There really isn’t a lot of draw backs to a set up like that if your free riding regularly. I think it would be a lot of fun to try out in a variety of situations. The bolt on kits are ready for YFZ450R’s and TRX450R’s. If you want to really learn about everything I would reach out to XTravel directly 👍

From my understanding Sundahl definitely created the concept a long time ago with banshee’s like you said. This machine was built a few years ago and it seems to carry on the concept. Unfortunately custom frames are more expensive and tedious to set up compared to a bolt on kit. That’s why XTravel has taken the idea and implemented it into bolt on kits. They call it BVS and XLinkX technology. Riding a Sundahl Banshee would be ridiculous 🤪😅

@PeteHager3 жыл бұрын
Gear preference is up to the rider and the machine. The Raptor can be lugged around because it has so much torque. I enjoy 3rd gear trails. Those speeds are more forgiving and playful. If speeds are high then normally the trail isn’t very technical. It’s getting harder and harder to find actual ATV trail with all the SxS’s these days..
