Banshee Rune 27. 5 Jenson X1 2016 BikeA True Explorers BikeFounded on Banshee’s all-new KS Link suspension platform, the Rune features an insanely supple design as it completely eliminates pivot resistance and nearly all DU bushing rotation. To achieve this, Banshee’s KS Link provides the rider better traction through its ability to react faster to sudden changes in the terrain, resulting in superior small bump compliance for an overall smoother ride. The short one-piece forged linkages boosts the Rune’s overall stiffness and responsiveness by lowering the center of gravity, while its fully sealed, oversized bearings and low pivot loads keep maintenance virtually non-existent. A 44/56mm tapered headtube cleverly permits the use of a zero stack headset cup to reduce the stack height if needed. Chain and seat stays are internally ribbed for increased stiffness and 7005 T6 aluminum is used throughout with custom hydroformed tubes and forgings. This Jenson USA Custom Collection pairs the Rune with SRAM’s X1 11-speed drivetrain. Jenson rounds out the Rune X1 with RaceFace components. 5 wheels wrapped with Schwalbe Hans Dampf rubber. 5×2. 5 430 / 16. 9 470 / 18.
