Banshee any good for trails?
Not the best quad whenever 'tight' can be used to describe your riding area. There are plenty of great thumpers out there that will do a lot better on tight trails. Having said that, you CAN set up a Banshee to excel at just about anything. It is all in how much $$ you want to throw at it.

Not that great. I really wanted one but i mostly trail ride so i got a raptor. I ride with a guy that has an 03 banshee and he complains a lot when we are in the trails but loves the wide open areas. Plus with no reverse you will be having a lot of trouble in the woods. Reverse was the determining factor for me

Banshee any good for trails?
I have an 06 Banshee and do 75% trail riding and have never had a problem keeping up or running faster than any 400ex raptor or any bike better built for trails. As far as reverse, I just dont get in a situation to use reverse. And if I do the bike is easy to move with the kick of a leg. Its not a big deal. Infact my Banshee is far more agile than my buddies 04 660 raptor with +4 A arms and + 2 axle. The reverse is so high geared it is almost useless to him in tight spots on trails. Other than slippin the clutch a lot in tight spots I would rate the Banshee a good trail bike.

I would suggest not purchasing a Banshee for trail riding. I had one for years (and loved it) but it's not the best trail quad out there.....I sold mine and bought a raptor 660 for trail riding. Was pleased with its abilities, so I bought the raptor 700 when it came out.
Just my opinion......
Banshee = Awesome for Dunes
Raptor = Awesome for Trails
YFZ = Awesome for MX

Sounds like a great atv, but I dont think its best for what where I ride, because i dont even have many straight aways, and I always use reverse on my 90, so it would be weird w/o it. Thanks.
You are going from a 90cc quad to a banshee??? Thats a bit of a jump isn't it. Well i am not saying you can't handle it, but man when i went from a 220 bayou to my z400, it was like riding my 220 with a missile attached to it.lol. I don't think right away i was ready for it, but i got used to it real quick. Why don't you look into a 400cc sport quad. They are fast good handeling, have reverse, low maintance, and are very fun to ride. Its hard to beat them really. But you make your choice. Peace.
