(Regular $1500) You like to race on occasion, you like to explorer, but mostly you feel one should pay to play, its the burn in the legs and the sweat that pours down your face that says you are deserving - something the gravity rider will never understand. The Pyre will get you to the top with energy to spare and let you own the gravity set on the way down as you pass the shocked bunch of riders on their 8+ inch bikes... sounds to good to believe but the Pyre is up to the task. Comes with a Fox RP23 rear shock.

The new school rider has the ultimate tool to show-off pulling the biggest and badest tricks. Super low standover means the rider can throw a leg over to style out the flashiest can-can or tailwhip, and with the lightest weight frame in its class, rotational tricks are effortless as you’re not fighting with the mass of the bike. You’ll be the envy of your friends as you start throwing it down large. (MSRP $1600 as speced with manitou metal rear shock)

The amp is tight, light and ready to take flight! With 400-425mm chainstay with horizontal dropouts welded to light but stiff internally ribbed chain and seat stays that back end of the frame is slammed, which makes manualing a breeze, and rotations in the air a walk in the park. The Amp uses a 7005 T6 custom hydro-formed triple butted tube set with integrated gusseting for high strength with minimal weight. At the front you will find a precision machined head tube, compatible with lightweight zero stack integrated headsets to keep the weight down and the front of the bike low. What does all this mean? It means that the frame feels perfectly at home high in the air at your local jump spot, and can accelerate out of the gate faster than any other if you feel like racing some 4X. It means that you can ride a bike that can take the abuse that you throw at it, but only weighs 2kg (4.4lbs). All in all this bike will be more nimble, faster, stronger, lighter and easier to do tricks on due to super low standover than any other bike out there.

Every aspect of the Legend frame is designed around one thing, to go faster! After 4 years of development, and designed to compete at world cup level racing, the Legend is a no compromise DH race winning machine. With low BB, roomy top tube and slack head angle the rider will feel at home pinning it over off camber roots and picking fast lines through even the burliest rock gardens. The frame itself has one of the lowest centre of gravities in its class due to the positioning of the rear shock as low in the frame as possible. With adjustable travel between 7" and 8.5" with self adjusting geometry this bike can be set up perfectly for any race course. Includes a Fox RC 4 Coil shock.

Dalen at Banshee talks about the paradox (from their blog): So wow... pretty stoked on all the interest on the Paradox. Seems people are digging the direction we are taking. We have had a little wager put on whether or not we'll have a few 29r companies taking notice and changing their hardtails to incorporate what we've done to get the shorter chainstays. The other way was like the Sinister Simon bar with the S shape... but we have gone with a slight bend as it looks less drastic but still gives us the classic look of a hardtail while getting that tire as close in as possible. We also have made sure our ISCG is rotated in the proper plane to account for the BB drop. This will insure good alignment on all chainguides and the Hammerschmidt. We have 4 cable guides along the top tube. Joplin seatpost, Front derailleur, Rear derailleur, Rear brake. Also one guide along the downtube for the Hammerschmidt. Thats alot of cable guides!!! Check out that sexy sweep in the seatstays. Only thing left to do is add one more cable guide on the non driveside seatstay, get it into the oven for T6, then the alignment table, drilling of the BB shell, then.... anyway theres still lots to do. Even a hardtail requires alot of work. Anyway I am super stoked on this bike... yes its just a hardtail but I can't help but be super pleased with how its going together.
