2010 Banshee Legend MKII - Spy Shots

Feb 22, 2010 at 3:15
by Rob Dunnet  
Shots taken at the Banshee Factory in Taiwan.

I am not going to waste space with a lot of words, I am going to let these pictures do the talking for me. I will just say that I was lucky enough to be locked in a room with a couple of 2010 Banshee Legend MKII frames and a camera. Trying to fit one into my backpack crossed my mind a couple of times. I should have brought a bigger bag.

Pics inside,For more information on the Legend MKII frame visit www.bansheebikes.blogspot.com.

You may have noticed that on the black frame there are two green bands on the seat tube and on the white there are three red bands. This is because the black is a medium and the white is a large. For the black and white frames there will be three bands for the large, two for the medium and one for the small.

I tried to leave the factory with one tucked under my shirt, but I was stopped by security. I guess I have to wait until they are in stores like the rest of the public who wants one.

Keep riding,

Rob Dunnet

 Banshee is making products that just scream quality right now. Stiff, strong, sexy to boot, and just oozing with quality down to the hardware choosing to go with titanium. I'm not sure why some people have their panties in a bundle over cost... Why would you expect a smaller company to go lower in cost than all of their competitors? This isn't Mongoose or Sette.

 The LEGEND looks great!!! For those of you knocking the Taiwanese made frames Giant spends 8% on Research and Development in a 60 billion dollar industry per year 5 billion is there take from what I researched. Who else does that? Have you seen GIANTS lineup this year? They have the latest, greatest, most sophisticated equipment to weld these frames together and make alot of frames for other companies as well not to mention any names. Giant also has bigger buying power in the industry which results in cheaper prices for better materials used to develop frames for you the consumer so be thankful you get quality for an awesome price!
  • 3 0
 well said ...
  • 3 0
 ill get negative propped to hell for this no doubt, but it looks like a lower quality version than the first. the big chunks of ali around the shock used to be 100% cnc made, now it just looks like a big casting with the inside has been milled a bit. not that its necessarily any worse, its just a bit sad cause it was increadible what they did, given how much it cost, with the first one.
  • 1 0
 they're forged apparently, still looks to have cnc work on the inside of the cradle though
  • 1 0
 yeah they'd have to do some CNC work on the inside to face up the pivots and stuff. its just a pitty, forging is nowhere near as nice or precise as CNC work. dont get me wrong, i think its still very nice, its just now its only in the same league to me as a giant or a sunday, where-as for the old frames i thought them up there with Nicolai, Racebike or Canfields.

but like i said, when i saw the price of the earlier CNC'd ones, i was genuinely amazed at how they could do it for that price (i know the cost of that shit as well as anyone, trust me)...and i guess i was correct at thinking that they couldnt.

on the upside, forging is only done for fairly large scale work, so it must mean that we're all gonna have the opportunity to try one at some point.
  • 3 0
 We could have stuck with the CNC machining on the basement, but it would have meant that the MRSP would have been about $3600 for frame and shock, due to price of the machining as you mentioned.

Forged material is also quite a bit stronger than machined material due to grain alignment that happens during forging process... so the forged parts are lighter, stronger and cost the customer less.

Forging can only be done to a certain thickness without compromising quality, so the foging is done acurately for external, and then internal is machined down from the slightly thicker base forging. This also increases precision of internal faces as you also mentioned.

 "yes lets compare a taiwan made frame to super exotic american brands what are imported to the uk in small numbers"

Legend is made in small numbers too - don't get "hung up" on 'where' its made - Taiwan is not actually as cheap as you might think Wink


we have only 6 Legends frames coming to the UK for the start of 2010 - hardly a big number?



"had something like 2500GBP in my mind.. without shock"

Legend is GBP£1999.99 with Fox RC4 shock, seatpost, seatclamp and pivot spares

 "it looks more like a copy of a specialized demo if you ask me they just changed the size of the like to make it look slightly different. thats it thats all"


Demo is FSR

 "just because one bike is overpriced doesnt mean another one has to be too

if they knocked that price down they would get much more people, if i had 2k to drop on a frame id go specialized because of the size of the company and the support they provide"


I would not say either the Legend or Demo are overpriced - compare their pricing to Santa Cruz's V-10 (£2600) or the Intense 951 (£2,300) in the UK

bear in mind, that Freeborn sells "direct" to customer, cutting out the "middleman", so that customers save about 1/3-1/4 compared to other 'brands' that have distribution to regular bike stores

if the Legend was sold at trade prices to bike shops, and then to customers you would be looking at a UK rrp of £2,500

its not a "cheap" frame to manufacture - if you want an affordable, quality bike get a Big Hit or Giant - if you want the exotic you pony up and get the Legend, V-10, M6/951, Evil, etc.

 Looks awesome, the full build @ Vital MTB is very nice too. But srsly, if the TR450 is going to be cheaper, that´s the way to go. Loving the quality&service and all that from banshee, but what counts for most people is the price. 2000€ would be the absolute maximum I´d pay for that frame.

 The polish price is only a tad over it, doubt you find it for a lower price. Not many higher end dh frames below that price.(retail at least)
  • 1 1
 So I Love banshee's but now knowing that they're manufactured in Taiwan is surprising, you'd think with the price of these bikes they would have them made at a local Canadian fabrication shop. I have nothing against this but that's why I own a Stab, manufactured somewhere else AND also much much cheaper. does anyone know if all frames are made in Taiwan or just the MKII???, is the Scythe made there as well?.
  • 4 0
 All Banshee frames are made at a small high quality factory in Taiwan, the same place they make Canfield Bros and Evil Revolts.
  • 1 0
 A good portion of all of the quality bicycles are made in Taiwan. I was surprised when I found out how many of the big brands are made there. Santa Cruz, Specialized ... and the list goes on and on. Chances are you are riding a bike that was made in Taiwan. And the frames that are produced in the USA ... good chance that the tubing for the frames came from Taiwan. And even if your frame did not come from Taiwan ... some of the components ... if not all of them were manufactured in Taiwan.

