Comp Highlight: Rulezman LE03 Banshee Titan

Written By Paul Aston

INTRODUCTION:

Rulezman has done it again with this stunning dream build: RRT stands for Rulezman Race Treatment, and LE03 relates to his third Limited Edition complete bike. This is not simply a collection of expensive parts bolted together like the average Instagram dream machine; rather, it's a bike built with his 'best or nothing' approach, utilizing components he has rigorously tested himself over the years. This enduro racer is designed to climb easily, descend quickly, endure all-day beatings, and cross the finish line. Dave meticulously hand-polished the entire frame and handlebar to a mirror finish, then protected it from oxidation with a 2k clear coat.

BUILD:

The standout features of this bike include the Banshee Titan frame, enhanced with the ZeroBack plate for efficient anti-squat characteristics while eliminating pedal kickback. A fully customized Manitou Dorado RRT in the Kayaba colourway leads the charge, complemented by a Kitsuma rear shock. Both units will be tailored to the lucky winner's weight and riding style. Despite its XL frame size, the Titan remains versatile; riders as short as 173cm have found comfort on this setup, while Dave, at 179cm, and myself, at 185cm with a slightly longer 35mm stem loved my custom Titan from a few years ago..

An innovative feature is the custom Handlebar Clamp V1, optimized at 18mm length to match the SQlab 16º backsweep bar, positioning hands at the centre of the steerer tube axis. ProGrip 729 Dual compound grips, non-lock-on for enhanced comfort and vibration absorption—ideal for endurance rides or tackling multiple enduro stages. Adjacent to the grips are the revered Hope Tech4 V4 brakes, featuring Galfer green race pads and custom AstonMTB rotors measuring 203mm x 2.3mm, designed for durability and optimal heat dissipation.

Crafted in Italy by DRC, the Shred rims boast a 27.7mm internal width, paired with Kenda tyres featuring full DH casing and sealed with Stan's Race sealant, ensuring reliability on the trails.

The drivetrain is equally impressive: the unbreakable Cane Creek eeWings titanium cranks and BB, coupled with a Garbaruk 30t chainring. Garbaruk also provides the 11-speed cassette, derailleur cage, and jockey wheels for XT shifting.

We also made a 2hour Live Build of this bike on Youtube where we put the bike together and answer dozens of questions from followers about all aspects of this bike: watch here.
