SCOOP! Banshee Bikes Review
Banshee bikes' motto on their website is "Screamin' Fast". Hell yeah! Their gorgeous bikes look fast even when they are stationary!

Banshee bikes will come out with 2 new bikes soon. The "Morphine" hardtail and the "Scream" full-suspension freeride bikes will definitely turn heads with their radically-styled tubesets and solid colours.

Frame material will be made from Easton 7005 aluminium. Brand names like Marzocchi, Funn, Truvativ and Hayes are just some of the parts that make up the delectable package on these bikes.

The beautifully-crafted horinzontal dropouts of the Morphine caught our eye and left us transfixed at the photo for the next minute or two. We thought that it was real cool....until we saw the even beautifully crafted rocker arm of the Scream!

Both bikes will be offered in 2 packages, the "Gucci" package and the "Journeyman" package. These different builds offer a myraid of different parts to suit the budget of differnt riders.

Keep your eyes peeled for the launch of their website, hopefully soon. We just can't wait to see more bikes from Banshee.