 Welds on the chrome frame are a little ugly / messy for a frame at that price point imo. Probably not a structural issue but those inconsistent beads are pretty obvious. Would like to see a little cleaner finish in the high-end market they're going after.

 my banshee's welded the same like this all over, its what you get when a bunch of chinese orphans weld your frame! :-@

It seems the average Banshee/Transition fan is like the average applemac/Ipod user, more concerned about image and glossy exteriors than quality and won't ever look closely at their frame :@ lol

 but the frame is too expensive for a taiwan frame, even if the frame is one of the best on the market

its well in the pricing ballpark compared to many other bigger "brands", selling their Taiwanese DH race frames for the same, or even more money into the UK market

Specialized 2010 Demo II frame is £1999.99 in the UK

Legend Mk2 in the UK is also £1999, including Fox RC4 shock

the other Banshee suspension frames in the UK are typically selling around £1200 (Scythe, Spitfire, Rampant)

...it tells you something about the sheer amount of manufacturing time / cost, even in Taiwan that the Legend takes to make (for example the shock "canoe")

  • 3 1
 have you ever emailed or tried to contact one of the bigger bike companies like specialized? it takes forever for them to get back to you ... if they ever do. With smaller companies like Banshee of Transition emails are answered within a couple of days ... and usually by someone who knows what they are talking about. From simple tech questions, request for stickers or something more complex the smaller companies are there for you. That is why I would pay for the quality and customer service you get from the smaller companies ...

 Banshees support is rediculously good in my experiences.
We had a question about my dads scythe and emailed banshees customer support and the next day Jay McNeil himself had emailed us back with the info we needed, why they made it that way for the scythe.
Another guy on mtbr found a small issue with his frame with wear conditions in his specific riding environment and banshee sent him a new frame with a custom fix to his problem.

... the specialized demo is a good bike but deffinatly not going to come with Ti hardware like this nor will it have the same amount of design and engineering behind it (this was a masters degree project to begin with!)

Didn't they keep the linkage system the same?
  • 1 0
 The linkage design has a lot of anti-squat if you are running sag of 33% or less. Good for pedalling, but might feel funny if you're not used to it. The more sag you run, the less anti-squat you can feel. (I have a Mk1.)

 I do totally agree. That's why I bought black anodized Scythe. So called "Team" paintjob needs more polishing. There is no need to add more of everything, maybe "Team" could be a completely clean frame, like Amp.

  • 4 0
 Actually this frame costs a lot more than nearly every other frame priced at same level and higher. Taiwan is not cheap like China. The reason that so many bikes are made in taiwan is not due to price, but due to the fact that the industry is massive there and established. This means that they have all the tooling, skills and materials required for bike manufacture. There are many manufacturing processes and materials that taiwan are capable of that you cannot source in the wester world. Ever tried to source 7005 Aluminium that doesn't come from Taiwan or China? Tried getting hard anodising done in the west, it is not easy to come by.

I bet this frame costs twice as much as a V10 to manufacture.
  • 2 0
 The reason of price for a taiwanese frame:These frames are built at pacific cycles a factory of legendary precision and quality. every legend frame is also hand inspected by Jay(the owner of banshee) he moved out to taiwan a couple months ago to supervise the building of these frames

 wow, the Banshee reps are all over this page trying to 'correct' peoples pov's about cost/taiwan etc. Man it looks so unprofessional!

I just sure hope Banshee have improved the design of their pivot housings as the bearings clamped against nylon bushings to tighten them on my banshee them is pretty damn lame - and certainly doesn't allow the linkage to be responsive enough for dh use!

I think the frame looks nice, albeit a near copy of an Iron Horse or Karpiel linkage design, but up close that horrible mass/mess of welding is sure to crack pretty soon, hope they've got a good warrantee dept! :-)
  • 1 0

 banshee has always been honest about were their product is made. i think it is time for some other brands (not just frames) to step up and be honest about where their product is coming from.
  • 4 0
 Don't you realize that despite the fact that a bike may have the same linkage as another, it can feel completely different. Pivot location and linkage shape can change the wheel path, leverage ratios at certain travel lengths etc; which alters the feel of the suspension. There are tons of virtual pivot bikes out there: vpp, maestro, dw, etc., but all of those bikes perform differently. Not to mention differences in weight, headtube geo, chain stay length, seat tube angl, bb height and so on. So even if the suspension type is the same as many others, it's certainly not a "copy". Oh, and it's spelled warranty by the way.
  • 2 1
 psilde - my pov is more along the lines that by banshee's quibbling with the average pinkbike user makes them look like a backyard project trying desparately to gain some credential for how they do things, any person with an ounce of common sense knows that the whole made in Taiwan over made in 'our' country debate will never end [ever thought that Taiwanese people might have pride in things made in their country?] so joining the debate is pretty naive and IMO, looks bad for the company - if people have questions, then they should talk directly to banshee.

builttoride - glad to hear you changed the bearing design, do the mk2's have a forged or cnc'd shock cradle? - p.s. glad to see you got rid of the machining lines in the milled cradle pockets, IMO they just made the frame look like it had only been rough cut and botched out the factory in a hurry - looks much better now!

 As i told a guy above. It has a 9.5" shock. And has 8" of travel. What are you even complaining about.

 I used a 300lb spring with my 75ish kg's, for pure dh. 350 for fr. So yes, the leverage is low. Witch is good for making the shock last longer due to less stress on the shock.
