XXIV Factory Banshee Scythe Race Bike
XXIV Factory Banshee Scythe Race Bike - 17.5 Kgs
Well it has been a while coming, but we now have our factory race bikes rockin’ and rollin’. Pictured is Dave Hetherington’s XXIV Factory Banshee Scythe Race Bike. It is tricked out in a custom Banshee team paint job, Industry 9 DH Wheelset, Gamut P40, Straitline Levers, Straitline Wedge Stem, Full SRAM / Rockshox / Avid / Truvativ kit thanks to our mates at Monza Imports (SRAM Australia) and Maxxis Tyres.
It obviously hasn’t been ridden yet, but Dave will be riding it non stop this week to get everything dialled in for the National Series Finals in Mt. Beauty. We will let you know his thoughts when he has got some miles down on it. We will be up at Mt Beauty for Saturday and Sunday in the little yellow Marquee, come and say hi, especially if you want to check all the sexy fresh produce. For any non-racers…or just guys who don’t care…come have a drink (or 20) with us on Satdy night.
This is an interim bike for Dave, who will be racing on the Legend frame as soon as it has been produced, likely within the next couple of months. But the Scythe has built up to be a worthy DH Race rig with an awesome weight and some great geometry for racing, so we are expecting it to perform well.
