Unfortunately, October is a dream for the Wraith, hopefully it will be available around mid February, but it may be closer to the summer.
With the description of your riding style, I would look at an 06 Chap, that would be the better choice of what is available right now. The 06 is lighter than the 05, it has 6" or 7" positions, and a more freeride geometry than the 05.
Thnx that's the info I needed…
Now to find an end of season deal…
I tried my two main shops, no dice on the search motivation. They kept saying it was easier to get a Cove. Not what I want. No real reason. I just want to try Banshee… Anyway… Thanks for your advice. I'll take it.
