They are a 100% mx set up awesome set up. But if you not getting the kit complete each individual piece cost a lot and you can only gwt parts from laeger n they are very costly and hard to find used. And for that price tag you could just go buy ur self long travel axis roll design front end.

The only real difference in a pro-trax front end, and a standard long travel front end, is the spindles and clevis' on the arms. Rather than running heims on the arms, they run the heims on the spindles turned 90 degrees so there is no lateral movement, and can extend itself longitudinally until the shock is fully extended.

 

They claim you can get 16" of travel out of their front end, but that is not likely on a banshee, as the a-arm pivot points on a banshee is so wide, you are limited on shock length. Take for example, a YFZ450R front end: Almost completely center mounted a-arms. I've seen long travel setups for these bikes run 20-22" shocks. You would have to have +6 or better a-arms on a banshee to run shocks that long. Long shocks doesn't ALWAYS equal longer travel. It's all where the lower mount is. You could run 11" shocks and have the lower mount as close to the a-arm pivot as possible, and pull 12-14" of travel. The bike would ride like complete and utter shit but it's possible.

 

It's pretty old technology that the race industry gave up years ago. ATV suspension is pretty far behind in terms of technology. I see stuff all the time being introduced as "the first of it's kind" in the ATV world, but has been used for EVER on sand cars, and race vehicles.

 

So yes, it's a great front end. Do I think the average person would benefit much from it? Probably not. If you're not skying the bike over 110ft gaps at 30ft in the air, get some nice longtravel arms, and some good shocks, use your stock spindles, and save some money in the process.

the ppro trax kept the same geo through the travel thats what is was designed for. its a great suspension with ZPS and stadium style stuff. BUT i wouldnt waste the $$$ on it unless you are big time pro. and if thats the case yoru not racing a banshee, and your not buying parts.. i would just look at std long travel that fits the banshee chassis, and a really good and corectly set up shock. anyhing else and i'd be looking at frames or major modifications to the stock chassis.

 

whats a "current" advanced front end geo setup look like?
