No quad ever built will have the jumping abilities of an MX bike. Weight and frame geometry is the reason why

 

Have you ever seen Huevos Grandes????You know that part when the Kangaroo Kid jumps that black Banshee in the desert over that canyon!!!! Now tell me a banshee isn't a very good jumper! The best jump I have had on my banshee was 12 feet high and about 50 feet long....Have the shocks set as soft as they will go and didn't even bottom it out...I weight about 150lbs. I have never rode anything else but I know my banshee can fly!

My Raptor cuts out and even stalls when landing from jumps. I don't think that makes a very good jumper. It also does the same when hanging big wheelies.

 

Honestly, I don't think there's a best jumper or whatever. It's just that once you get used to your machine, it is a good jumper, whatever it is (talking about any SPORTS QUAD). If you take some time tuning your suspension there shouldn't be any problem.

 

Guys, it's not about jumping. It's about LANDING!!!!

 

I think im just gonna go with another Suzuki lt250R. There the best flyers in the world no other quad can catch them on the trails its just all the work you have to put in to them. Damn Suzuki and Honda for not selling them anymore!

 

Once you get use to the banshee power it is quite easy to jump, you just have to remeber to burb the throttle at the top. With the 400 you pretty much put it on cruise control and go around the track. The 400 seems light in the air and feels very small compared to the banshee. But in the end I like my banshee better. Just my thoughts though.
