The Bandito has had a whole new frame for 2011, it's still using the street/park/dirt geometry frame, but has had the introduction of the new "origami" chainstay yoke that slams the chainstay length, the stand-over has been dropped and the tubs are now double butted 4130 chromoly to make the frame lighter. The same ethos of the Banditos of old stands, a bike that is out of the box thrashable but can be upgraded easily.
