Jeff's Enduro MTB Dream Build: Banshee Titan w/ Intend Suspension & BERD Wheels
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.ย. 2024
- It's been quite some time since our fearless leader Jeff Cayley built up a longer travel bike, and this time around, the Banshee Titan rolling on Intend Suspension is his steed of choice. Equipped with a choice selection of components from brands like Berd, 5Dev, Wolf Tooth, Trail One & others, this bike has no detail left untouched. You might think that since it's a 155mm travel full suspension enduro mountain bike that perhaps Jeff would be less of a weight weenie... but you'd be wrong. For a detailed summary of the bike and its parts including some drool inducing photos, check out the link to the blog article below.

What's your favorite part of this sweet bike?
yes.
should ask which ones are the least favorite ! and that's the brakes. they're fine, but on such a custom bike, i'd much prefer the dominion T4 for example. either way would love to demo this crazy bike haha. looks awesome.
Them slender sexy curves at them frame
Love the frame! Last year I've build myself a Titan V3 for my 40th birthday and man, that thing is unbelievable! So much fun and confidence I've never felt on any other of many bikes I had. Simply amazing 😊
The frame. Those Titans feel amazing through the chop with factory shocks. Trophy truck of a frame. Imagine with that shock it feels even better.
5 Dev cranks are hella sexy!
Hey Jeff, I am from Germany and I am very excited that you use Intend suspension on your bike. Cornelius Kapfinger the engineer and owner of Intend is well known for building extremely good forks and shocks, as well as other parts. The suspension will not disappoint you. In my opinion one of the best on the market.
Yeah it has been amazing to test and ride. I am so impressed. Such cool stuff :)
I love my Intend edge but i must be honest and I miss the adjustable midstroke support like on my dorado with IRT system, an IRT system in the edge would be just perfect 100%. I don t like the solution with tokens it doesn t solve the problem on the root
I’d love to hear more about the suspension. Moto background and love to see inverted forks become a thing.
Agreed. Looks rad.
Interested for sure how it might compare to ohlins, ext, or manitou, the less common brands I always hear people raving about
“I have been obsessed with building custom kazoos since I was 13 years old…”
😂
Just got myself a Rune v3 and I love it!!
Nnoooiiiccee
That's a great looking bike! I love the "raw" look of the frame and suspension. Pls more videos about it!
Thanks! And yeah I think I'll do a proper video on each the fork and shock and maybe the frame as well at some point.
Nice to see Banshee getting love from the big TH-cam channels. The brand deserves more attention then they get. Been on a V3 Spitfire for going on 3 years, freakin’ love that thing! Punches way above its class. You’ve set a new bar on weight reduction on these frames. Hah!
Totally agree! And haha yeah I made this baby light 🍻
I have a Paradox V3. Best bike i have ever had.
I never thought I'd see a bike that's Blinged-out yet still has Subtlety and Elegance.
I'll take that as a compliment 🍻
Agreed.
I really like the KS2 suspension on my Phantom, Banshee makes some great frames for sure!
Haha that thumbnail! I love how Jeff says "we" when referring to the company, podcast or YT channel. 🤙🏼
Glad you like the thumbnail 😁. And although I founded WC solo it has been built by and run by way more than me over the last 10 years so I will always say "we" 🍻
That bike has me feeling some kinda way. 🔥
Samsesies.
Banshee is such a rad Brand. Their styling is so cool. I'm in love with their hardtail, the Enigma.
Definitely make a video on the Titan or Banshee in general.
-Proud Banshee Enigma owner
The freaking editing!!! Damn it, you made me lol several times and now strangers think I'm a mental patient.
Haha we are doing our best.
Stunning build. Do a crazy ebike build next for your e-bikers. Would love to hear more about a push 11 6 on an ebike.
next step: let Rulezman tune your Intend fork. will be even more next level! Sweet bike bro!!
Nice build. Jeff's monster calves killing the chain in the power slide at 2:44!!!💣💣💣
😅 check out later in the video at 8:00 to hear about that chain break.
savage bike. Been thinking of building up a Titan for the last year or so but was going going to use Storia suspension ...will checkout the Intend. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your new ride.
Running my V3 Prime with Era fork and Arma shock. You will not be disappointed with an EXT shod Titan!
Just the best thumbnail ever
Been rocking inverted forks since 2004, or as I call them, Forks. I'm from wet weather area and "normal" forks are not normal here.
