and used to refine the design. This is the result...

Banshee Bikes (www.bansheebikes.com) and Team Geronimo (www.geronimoracing.net) are both pleased to announce their new partnership for the 2010 race season. 2009 isn’t even a memory yet, but Jay MacNeil, General Manager of Banshee Bikes, and Team Geronimo are busy preparing for a jump start on 2010 – ready to hit the National, International, and World Cup race circuits on Banshee’s new Legend Mk II DH bike and Rampant 4X bike.

If you don't know Jack, you should. Jack Fogelquist just hooked up with Banshee Bikes and is looking to make a splash in the slopestyle scene in 2010. Jack is from Scotts Valley, CA, which is very close to Aptos, CA, and will be a great training ground for him this winter. He just got his hands on Banshee's new slopestyle bike, The Rampant and their hardtail, The AMP. I recently shot with Jack for a few days with the new bikes.

The Legend MK1 is Banshee’s first frame to foray into the downhill race scene, but I wouldn’t call the frame beginner's luck. Many recall the burliness of Banshee in past years, via models such as the Scream and Morphine. Since then the boys over there have been busy combining the knowledge of how to build a strong and stiff frame, while applying some weight savings techniques resulting in a definite contender.

Check out my review inside,

First look at the 2010 Banshee Spitfire.

The Banshee Spitfire is a new frame that Banshee is adding to their line-up next year. It will be a 5" travel aggressive trail / enduro ripping machine with adjustable geometry and a specifically tuned VF4B linkage to offer the rider great pedaling efficiency as well as active suspension under braking.

The scythe is an enduring symbol of the harvest. It is also a symbol of death – the Grim Reaper of Christian lore and Kali, the Hindu Goddess of Death, carry Scythes. When it comes to a bike built for launching one’s self with abandonment and railing at eye-watering speeds, this is a bit unnerving. Fortunately, [L=http://www.bansheebikes.com]Banshee’s[/L] take on the Scythe is a lot more like the useful tool of yore – it is sharp, simple and durable. You can reap your just rewards.

Banshee Bikes has a long history in making bikes that are good for sending it and holding up to amazing amounts of abuse. The Rune adds a new element to that package as you can pedal the Rune all over and still charge the descents. With the Rune, Banshee has really entered the trail bike market with a beauty of a machine.

Jay from Banshee Bikes tells us all about the Rune and why you should take one for a spin. Video, pics and specs inside.

Another hot day at the Outdoor Demo and another cool bike for you to check out. This time we have Jay from Banshee running us through his 'so new it's not even done yet' DH bike prototype, the Legend. Being tested by the recently un-retired Mick Hannah, the Legend looks amazing!

Midway through the 2008 season, the DH race beast sunk its fangs deep into my blood. I suddenly had a burning desire to get on the track as much and as soon as possible. However, the limiting factor was I had dumped all my cash early in the season on a new “all mountain” ride more apt to the single track of my hometown of Rossland, B.C.

A short while ago we told you, the Pinkbike.com viewer, that we had received one of the new Banshee Wildcard bikes to do some beating on.

Well, we have abused ourselves, bruised our bones, scarred our limbs, and thankfully enough, but to no surprise, the Wildcard is still standing tall. The Wildcard has been hiked through 4 feet of snow, pushed through 2 feet of mud, rode through the pouring rain, and is still begging for more. Here's the full review on the Banshee Wildcard and the parts that made it go.

Banshee Bikes has been a big name since the 'huckfest' we knew as the late 90's. There were more Morphines, and Screams in the average garage than McDonalds wrappers on the passenger seat. After the 'huckfest' died off, big bulky bikes were turned into Pop machines, and Parking Meters. As the Industry shifts, Banshee Bikes continues to be up there with the big boys, especially with the creation of there Downhill, and Slopestyle bikes. The Wildcard is Banshee's answer to the growing love for Slopestyle bikes in the industry, and it is definitely a head turner.

Jay checks out the new Pyre with the VF4 suspension design as well as the Chaparral.

The Maple Ridge Cycle bike club is up and running again. Following a successful run last year, they’re back for an encore. Started at the beginning of last riding season by Troy and Rob (owner and manager of the shop), it gathered almost 100 members and had anywhere from 20-70 people out for each and every ride. Of the 100 members, approximately 20 of them were ride leaders, and the majority of the rest were kids aged 9-15. They ride an area with 21 trails and can tailor groups to any and all riding abilities. 72 rides later they hosted a year-end wrap up with special guests Ryan Leech and Jay Hoots. Free burgers, hot dogs, and pop rounded out a great year for the kids and their family and Ryan put on a fantastic trials demonstration to keep them entertained even through a torrential downpour.
