Wonder who their Vancouver or even North American distributor is now? Back in the day I think it was Orange in North Van. You could buy them some doughnuts and they'd let you upstairs to peruse through the latest collection. It was peace of mind for warranty having a distributor available like that too.

I think any dealer can do a 1 bike order. I chatted with them when they started dropping the new designs.

I recall Banshee announcing they were going Direct 2 Dealer a few years ago. 

I’m really liking:

Phantom

Norco Optic

Nicolai Saturn 14 ST 29 (130mm rear travel)

I spoke to Banshee in March of this year about a hardtail and they would only sell through a LBS. I did not have any Banshee dealers locally so they were okay to sell to any LBS that was willing to work with them. I decided against getting the frame so I never bothered.

^ Cool. So they’re still working under that setup.

I'm also phantom curious but sure would love to demo one.

^I checked their dealer list; one in Cumberland and another in Squamish if that helps?

Banshee is in process of rebuilding a quality network of dealers across Canada. If you don't have a local dealer, then they are happy to work with a local bike shop that you have a good relationship with for that sale with no strings attached for the shop.

On the topic of changes, when did they lose the Horst link suspension?  Im assuming its just for this model which employs 'flex stays'?

Only this model has the flex stays. The rest of the line up is 4-bar.

Gotta pay for that carbon . Wish they still did aluminum.Mind you with current pricing I bet it would be $3500ish.
