Hey all. I know this kind of thread can be fround upon, but I would really like a little knowledgable input from the community. I am looking at a new dh frame and as you may have guessed from the title, am torn between the Demo 8 and the Banshee Legend.
I am currently on an Cove Shocker (with the custom, lowering dropouts). The bike is great, but I feel that it is time for a change. This is where my dilema lays. I am drawn to these two bikes as they both rail corners and i am sure take what-ever you throw at them. I think the Banshee may be a little too similar to my current ride as far as trail manners. I would like something that is a little more playful and flickable, and am thinking that the shorter rear end on the Demo would lend themselves to that?
So has anyone ridden both? Am i thinking right, or do yiu havr some input that indicates otherwise. Lets hear it. I know they both rip, but is the Legend going to be less playful and to similar to the current ride?
