Good aggressive trail bike

[skimpy101]

I'm getting a stock banshee what kind of mods should I get for a aggressive trail riding. I was thinking of tuning a 4 mil. Any sort of advice or help I would really appreciate it thanks

Depends on what your definition of trails. Are we talking gravel pits, tight twisty stuff in woods, open fields, or a mix of all that?

 

Race gas 4mil w/ porting, trans, clutch, SLP or DMC pipes, etc.

 

Axle, A arms, shocks, rebuilt rear shock, stabilizer, tires(possibly wheels)

I say start with the suspension. Get some front shocks, a-arms, rebuilt rear and axle.

 

Then worry about the engine.

 

There is no point in having a lot of HP when you can only use 50% of it because you are bouncing around.

This.

an mx bike with about 55ft lbs of tq is a great agressive trail bike.  a stock cyl 4 mill built for tq or a serval with minimal porting with slp's should get you a happy motor.   and ofcourtse  everything that goes along with that kind of build.

 

if you bought a stocker you are probably better off finding something thats already close to what you want.   OR budget about 3500-7500 for the build up

I'd leave the motor stock, do bolt-ons, suspension upgrades and run it all day long with no worry.

 

I agree 100% with both of these comments

Suspension upgrade first is exactly what I did and my Banshee is trail ridden. I'm very pleased I did that to start with and my motor is stock other than pipes/ filtration set up. Makes for a fun ride! Make sure that you get the suspension set up for your weight and type of riding.
