I rode a banshee for five years on trails and sand. I'm thinking my King Quad Suzuki is a better trail machine than the banshee was. Also, if you were to pick between sand and woods, which I think the OP was asking, which would you pick? Banshees are superior sand quads hands down and that is what I would do DDQ. I'm not saying you can't trail a Shee, because I know it can be done.