Definitely one of my favorite bikes that Jeff has built... Maybe some Intend brakes next time to top it all off😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice bike Jeff!! im a fan of banshee too... loved my rune! cheers my friend! see ya!
Thanks for taking to the time to share your new build. Your ride looks amazing! I applaud your parts selection w/ 'non-mainstream' brands, it created a very unique look & supported smaller bike makers in the process. I especially appreciate your reasoning for using inverted fork as I am an independent mtb & gravel bikes customizer who utilizes exclusively inverted forks, the performance is superb. I've tried RockShox RS1, RaceWork RS7, X Fusion, Wren (to name a few), will definitely give Intend a go. May I open a discussion/nerd out session on inverted forks' performance + physics here?
Beautiful build, insane weight, insane, my V1 Phantom with 10spd XT is 32.5lbs 😂 Really surprised to see this Chi Chi of a build and absolutely no wireless stuff, really actually like that fact.
Yess please, make some videos about the frame, suspension atc. thanks a lot!!
Nice to see a Banshee 🇨🇦 I’m planning on building up a Paradox just deciding between black and raw. Your raw frame might push me over the edge!
Their raw brushed alloy look is so rad. Absolutely love it.
Jeff, i just got my first Banshee.. built an Enigma and put 10 mins on it.. i can already tell she's gonna RIP it up..
The Titan frame looks so good, I love the raw material and they've got some really unique shapes going on.
Bring on the suspension video!
I have been super happy with the Teraveil Kessel as a replacement for the DHF. They seem to last longer and have great traction in loose over hard pack where I ride.
Love the rig and the work that goes into all of your videos.
Thank you so much!! The Kessel is a great tire.
Just came here to say that’s the best video thumbnail I have seen in a long while. Props!
😂 Thanks.
Like your bike, interesting choice of components to mark the very custom. Have build 2m ago my own attempt with unno frame, intend suspension front and rear, berd spokes and nonplus component hubs, trickstuff brakes.
Your Unno sounds epic. Got any high res pics? If so please shoot them over on Instagram. @jeffcayley
Johntron clip was unexpected but thoroughly enjoyed!
@2:44 Looks like a chain was blown in that drift, looks awesome.
Would love to hear more (or full video like you alluded to) on the Banshee Titan and your overall ride impressions, from how it rides uphill, downhill technical etc. Also where you position the rear dropouts as I believe they are adjustable. Also how tall are you to reference with the 470mm reach. Thanks!
WOW that build is sic AF! Weighs as much as my Pivot 429 with way different travel numbers.
Thanks! And yeah it ended up pretty light for what it is.
Lol love the thumbnail
Beautiful bike , very exotic looking . Could you give a build list on parts
Please love the content great presentation well executed!
Hey thanks! And check the video description where there is a link to an article with every little detail on the bike, build kit etc.
That fork is how all MTB forks should be. Please make a video about it, tell us if it flexes or not. Thanks
On it!
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/xAsOjoNrGIU/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, definitely share how much trail rash the fork stanchions sustain… and don’t forget to share the replacement cost for said stanchions… call me poor, but probs not cheap 😅
@@8kwest those stanchions actually get much less dirt, mud or debris than a regular fork, because the tire is not throwing it at them all the time. That's one of the big benefits of being inverted. Stanchions will last much longer than a regular fork.
@8kwest 80 euros le changement d'un chandelier. L'avantage s'est qu'on peut les changer à l'unité
Nice to see you sticking with mechanical shifting. I recall you saying in a podcast you prefer the feel over electronic,,,,,
Exactly right! I have been riding the new Transmission stuff lately on a Ranger and it is damn nice but I still can't get away from the mechanical feel and the direct engagement from the cable to the derailleur.
I would absolutely love to see a review on the hover gamechanger shock!!!
Ultimate bike “FLEX”. Sweet rig
Love that frame, one day one day!!
Looks like your chain came off the bike a 2:46 mark!
Oh Sorry, I commented before I watched the whole Video! My Bad! Cool Bike!
Haha good eye. But yep it did which was explained later in the video.
Yes please do a comparo with the Intend and Fox 38.
Banshee build is always RAD❤
sanaol may new bike. loved your video men! keep up the good work.
Really cant wait for you guys to do more info on the Intend suspension. I have been looking at getting one of their forks for a long time, but there is virtually zero good info or videos on them. Like 3 videos on youtube, none of which are very good. Would love to see what you guys have to say about it, having ridden it for a few months now!
Sweet bike! Man, I wish I had that Jeff dealer discount...I would for sure go for those Berd wheels.
