Banshee2013 Rune

 This bike does everything very well. I like that the geo is adjustable and if I want to I can convert to 650b with some upgrades. I've played with the bike geo settings via rear drop out flip chips and appreciate the flexibility to change my mind with a ten minute process if I want. It pedals up steep techy climbs very well without being the lightest out there. It helps to have a travel adjust fork. I've never been one to watch weight too closely and when you get to where you're going i.e. The top of a descent, it really does ride like a DH bike. It doesn't hold me back. I'd say it wouldn't be the right bike for rolling terrain but it's exceptional for enduro style riding. Go for the DBair option at $2200 for a frame it's below average for comparable designs. No regrets and plan on keeping it for a long time.
