FWIW. I believe that the Carrera Banshee is considered to be a "big box store" bike ...
It is what it is ...
And so, there is NO model year, per se.
It is post-2002.
BTW. If-or-when you buy new grips, put a Nickel on the ends of your handlebars before slipping the new grips on ... that will prevent the ends from blowing-out AND eliminate the possibility of impaling someone on the end of the handlebar.
