Banshee Nano

THANKS JAY!!! We received our prototype nanotech carbon fiber Banshee Nano yesterday and everyone here is just going gaga over it!

This baby is so light it feels even lighter than my Viento in my hands. Our medium frame with fox RP23 weighs just 3.86lbs (minus seatpost)!

We have started building the Nano with some weight weenie KCNC components and a carbon fiber DT Swiss EXC 150 fork up front.. just in time for our upcoming XC race this month.

I'll post up more pictures of the bike when it's built on FakawiTribe.com soon!

Woooot!!

Ausanee wins Silver in XXVth SEA Games!

Congratulations to Team Fakawi Banshee rider Ausanee for bagging the silver medal for Thailand in the women's DH event at the 25th South East Asian Games, currently ongoing at Vientiane, Laos.

Her 6 months of tough training at her national bike camp finally paid off.

The games race track was pretty flat and pedally with some BMX-style tabletop jumps and plenty of corners and techy sections.
Ausanee initially wanted to race on her Wildcard but opted for her Legend Mk1 to gobble up some of the gnarly sections of the track.

check out her race result HERE.
