Can you tell me what the May issues of Dirtwheels and ATV Action had on the Cannondale? They both had stuff on it. And also the June issue of Dirtwheels had more on it too... Can you please give me this info? Thanks

 

I have subscriptions to both, what info do you want? The specs or what?

 

Any info I can get

 

Here are the specs on the Cannondale FX400 from the June issue of Dirtwheels.

in the july 2000 isue they have canadale's test rider's test riding it. they say it only comes in red and black but this one is blue and kind of weird looking because it does not have the front nose peice on it you might wan't to get this isue because it has some pretty cool stuf in this one

 

there was no real reason for it to blue but the reason it looked funny was it was just a test quad not a finished production model
