Im in the market for a Sport quad, and im not worried about the power of 1 of these things at all... what I am worried about is will it be the right quad for me?

I will only be doing Trail Riding, Firey Roads ^.^, and Drag Things trying to make people look bad.

I dont want somthing that isnt reliable.. but I also dont want somthing I cant find parts for.

Is this the wrong Quad for my Intentions? It will 95% never see a real track unless I get serious about it, and have to much going on to get serious about it just want somthing for fun..

I have a 4k Limit for a sport quad and s far this is the absolute best ive found 2nd best is a 400ex, for aorund the same.

Lemme get some opion's!

Thanks Alot.


On a Side Note, Is there any differences with either 1 of these quads other then the paint scheme? if so plz exaplin.

Cannondale has been out of business a couple of years now, so you might have a problem with getting parts/service??? As I recall, someone in Taiwan took over their parts inventory and production rights, so not sure what the situation is right now. Ask about these issues in the Cannondale forum!

There are a lot of great all-around machines out there. My favorites are the Z400 and 400EX.

 

Hmmph Well damn lol Dono if I should get 1 or not (cant afford both [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] )

 

Dinli bought all the Cannondale production and I think they are going to start producing the Cannondale brand again next year.

 

ATK bought all of Cannondales parts inventory, and was(is?) selling new models. They would probably be your first place to contact for parts. If you want fast and original, these are good quads. As far as reliable and being easy to get parts down the road??? There is a cannondale website/forum around somewhere, best to check over there.

 

i love my 400ex,great handling.

 

Your young and on a budget. Get a jap quad. The Dales need to have the motors gone through them to fix the potential problems.. Mine is 41 months old. I've never been stranded other then some titanim valves I had put in that just never worked in two rides.. Never an electrical or computer problem in 300+ hrs.. Unless you are willing to do the motor upgrades I'd stay way as an engine lock up will cost you big bucks to fix..
