Banshee Bikes Scream Freeride Full Suspension
Product DescriptionSCREAM GEOMETRY
As you will notice these frames have fairly long top tubes and head tubes, to help coax you into a smaller size. If you're going to do a lot of pedaling and climbing to get where you want to go, get a bigger one. If you're dirt jump hucking and freeriding, get a smaller one. Prices: Frame only: $1389 (US) Journeyman: $2299 (US) Gucci: $3099 (US)

Urban/Mountain rider Date Reviewed: February 28, 2013 Strengths: So basically this bike once you get it going not even a brick wall can stop it, it is so strong ! No matter what you are landing on you can have complete confidence that it will hold up, probably if you jumped off a cliff you may not live but this bike sure will. The handling down a hill is amazing the faster you go the more stable it is. Has a back 24" sunringle rim that thing is unbreakable accidentally hit it with a sledgehammer didn't do anything actually hurt my sledge. Weaknesses: Lets just be honest this thing is heavy, very heavy and if you aren't good at going up hills then don't get this bike. But after biking on this every single weekend for 3 years there is nowhere I can't go with this thing. Its more difficult finding 24" tires for the back wheel but more of an inconvenience than anything else. Bottom Line:

from Melbourne Victoria Australia Date Reviewed: December 1, 2005 Strengths: Ergonomically perfect, it feels like my Scratch with big wheels. Adjustability, low bb for better DH cornering or high for dirt jump or freeride and if you shorten the wheelbase it manuals like a BMX. Burl, by far the most over-engineered piece of freeride machinery on the market, I mean you don't stand on top of a cliff with a Scream and ask yourself "will the bike take it?" And god damn dose the Josh Bender edition look sweet. I tip my hat to the boys at Banshee Weaknesses: Ha ha ha ha haaaaa! Ooooooooh Haa Haa ha ha ha ha haaaa! (chuckle chuckle) ha ha haa... Oh your serious? thats even funnier!

from Victoria, BC, Canada Date Reviewed: August 6, 2004 Strengths: 2004 - big and burly, fixed weak spots of 2003 Frame. - Been riding a scream for almost a year now, and still have to admit, most fun and versatile bike I have ever rode!!! - 10 year warranty. - Based in Vancouver - Specifically designed for Freeriding (Though I\'m still passing everyone at Whistler, didn' t know the medium size could go so fast.) - 16.75" chainstay ability. Weaknesses: No ability to shift derailleur forward or back with the 3 rear axle positions. That's okay, I only use 1st and 2nd anyways, so not really that big a deal. Find the 3 position just too long for freeride. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 1 Year Purchased At: 2250 Cdn. Similar Products Used: Everything, this is probably my 20th bike. Bike Setup: 02 Monsters, Hope Mono M4s, Hadleys, etc...
