The Amp is a long awaited dirt jump specific bike from Banshee. Previous models such as the Morphine and the Scirocco have been great bikes, but have not been specific to jumping, rather they have been one bike to cover a number of riding disciplines.
The Amp is a pure dirt jump / street bike with no compromises in geometry or weight. At an approximate frame weight of only 4.6lbs, combined with 400mm chain stays and low BB and stand over creates a very tight and nimble bike that will be easy to rotate and throw around, whilst also being strong and stiff enough to take the every day beatings that dirt jump bikes expect.
The adjustable horizontal dropouts are perfect for those who want to ride single speed, and fine tune their wheelbase. The frame will also come with a hanger that allows you to adjust the wheelbase whilst running a rear derailleur.
The Amp prototypes will be using integrated headsets to reduce build weight, and lower the front end to make for a very aggressive riding position. The Amp has an ISCG 05 chain guide mount, and uses the same custom hydroformed top and down tubes as the rampant 4x frame.
