  1. Is that a new Spitfire then? Like the look of the replaceable dropouts. Be interested to know if they’ve sorted the bearing issues.

  2. No it’s a whole new bike, a Banshee (Mythic) Prime 29er. This one runs on bearings and ti axles which is what the next generation of Spitfires will have in a couple of years. As for “the bearing issues” well they never had one! With the Spitfire it was a problem with bushings or to be more specific the axles they run on. Apparently very difficult to machine to the exact tolerence. If the Prime is anything to go by, the next Spitfire on bearings instead of bushings will be stunning to ride.
