No! The shee is at its best out in open country. The powerband is pipey, and the frame is long and a bit slugish. The suspension just plain sucks! Years ago, it might have been worth trying to trail ride one, but today, it makes no sense at all seeing there are so many great, newer trail bikes out there.

I like the Z400 for a trail ride.

I agree stay away from the shee for trail riding. much better machines out there.

I think the two best trail machines are the
Z400 and Raptor both have reverse
