-1 swing arm......

[fred-o]

i need a swing arm my busted . i have a -1 .. is that going to be good for hill-climbing ? cause thats mostly what i do. it going to be good for trails right? more traction or less? more less acceleration right

Its going to be more traction so for hill climbing I'd say no. The bike will be shorter making it easier to tip and roll.

with the banshees power you will have a hell of a time keeping the front end down with shorter swingers. i would go with stock or +1 for hill climbing and stock for trails. +1 wont make much difference from stock on trails

-1 and -2's are awesome for trails and the occasional hill climbing. But if all you do is hill climb, thats probably not the best choice. Minus swingers are great all around if you know how to ride.

Im looking to get a -1. My front end is already +1 so i figured -1 in the back would be more traction and stock wheelbase

I love riding a -1. Its not the best choice for hillclimbing though!

Shorter swing arms for the Shee are really meant to be used with aftermarket A arms that put the front wheels 2 or 3 inches forward. The idea behind this setup is to get the Banshees geometry more like the geometry of a TRX250R and make it turn better. I run this setup and it does make a big difference. It's not a 250R but it's about as good as it gets for a Shee. If you just put a shorter arm on and take off for the hills you’re in for a coronary.