😅 Yeah childhood dreams have come true for me regarding how much bike stuff costs for me these days.
I wanna see it all Jeff, give us the reviews
amazing build. i would really want to see a more detailed review of the fork and shock
Will do poopy papa 😂
@@WorldwideCyclery i really need to change this account name i have it since elementary school😂
lovely build!
"Least, but not last." LOL.
😉
+1 - More videos about the Intend suspension, including settings and a comparison with Fox/RS. Maybe some Intend brakes to top it off??
I do really want to try those Intend brakes. Look unreal in the photos.
This bike is so sick🤙🏾 looks like a bike from the future 🚀
Epic thumbnail
Jeff BEAUTIFUL bike, enyoy!!!! cheers
Hey thanks! And I sure am enjoying it :)
To make things even more interesting you should try Ingrid drivetrain and Trickstuff brakes (Trickstuff is related to Intend):-)
@2:43 RIP chain [edit] Oh, Jeff acknowledges this later on, doh!
Looks epic!
Epic thumbnail!😂
good introduction to the new design/product but what is the story behind the thumbnail photo?
wow, awesome bikeeeee!!!
Please make a video on intends brakes
Sick build! Love Banshee bikes. How's the torsional rigidity on that inverted fork, and what's the stanchion diameter? I can see why an arch on the "uppers?" would be awkward, since it's inverted, but how does it feel? I guess if the lefty can be stiff, anything can, but it looks wild!
Beautiful bike bub. An intend suspension review would be mint if you have some time 🙏.
Going to the suspension review for sure :)
@@WorldwideCyclery 🥳🙌
Looks awesome,
I put a manitou dorados on my dh bike recently and being inverted they seem to weave through roots n rocks instead of being bounced off line.
I bet those forks with the berd wheels does a similar thing.
Im a big fan of trying different things so pretty excited to see whats coming with forks.
Also does intend make a fender for the fork cos that would be a deal breaker for me if they dont since wet n muddy is probably 80% of what i ride in.
Good stuff! Yeah this has been fun to test thus far. And Intend does make a fender for the thing but I didn't find it necessary for where I am riding the most often.
Sick build 🔥🔥
He is going up in travel from his normal builds. Jeff is moving up.
Sometimes I like it long. The travel of my bike.
@@WorldwideCyclery 😂
Especially the front fork bring it here to the USA!!!
Nice build 👍 only one thing “bothering” me - enduro bike with trail carcass tyres? Running the Kryptotal enduro soft and love them after switching from Assegai and DHR II. Sode knob support is just incredible. But tell me why not enduro soft tyres for your enduro build? Thanks
Oh I understand and it bothers me too. Just happened to be the available tires to test at the time. Will be swapping for a different compound shortly.
@@WorldwideCyclery 👍👍 I hear you. Had to wait months for a another set of the Kryptotal tyres to come in here in Euroland. Love to here your review on the xynotal tyre too.
Intend is really something. I am german so i even have local access to their products but i just cant bring myself to shell out 3k for a fork and a shock.
I've always wanted to try Intend suspension but getting parts and service in the US might be difficult. I hate needing to mail suspension components to get it serviced. Mailing to Germany would be a non-starter for me.
31 lbs wow! I want one!
Chain snapped at 2:42 !!
Sure did! That was explained later in the video at 8:00
@@WorldwideCyclery I realised that later 😂
Wow nice bike!
I'm trying to do something similarly strange with the Evil Insurgent. I want an enduro bike on 27.5's. Turns out, they don't make very many of them! Thought about the banshee pretty hard, but ultimately decided against it. building it one piece at a time is gonna take awhile but I'm sure it'll be trail ready by next spring. Wish me luck!
You will love it!!
@@WorldwideCyclery thanks guys! Can’t wait to see the comparison video for the forks!
More info on that suspension please, a shitload more, front and rear. Particularly interesting in feedback on torsional stiffness and what axle spec you went for. Both front and rear look massively tuneable at home being so simple and not needed a high pressure nitrogen charge.
Also interested in the Berd Hawk30 wheels. Onyx or Berd hubs? How many poe?
Definitely going to make a video on the suspension as it's such an interesting and amazing setup. And for the wheels, these have the BERD Talon hubs.
@@WorldwideCyclery 36 or 54 tooth ratchet?
Can we hear more about the cranks and also length of cranks - I hear it can make a huge difference to the ones that come as standard on a shop bought bike
says 165. shorter helps my knee and leg pain/fatigue
"Weird Science" quote: "Give me the keys... give me the keys!"
