Only the one pic i have on my PC :/
Used to ride trails a few years back but work got in the way etc. My new work offer a ride to work scheme so I decided to get a new bike, yeah its from Halfords but now i can play with it and make it perfect!!

Also, i cannot find a Orange (the colour) chain anywhere, any one know where i can get one, would be much obliged!

Criticism and ideas will be taken on board :)

    WHY would you get an orange chain?

    You'll never make an XC flier of a Banshee, even with the air shock the frame weighs in at about 3.8Kg, so focus on using it as it's meant to be and enhancing those dapabilities!

    A mate has one with Revelations, SLX brakes, Halo Combats etc....ploughs through anything
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    If you want a new/better/more colourful chain... Get a gold KMC one?

    I actually wouldn't turn my nose up at the Banshee X.

    My banshee x runs 160mm bombers on the front and I've converted her to 2x9 with a bash and stinger. It will cope with most downhill runs and is pretty much bombproof.

    Very underrated bikes.
