race-a-holic Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Well it depends.The shorter the swingarm the more traction you will get.Alot depends on how good you are with the clutch.You might have to put a wheelie bar on it to keep from getting body slammed. Some guys are very good at easing out on the clutch and can keep the frontend down.Those that weren't "masters of the clutch" needed a longer swingarm like I did. Banshees will wheelie when they are stock.The more mods you do to a banshee,the faster things happen.I liked the longer swingarm to help control wheelies.You can make up for the longer swingarm with better tires most of the time. You probably need a variety of tires for different track conditions anyways. You're not going to win many races with the frontend pointing toward the sky all the time. Keep in mind also.On a flat track,a wheelie bar is great.If you ever take it out duning,trail riding,etc...your probably not going to be able to use your wheelie bar.Alot depends on what all you're going to be using it for.
