Raptor for low end, trails and mud

Banshee for top end and dunes.

The end.

In my opinion you can make either one good for both. The banshee can be geared to ride in both trails and in the sand. And the raptor has the low end grunt and can also do good in the sand.

My piped play banshee pulled through the gears and I am guessing about 5 mph top end over a piped raptor last thurday night. This was on pavement. I also got the holeshot. My tires spun and he stood up. This slowed him some.

The raptor has incredible low end torque so I agree with bbertam also.

the raptor is about 10 years advanced in its technology, however the banshee was 7 years ahead of everyone in its hay day...both are good bikes...stay away from any 1st year bike...most important is to enjoy the bike you dump thousands into...I say as long as it pulls wheelies and flies through the air RACE IT.
