Banshee Prime V3 - The evolution of the all mountain dominator.
The Prime V3 is the epitome of an ‘all mountain’ bike. From long days in the saddle hunting miles and summits, to hitting steep techy rowdy trails; the prime handles it all in a composed and balanced manner.
Finding the perfect balance between playful nature, and the ability to plow through the roughest sections of trail due to the progressive linkage, the Prime V3 enables you to ride faster and more fluid. Combined with optimized weight distribution and ergonomic geometry the prime cannot fail to put a smile on your face.
Moving the Prime to the KS2 linkage platform which has been optimized for All Mountain adventures; the Prime V3 begs to descend even more than its predecessor. While showcasing improved climbing efficiency, and lively, sporty character.
The All Mountain dominator is even better than ever, and ready for your next adventure!
