Hardtail freeride madness – Banan’s custom Dartmoor Hornet


💥 To listen in English, please enable English dubbing in the video settings 💥

 

In this episode, Jan KiliÅ„ski hits the trails with Marcin 'Banan' Matuszny – a true hardtail legend who has taken his Dartmoor Hornet Pro around the globe: across continents, dozens of countries, and countless trails. 


While many riders believe a full-suspension bike is the only choice for hard terrain, Banan proves them wrong. On his stiff Hornet Pro, he:

  • sends the biggest jumps,

  • charges the toughest downhill sections,

  • runs events and continues to explore new spots.   


In the video, we take a closer look at his bike, talk about travels, riding philosophy, and why he deliberately chose a hardtail from Dartmoor.

👉 Check out what true freedom on two wheels looks like – and why a hardtail still makes sense in a world dominated by full-suspension rigs.
