We have our own dealer but they didn´t have Large in White. That was what i thougt aswell that it would be a 2010, but since theres no major changes and no kashima rp23 i opted to keep it. I did get a discount and it was nicely packed in the box. Nothing to complain about really. The bike feels so good on the trails. Climbs well and really comes to life downhill.

Don´t know really, i bought it from Freeborn in the UK and was told it would be White/Blue. I called back and they didn´t give me a good answer as to why it´s black. But since i´m so happy with it and blue RaceFace Altas bars and cranks were out of stock att CRC i opted to stick with the black links. According to a MTBR thread there might be red links to buy from Banshee, probably look in to that.

Looks like a rental....and not in the good way
