Noob suspension question

find one with a builder backing their product and with a good metal. I have the burgard +2+1's on my banshee and love them... As for what kind to pick from its mostly just find a great deal... And as for shocks they can make or break you. The elka dunes are the best thing on my raptor and the eat everything. I have a group i ride with at glamis and three of them have gotten the elka dunes because they are great. but really any after market shocks are better then stock. just make sure you get some with Compression Adj, Rebound Adj and Preload Adj for the min. I put the yfz shocks on my banshee because i got them new for $150. and im just going to send them to my shock rebuilder guy and have them revalve it for my riding. Other then that. just stay with any old +2+1 arms and you should be good. and when you get he arms look over the welds and if they look like ass send them back and get new ones. There are guys that like the race there bikes in a line and other that like the carve and throw them over hills and jumps. Everyone that has or riden a stock suspension banshee knows that you cant ride very long. So mostly just use the search button because there are alot of reviews out there.

I would stick with a +2+1 arm. Banshees dont like long travel arms due to bump steer. I went with Janssen +2+1 MX tech arms with Elka shocks. Just make sure that who ever you go through uses chromoly not steel. Also look at their warrenties. Janssen gives you a life time warrenty against bendage and breakage. Another thing if your going to get arms make sure they are fully adjustable. You want to be able to set the camber and castor.

I ride trails too and race some so I saved up for the best and now I have my dream Banshee setup. I went with full chromoly (very important for any style a arm) and caster/camber adjustments Lonestar racing a arms then I saved saved and saved some more for front standerd travle Elka Elites High/LOW compresion and rebound I also got the rear Elka Elite Long Travel on Elkas LT Linkage and thats the best setup you can buy for your Banshee. The shocks and a arms are unbelievable as far as sucking up big ruts and big roots plus you can set it up for whatever style you want one setting for woods then you can use the suspensions adjustability to go for long jumps rough shit agressive to medium trail riding/competitive woods racing they are the best if you have the money. More money you have = the better setup you can get.
