The legendary beast that travels the land at incredible speed, devouring everything in its path. If you didn't pay attention in school, have no fear. It doesn't really matter.

What you really need to know is the Bandersnatch is a gear-specific, 29er, with all the fixins at a price the wife will never even notice.

The Bandersnatch has made it through the "Apollo Creed treadmill routine" and is now stronger and fitter than ever before. Every inch has been further refined and optimized to provide an even more laterally stiff frame, while retaining the signature Vassago compliance over the rough stuff.

The latest improvements to the Bandersnatch include the forward-set seat tub allowing more mud clearance for various derailleurs and big fat tires. Thanks to the "SupaFly" cast dropouts and refined internal butting, the Bandersnatch boasts an even stiffer rear end and bottom bracket while retaining it's svelte 5lb figure.

What size is right for you?
Nothing compares to test riding a bike, and we strongly urge you to do that. The Vassago feel is our best feature! But if you can't throw a leg over first, here are some sizing recommendations.

16" Frame - 5'4" to 5'9"
18" Frame - 5'10" to 6'1"
20" Frame - 6'2" to 6'4"

Hater Disclaimer
Any one frame dimension doesn't denote a specific handling characteristic. Vassago frames use unorthodox (by 26" standards) designs to achieve a balanced 29er like no other. In short, Don't knock it till you ride it.
