For the trail you can't beat the Raptor, it was made for trails and woods.

if you get the banshee you will wear your hands out after 10 minutes of riding from using the clutch so much.. Get the Raptor

I would go with the Raptor as I did also because you will be able to trail ride alot longer because the 4 stroke does't use as much gas. and the torq. is much better at low rrrr's for the tight trails Just my $.02 RY
And 2 stroke are a thing of the best and will soon be X-tink...

it will be hard for them to ban the 2-strokes. Maybe in time, but not for some time. Besides, they have to catch the 2-stroke before they can ticket them...lol good luck!

yup a shee is more of a open dune quad but hey it can work for trails all the more fun with the more work...and nothing can catch a moded shee
but ya probably a raptor would be more suited for your needs you might even want to wait for the new 450 might be more trail suited

the electric start, the reverse, and the lower revs are the main reasons to go with the raptor. it starts better in cold weather, and jets arent as much as of a problem when the weather changes. not to mention that you still have a heck of a lot of power with the raptor, its not like everyone will leave you behind.
