About time, i’ve been waiting for a review of this for ages!
sounds like a direct competitor to yeti asr 5 to me – but a few hundred quid cheaper
I test rode on of these and found it to be exactly as described – fantastically accurate and comfortable, but slight DH orientated. Charliemort – I ended up buying an ASR-5, on th basis I use my FS for racing. The ASR-5 (with a 120mm) for is better uphill and uses its rear suspension better IMO, and had a longer TT as well as being lighter by several pounds. That Yeti with a 140mm fork would be a more direct comparison. I’d say the Yeti feels stiffer laterally also. However, if I didn’t race I would have bought the Lime Green Bandit no question, as its a fantastically fun bike and I’m sure it would be an absolute hoot at Trailcentres.
which shops are doing 0% finance on Bandit Transitions I so want one…..!!?

Forest leisure Cycles in Bournemouth have a few of these at £1,119.

I wanted to demo one, or at least throw a leg over one, shame you aren’t oop north.
our 2012 demo bike is being build early next week if anyone is in the south and want s a look. its a large (which is more like a medium as they go to xl and have short top tubes.)
Just ordered one for £999.99
BARGAIN!!
