Check this out!

Cannondale is really starting to impress me. Check out the new models.

Moto 440 - MX/TT racer.
Blaze 440 - XC racer.
Speed - based on the original.
Cannibal - entry level/low budget.

With fuel-injection, aluminum frame, reversed cylinder, aftermarket racing components(shocks, axles, nerfbars, wheels, tires) all coming stock on these machines. Maybe Cannondale will make the big OEM's change thier ways.....? Let's hope so.

 

Damn! You have to give those guys credit. They are doing things exactly right - innovations and improvements on every model they come out with. The big boys better watch out. They might not be there yet, but Cannondale seems intent on putting themselves at the top of the motorsports world.

AMAZING...

Took them 1 year to design the FX400, build the manufacturing plant and roll the 1st quad off the line....now they're adding 3 more to the ATV lineup (more models than their motocross line!) with specific purposes for each. AND on top of that, they're sponsoring quad races left and right. Also, I've read articles that bone-stock Cannon quads are getting podium-finishes in races LOADED with super-hopped up Hondas and Yamahas.

Can you say "overnight performance-quad-market domination"?

WAY TO GO CANNONDALE!
WAY TO GO USA..... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

if they weren't 8k a pop i would have one!

thats a nice down payment on a new car or a really nice used car..its more than i paid for my 95 beretta, and almost as much as my dad paid for a 95 grand cheeroke! its crazy

 

I hope that they changed their choice in plastic's
Because the Fx400 looks nasty.
If these ones look a little more attractive than the FX400
Then I will have to agree with "MIA416EX" and say

"Overnight performance quad-market domination" indeed.

 

On the Yamaha Forum, there's a post about the most progressive manufacturer. CANNONDALE has it all the way!!! They have done something in 3 months that NO other company has EVER done before!! Kudos to the Cannon Company!! They rule!!

 

How many cc's is the Cannibal?

 

I have only one thing to say about this. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for one of the big 4 to come out with a MOTO quad, looks like cannondale has their head outta their ***, maybe itll inspire the big 4. Lets hope so!!!!! This is a big turn around for our industry!

 

trailblazer the canniblehas the same engine as the fx 400. 423cc i think. anyways, i think cannondale is awesome now...but i agree they need to change the way the quad looks.

 

Dear Cannondale,

YOU ROCK!!!!! i hope you are reading this! you have made every quad owner proud (or jeolous lol) because of youre ability to put out amazing quads fast and also make thewm purpose built so that you dont have to do any costumizing to the machine whicth i thnk is great. even though there is an $8000 price tag, i believe most xc and motocross racers have twice that on theyre machine. i giev your quads 2 BIG thumbs up! keep up the good work!
