I am currently running the power reeds. I didnt notice a HP gain but I did notice better throttle response.

I have a set of Boyeseen dual stage reeds - couldn't tell a difference between them and stock and I even switched back and forth a few times.

I never tried the pro reeds - I believe they are carbon fiber which tends to chip and/or crack easier than fiberglass. I used to think the reeds helped with throttle response when I first got my Banshee but I later figured out that it was all in my jetting. Now that it is jetted right it is very snappy off the bottom. The high compression domes helped the most and the +4 timing helped too.


I guess if I HAD to change the reeds I would go with the V-force but for $200 I don't think they are worth it either.
