Finally picked up my new DH race bike for 2010, a huge thanks out to Ras at http://www.rotationmtb.se for sorting me out, tis a thing of beauty 8)

Starting to build it up:

TBC tonight…

lovin'it!

oh my ..

very nice, why is it called legend, what's the history of banshee?

You can read about there history on their website: Banshee Bikes

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 😆

Thats mighty nice!

Sweet chariot 🙂

But dude the internet doesn't need any more 'unboxing' pics/videos/etc.

best packed frame I've ever seen 🙂

Damn you, that looks sweet, I want!

Got a Scirocco and a Wildcard at the mo, would also have one of those if ££s allowed

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..

i am very jealous

the current crop of dh bikes with a nice low shock and COG all look fast imo

transition
nuke proof (well when it comes out)
turner dhr (see above)
etc

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)

Dirty:

What a pair 😆
