Win a Banshee Titan with the 2021 MTBco Bike Raffle

PRESS RELEASE: MTBco

We're super excited to announce the 2021 MTBco Bike Raffle of a custom built Banshee Titan worth $10,000. Proceeds from the raffle will go directly to supporting and improving our local trails. Partial proceeds are being donated to Elevation Outdoors.

Tickets are available for $10 for 1 or $25 for 3 and will be on sale between July 1, 2021 and August 12, 2021 until midnight. The winner will be drawn on August 13, 2021 at noon and contacted by MTBco. Tickets may be sold and purchased in British Columbia only.

Tickets are available HERE.

In 2021, when buying a new bike can be extremely challenging, if not impossible, MTBco has managed to do the impossible with huge support from Smith Creek Cycle has teamed up with Banshee Bikes, We Are One Composites , One UP Components, Tannus, Sensus , Magura and Ride Wrap to put together the ultimate Okanagan Trail / Enduro bike.


The Banshee Titan is an entirely new, ground up, no compromise, 155mm travel 29er designed to tackle the hardest enduro days. Don’t be fooled by the fact it doesn’t have huge amounts of rear travel. It will climb and handle far better than the cumbersome competition, and dominate when pointed downhill.

The suspension is incredibly supple off the top due to optimized leverage curve and zero friction linkage to achieve maximum traction . As you ride faster, harder and the trail gets rougher the progression and characteristics of the linkage and stiffness of the frame really come into their own with huge amounts of confidence inspiring control.

Prepare to grin maniacally when charging down through technical, fast, steep, and fun descents. Are you brave enough to explore your personal limits, because the Titan will take you there and encourage you to go further and faster than you imagined possible.

If you’ve already purchased an MTBco 2021 membership, thank you for your support. If not, please keep the trail support going year round by renewing your MTBco membership here.

Tickets are available HERE.

Mountain Bikers of the Central Okanagan (MTBco) is a trail organization that builds and maintains trails and advocates for the mountain biking community in Kelowna and the Central Okanagan. We engage with all levels of government, as well as with other trail groups, to secure trail networks for the future. We also put on social events, group rides and host trail days.

Elevation Outdoors is a Kelowna based charity that has been focused on breaking down barriers to the outdoors since 2007. Our focus is on helping youth find a passion for the outdoors through specially designed programs that focus on mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing, snowboarding and more. We provide all the equipment participants in our program need to participate, transportation to and from the trail head each day, and provide it all at no cost to the participants that meet our eligibility criteria. Since 2007 we have helped hundreds of youth get outside, connect with mentors, and build a better future. With small groups and ratios of 2:1 participants to volunteers the youth are able to build strong relationships and really build their skills over the course of a program. You can learn more about Elevation and our programs at www.elevationoutdoors.ca.

The support from the raffle will help us continue to expand our programming. Since the pandemic hit, the demand for our programs has never been greater. As a response to that, and in an effort to continue to build greater diversity in the outdoors, we are working to develop a mountain bike program that is specifically for young women. To provide a safe, comfortable space for female-identifying youth aged 12-18 to learn and discover the sport of mountain biking we believe will help the participants learn and find a passion that can be with them for life. We believe in the power of sport to change the direction of someone's life, and with the support from MTBco we will be able to develop programming that will have a positive impact on our community for years to come!
