Banshee Scythe Frame: The scythe captures the spirit of toughness. It was made to be the tool of the trade for the no nonsense rider whose concerned more about stomping that tech section of trail then about what his "girlfriends" at the coffee shop, talkin tech-wheenie speak, think. Be it scorching heat, rain, snow, hail or ice cold nothing stops scythe riders from getting to the trails. Everything, on this bike is engineered to let you ride it hard, withstand the elements, all with minimal maintenance... you don't need treat this bike with any respect, but you can always count on it to get you home.
