Hardtail freeride madness – Banan’s custom Hornet
In this episode, Jan Kiliński 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.
