You can opt to build it with a 100-150mm travel suspension fork or go fully rigid (the frame compliance balances nicely with the feel of a steel fork). Extra bottle mounts for mounting cages, tools or even bags, it’s ready for quick rips or epic multi-day adventures. Engineered with FEA optimized forgings it delivers our loved vertical compliance and vibration absorption for the smooth, controlled, and fun ride you expect from a Banshee.

The Anomaly blends the best of both worlds, the efficiency of an XC bike and the confidence inspiring geometry and burliness of an all mountain rig. It’s a fast hardtail that begs for long days in the saddle and effortlessly handles rough backcountry single track. With a design that invites you to push your limits, it’s the perfect addition to any rider’s lineup. Quench your thirst for adventure with a frame that's engineered for rugged exploration and exhilarating rides.

Raw Raw - Our new completely raw aluminum finished frames are hand brushed at the factory and will naturally oxide slightly over time to develop its own unique smokey patina. Embracing the perfectly natural imperfections as the frame ages will tell a story of your riding journey, making your frame truly one-of-a-kind…. Or you could polish whenever you want it to look brand new again if you prefer.
