You can read about there history on their website: [url= http://www.bansheebikes.com/about.html ]Banshee Bikes[/url]

The Legend MkII has been a long time coming, I've seen many a new bike but I'm blown away at how well this thing is built and delivered. Can't comment on the ride yet but after this weekend I should be able to as we open our hill for the first weekend of the year 8)

Swedish DH Cup kicks off in 3 weeks so need to get use to it quick 😆

Banshee bikes are designed by a Scotsman that lived in BC, the ultimate designer!

Even without wheels, that looks fast.

Dude that's a sick ride!

I'm on my second Banshee and will definitely buy again. Keith (designer) is a nice guy and really helpful..

Finally built and ridden, albeit with a couple of borrowed parts, but it was enough for a weekends riding.

My initial impressions are extremely good, very stiff and the rear sus works like a dream 8)
