I know that the Banshee is super fast I heard over 70 MPH? But my Question is how are they only being a 2 stroke in the mud and snow? I know 4 strokes are more powerful but can the banshee go through tons of mud or snow?

I don't know about going through the mud, but it sure does a good job of getting stuck and digging itself in while making a hell off a mud rain storm for the rider and anyone else that's riding near[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Sport Quads aren't really built for mud. But they are a blast in the snow.

Mine does good in the mud even with stock tires but nothing like a good 2wd such as a Bayou.

If I run with the airbox lid on....it does OK in the rain/mud and snow....

But the filter gets wet with the cover off....making for an ill running engine.

As far as actually making it through the mud, etc......well...it depends... I used to aim for the big mud holes...but I tend to find a way around now...I'm sick of trying to pick up a suctioned down banshee in the mud.
