As the title, are they as similar as they look on paper etc?

Never had bandit!
But I think the st4 is well under rated (probably because of the 5)
The only issue is for a 110mm rear travel bike the frame is not light, me personally if orange had made this frame around the 5.5-6lbs mark I think they would be still making them?
They ride lovely at 140mm up front,feel a lot more than 110mm rear

Hi
As above not ridden a Bandit but demoed the ST4 at Dalby.
Absolutely loved it and it just made you want to ride fast all of the time.
It was between a Turner Flux and this for me and my heart made me get the Flux as the price was similar.
They were selling them recently for £699 and that is a steal if you can find one. I nearly bought one just to build up over time.
As said above not the lightest but really nice
Cheers steve

Thanks Steve, I've got the ST4 and was wondering if it was any different to the Bandit.
