With its dominating 347cc liquid-cooled engine and twin 26mm Mikuni carburetors, the Banshee remains the world?s only production twin-cylinder, two-stroke high performance ATV. Other features include a manual clutch, close ratio six speed transmission, 31.5-inch high seat, aggressive knobby tires and powerful 30-watt halogen headlamps.

Challenging terrain is handled by the Banshee?s double wishbone front suspension and single shock/swingarm rear suspension, that produces nine inches of travel up front and 8.7 inches in the rear. Braking is optimized by a powerful hydraulic system, featuring dual front discs and a massive single disc in the rear. The Banshee weighs 386-pounds and features lightweight aluminum wheels and a 3.2 gallon fuel tank.
