I know none of you know but i am just assuming that the shocks on the raptor are going to be the same crappy ones on the banshee, if so this would be very disapointing to a potential buyer, although if you have the money to buy a raptor, you have the money to buy works shocks. this is just my observations. Thanks

 

thats what i was wondering, they have the same travel it looks like, i hope they are new

 

I also was wondering the same thing.

 

They appear to be the same,at least the fronts, but only time will tell. Also, the suspension travel specs are identical which I find curious.
One thing you posted bothered me. What makes you think a guy who saves and works his but off to buy a new machine can then afford to go out and spend thousands of dollars to make it handle the way the factory should have.
That is why I urge caution before handing over hard earned cash for any product. Do not trust the manufacturer, he wants you to buy it no matter how good or bad it is.
