I think Iīm the first to have the official and final Banshee Rune v2. Nothing but to say that this is the really first bike I see itīs almost perfect!!! Since the geometries (absolutely awesome) until the suspension system... probably the best Iīve ever try in my life ( my last bike was a Ibis mojo hd and it was a good bike too but... this Rune is outstanding)
Well.. before the photo session itīs important to point out some data to get a better idea about this kind of bike...
Frame weight --> Size L ( 3.6 kilos With shock) ( 7.9 lbs)
The main points of this bike are
Head Angle (With lyrik 170mm rc2 dh coil) --> 65š
Seat Angle --> 73,5š
Bottom Bracket Heigh --> 345mm ( So less than the geo chart even with the lyrik)
Wheelbase --> 1185mm
niiiiice...
pretty similar build to what mine will look like... only some of my parts are a little cheaper mine will also be raw, large, fox CTD, Flow wheels, Shimano brakes, lyrik coil fork, LG1 single ring,
Thatīs true... this is a massive enduro.... another level respect to the others enduro... Right now I understand Keith words... " These bikes are designed to be ridden, and ridden hard. "
He was right....

I think itīs not a weight weenie but itīs acceptable... did you see the bike?? Itīs simply a rock!!

The Chris king model you should choose to build on this bike is CHRIS KING INSET-2
3,6kg with FLOAT CTD?........ That would mean 3,4 kg only for the frame. This is far more massive than I expected. My Wildcard L-frame is around 3,7kg without shock, so thatīs pretty close for an AM-frame to a freeride frame....seem to be the replacement for the Wildcard in some way....This bike should handle it ALL....

The shock it's probably around 300g. 200g is the weight of a very small Fox, 6.5''x1.5'' or something like that and this one is much bigger.

Ok, 3.3kg sounds much better...
It is the same league as an Helius AM oder an Cheetah Mountain Spirit Enduro for example. But it also is 300g more than a Specialized Enduro. This one indeed is a tank...
I feel the bike very helpfull at geometries level, and the bike itīs a really LARGE in fact, running a 40mm stem regarding my heigh probable gives you a minimum idea about the size.. itīs perfect.