Tastefully done.🏅
A broken chain at 2:44 ! 😅
Check out the explanation later in the video at 8:00
What a dope bike that is so unorthodox. Will intend make a coil shock? or fork with coil? I am just curious because I personally love coils.
Thanks! And I have no idea what Intend will make next. I wish I did!
Not for now... Try our air shock and just maybe you won't miss a coil :)
@@intendbicyclecomponents5905 Thats some confidence right there haha
Wow I have to say it is a sexy bike! I was looking at the commencal but this bike looks awesome. Does the bike have a threaded BB?
Sure does. It nails every little detail there is. I'm honestly really shocked Banshee does not get more attention for how on top of it they are. They're just small and not savvy marketers. But the bikes are mint.
Stanchion diameter??
35mm!
@@mtbpodcast confirmed 👋
I'm curious, is an inverted fork like that more at risk to breaking or scratching?
The breaking part would depend on the build of it and proper or improper use of it. It certainly is not weaker as it's the design on every motorcycle of any kind. But as for scratching, with no stanchion guards like I have it setup could be riskier but so far so good.
Whilst I have scratched my stanchions on a normal fork twice…..both big crashes. I have scratched my lowers numerous times so that Would definitely put me off.
Lighter than my phantom 🫣
I'd like to try it. Does the rear tire have that much clearance? I can't tell if it's just the video angles, but it looks tight for mud clearance.
That's what I thought too...looks way to close...especially for a 2.4" width....
You really need this new silver SRAM drive train to finish it up
How can you ride a fork with stanchions near the front axle? Odds of scratching the stanchion must be way worse than a standard fork layout
150mm dropper? Can you get low enough? Seems like that would get me on the steeps
How tall are you? I'm 5'10" and Banshee recommend a Medium but I'm affraid to find it too short but I'm also afraid to find the large too large. haha
And do you feel the 452mm chainstay is exagerated? Pretty long compared to other frame on the market.
You mentioned 470mm reach is your go to, how tall are you?
5'8" but I also have a preference toward longer bikes with 32mm stems. Much of this does end up being personal preference to some extent. We talked about this more in detail on the Mtb Podcast episode 94 if you're interested.
Fwiw i’m 6’1” and i get along well with 475 give or take
I really like the idea of a motocross inspired inverted fork, however as I look my Lyrik's bottom legs and how many scratches it has from rocks & branches, how would this fork handle the long term use, wouldn't it be an issue? Great bike anyways!!!
hey there,
from our experience scratches don't happen more or less often than on a regular fork. Scratches tend to be on the part with the widest diameter. Anyways this is not scientific, just what we observe and learn from customers. We have very little cases with scratched lower legs and in the end if you really manage to damage yours, it's much easier and cheaper to replace in comparison to the whole upper unit on regular forks. We charge 75.- for a brand new stanchion and that includes the replacement work on our part.
Cheers :)
@@intendbicyclecomponents5905 Thanks for this! Cheers!
Do you think that the inverted Fork design is the biggest advantage or the fact it was set up by the factory for you? I honestly wonder how much having the perfect shim stack for your weight and a cartridge tuned for the way you ride can overcome. I feel like you could go down one size in fork stanchion diameter if you had the perfect internals installed of a widest common denominator setup.
When will Trail 1 come out with a dropper remote?
I do not know! It's not on the road map yet. Next up is alloy and composite pedals and then I think alloy rims. But we'll see 🍻
enduro Jeff coming soon??
Enduro Jeff has arrived 😁🍻
2:44 looks like you broke your chain.
Only fly in the ointment I can see (besides those exposed stanchions leading the way) 😳 only running a 150mm dropper!?
Are Wolf Tooth droppers a bit on the long side??
I own a 3.2 Phantom... basically the same bike with shorter limbs and I can fit a 180mm One-up in there 👌
I could be wrong, but this bike may have 2 achiles heels/ not able to run hella long droppers and no sram UDH so no Transmission
I actually prefer a 150mm dropper and do not like more travel. So that was my choice. The Wolf Tooth droppers have a super low stack height.
@@WorldwideCyclery ole short legs 😁
@@kingrat738 are you running an XL frame?
Banshee max dropper insertion: 212mm for M and 238mm for L
Oneup insertion length: 267mm for 180mm
@@bulbobu Yup 👍 running a One-up 180mm travel dropper on size large Banshee Phantom V3.2
