Hannibal's the one to ask. He had/has one and also has a Banshee X I think. As for the price, depends on the age and condition.

Wouldn't recommend for specific downhill use.geat budget alrounder and my banshee x did do triscombe ok but would have been happier on something with more rake and bigger shocks.

I ride a banshee too (bought hannibals old one)

It's perfect for me so far as I wanted a bit of an all rounder.

I suppose it depends on what you want to do with it, I use it for a bit of Xc and a bit of Danbury . It does the job.
