BansheeScythe

 this bike is a awsome downhill bike...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................

 Mine came with fox dhx5, bought it to replace my old Scream. Nice attention to detail, Banshee quality. Rear end feels great, nice and simple lines. I use it for DH mostly, Banshee says thats not their fastest bike but its enough for me. Im gonna get a Legend when im fast enough.

 Very underrated frame. People instantly say it's too heavy, but it aint bad at all. Mine comes in at a respectable 17,5 kilo's or 38,5 lbs and I can throw anything I want at it, it will just go on and beg for more. Very lively rear end, don't be fooled that 4 bar's are crap, this design is pretty freaking good you'll get loads of feedback on what the bike is doing. And that's just with a dhx 5.0 i'm really tempted to try the rc4 it would be even better. Can't really fault it for anything, I might not like the maxle cause it's a bit tricky to get the wheel out but that's not Banshee's fault. The 2 suspension settings have both 2 geometry settings aswell making it a whole lot more adjustable to different riding locations. Don't hesitate if you're thinking of getting one, you won't be dissapointed.

 I have had the first year Banshee scream since it came out and it is an exceptional freeride/big drop bike. Very durable, well constructed, Pipp is a great guy to deal with, always helpful. The bike is quick handling for shore style stuff, so in it's stock form with dual 26" wheels it is a little steep for high speed DH. This can easily be changed buy putting a 24" on the rear.
I have mine setup with an avalanche chubbie shock and a marzocchi shiver DC. Excellent pedaling out of along travel bike. I have ridden/owned/sold sooo many bikes and this one is my favorie for super technical, what most people would call "sick" riding.

 awesome frame, very clever ideas have gone into it with grease ports and thread inserts so that the frame cant be stript ana brake. rides amazing, feels super fast and is sweet to jump

 The successor to the Scream, one of the greatest bikes ever made. Great geo, super strong frame and much less stress on shocks than the Scream was.

 adjustable geometry, adjustable travel, amazing amount of fun, just the right mix of bull dozer, helicopter and race car.

loves to plow, loves to jump, loves to go fast

 solid, it really is built to last, really good for jumping with in 180mm travel mode, and it feels really secure on the trail, encourages you to push yourself, great bike

 incredible bike, super fast, super smooth, super tough and realy nice looking. if you want it .....get it. it has no faults.

 A very balanced bike, bend very well and is very agile! With the possibility of regural for your course.

 this is better than a girl...you can ride it all you want and NOT have babies...its also more fun to ride!

 love it, lightweight, easy to peddle but can take a beating

 Not too heavy, built like a tank, feels great in the air

 i recommend all banshees

 its dope

 For DH and FR =D
