bansheeryder_69 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I just recently put a bunch of money into the motor in my banshee and now I wanted to get the suspension part down. I ride sand and if I can get the right setup will definitely be racing mx this summer/fall and I need to know what to get for the best setup. I was thinking some cheaper front elkas, +2 up1 a-arms and a -2 swingarm with top of the line rear elka shock what do you guys think or is there a cheaper alternative?

Also get a wider axle and a good set of tires. I recomend the Holeshot MXR4 rears in 19 inch and MXR fronts in 20 inch size. Mine has this set up except i have fast treker rears which are also great, and the thing handles like its on rails and jumps nice and smooth. I wouldnt blow money on elkas unless i was planning on hitting huge jumps or if i had money to blow on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember MX is the most abuse you will ever put taht bike through. The more money you spend, the better it will ride. Fast guys will still be fast on a stock quad, but they do not get beat up as much, and that is what tires out us mortals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
