Yamaha is number one what are you thinking. The raptor won against the ds in the new dirt wheels mag both modified.

How would a DS and Banshee run be with corners added in the race.

For instance: Start, run 300 yards straight, sharp right turn, run 100 straight, hard left, run another 100 straight, hard left, run downhill slope about 50 yards then a 300-400 yards straight to finish.
This is all on gravel by the way.

How would that outcome be?

Or run the whole same section except for the finishing last 300 yards at the end of the 50 yard downhill slope make a hard left into sand and 30 yards of medium whoops to the finish.

How would this run be, im great at cornering and I absolutley love to ride whoops very fast, would I lose?

The DS 650 and Raptor are both great quads, after you get use to the extra size of the DS you can whip it with any other quad and the suspension is very plush.The first thing the magazines do to the other sport quads is to make them wider and longer wheel travel like the DS comes with from the factory.Yes the Bombardier is built to with stand most anything you can throw at it,just ask the winning Baja 2000 riders and the African off road race called the tuffest race in the world.The legend grows

performax, if you read your dirt wheels alittle closer they tell you that the raptor is more modified.with that in mind they said it was still close

Yes dirt wheels liked the Raptor in that test better, but it also had $2800 more in add on's. Put another 2800 in ths DS, then see who wins
