I like the 'no bumper' look :thumbsup: ... on a banshee. Makes it look cleaner, like the quad was made to go fast and NOT made for GNCC racing. Those big front bumpers aren't needed for most of us Banshee riders. A lot of dudes don't want their banshee to look like every 4-stroke out there with a big racing bumper bolted on the front. But I'd still bolt a bumper on :smile: .

 

I can only think of two uses for front bumpers.

1. protection from hitting stuff.

2. grab handle for lifting the front end.

 

 

1. Most banshee riders are not MX or XC racing. If they are, then bumpers are required to race, they gotta run em. But hell most the Banshee riders are not racing single file woods hare scrambles. The only thing we're bumping with our bumpers is random stuff like trees :ohmy:

2. Front bumpers are great place to lift when you have to move the front end of your quad. Sooner or later you'll be out riding and you'll have to spin the quad around on a trail or lift the front end up to get it out of mud or lift into your truck. But hell, that rarely happens. I can usually turn around on the trails without getting off the quad. I do use my bumper to move the quad in my garage and load my trailer.

 

 

Aluminum bumpers weight a few pounds. I guess if your shaving weight and not worried about the other two bumper uses, then remove the fucker and go for that look.

 

I don't think the "no-bumper" look looks bad or stupid. Raptor plastics on a Banshee look stupid, no front bumper is kinda fresh. If it really looked bad you'd hear more people talking about it.

 

I'm using a small QuadBoss front bumper on my camo 250r. The handle on my QB front bumper sucks and I don't like it. I'm always using my front bumper to move the quad around in the garage and it sucks that the bumper has no good hand holds. What do you guys with no bumpers do ? Grab the frame rails I suppose. Next bumper I bolt on will be one designed to easily grab the front end to move the quad easier. I like the bullhorn bumper that Ballance runs, its a Pro-Armor I think. Big ol' grab handles on the bullhorn bumpers :thumbsup: . I'v ran a Duncan on my Banshee and that was nice too, because it was small and not big and gawdy, and the thin tubing along with its design made it real easy to grab hold of the bumper. The Duncans' are made of steel tubing. I have a PRM Baja on my red 250r and its big and fugly and works great.

sweet quads you got there.

On my yfz I got that same prm bumper you have on your 250r, works great for GNCC, it has come in handy for protection, from trees, rocks and other quads and getting myself unstuck. but it is big , I kinda like that though.On my banshee I got the chrome alba dune bar bumper , the one that has flames on the side too, don't know if you know what one i'm talking about, but it's cool, I do like the du can buimper on the shees too

with or with out the bumper they are still heavy,non turning,out dated,freakin ugly pos's........or am i wrong :ermm: ......nah don't think so :banana:

dude, this thread is obviously a joke, which is cool, even though some are being too serious. if your only post is thumper bullshit, shut the fuck up befor my mom kicks your dads' ass :starwars:

 

banshees' aren't outdated, just banned from production, and if they ever made something better, then it would change. if i ever see you on the trails, i'm going to run my ugly ass bumper up your ass and bend your frame in half.

 

btw, if i rode dunes, i wouldn't run a bumper either :whoops:

You're stupid!

 

Next time I see your long haired ass down here in a South Jersey sand pit... I'm going to bump your stupid ass into the biggest tree I can find on the side of the trail.

 

And Ya... anyone stupid enough to ride with you is going to need a bumper!..... So they can push your SLOW ASS off the trail!

 

Your, a stupid ass shit starter!

This is a old member that used to be just as, if not more retarded than he is in this thread.. Likes to stir the shit for no reason and many of you were playing into his game..

Word of advice, take 90% of what he says as a joke and you will be fine..

Look up the screen name Helldriver, thats his old name, you will see he has a bit of a history of this....
