The Banshee Legend MK I - Review - The Mark II is even better.
The Legend MKI has one of the stiffest rear triangles I have even ridden in a long time...if not ever. If you grab the rear wheel and give’r a tug there is no movement. Even try to push the rear stays around without the wheel in place and you realize just how solid those internally ribbed chain stays are. Combine this with a ridiculously low COG (center of gravity) and this bike rails off-camber lines and rockets out of corners. Geometry is dialed with a nimble chain stay length and slack enough HA (head angle) for the nastiest of rock gardens and steeps. Suspension is smooth and controlled even with a hack like myself at the helm and brakes. Go ahead and grab that brake way too late, you will have traction. While any of these factors would be enough to put the legend MKI on any racer-boys wish-list, there are a host of visuals to the frame as well. From the “machinist wet dream” CNC work on the lower canoe and ribs to the boldly hydro formed tube junctions, the Legend MKI is a visual extravaganza in person. In summary all of these qualities make the all new Legend MKI BH bike by Banshee a phenomenal racing machine with beautiful lines. I feel honored to be a part of the original testing crew as I am sure this frame and suspension platform will see a very bright future!
