Banshee Prime

Hey looking for a bit of guidance. Ive run an Orange Alpine Evo for past 3yrs but looking to change. Really fancy a Banshee Prime in mullet setup.   Riding the south Lakes most weekends; Grizedale etc. Only question mark over the Prime is 135mm rear travel. (Orange has 155).  Anyone have experience of the Prime and how it rides?

I had a v2 with 160mm Lyriks and it was superb, riding similar to you mention e.g. Laggan, Ochils, etc. I’d still be on it now only it developed a hairline crack on the top tube and I swapped all the bits onto a Canfield Tilt. Really, really capable bike that rode a lot bigger than 135mm. I’d happily have another.

Not fancy a Rune instead if wanting a bit more travel?

Amongst my many bikes, I’ve owned both Rune and Spitfire in previous years.  Runes a rocket ship in the right hands – I don’t own the right hands!  One reason I’m curious over the Prime is Banshee make a very good product but my previous ones were V1s.
