There is no better reason for the manufacturers to start working on a production class Pro Quad series. A bone stock Cannondale engine in a bone stock Cannondale frame with a Trinity Exhaust, Lonestar a-arms, Lonestar swingarm and Pep Shocks takes 3rd overall in the Clear Channel Pro Quad Series. Just think what this machine could do with a modified motor! (From what I hear, Trinity is already working on some major motor mods for the 440 engine.)

Hats off to Jeremy Schell, Trinity Racing, Cannondale, Lonestar and Pep for great performance.

 

720- was the stock motor holding him back? Was the quad re-mapped? Stock exhaust? Thanks

 

I think a 3rd overall for the series says that the engine was doing just great. What I did notice was that the one or two full mod Yamaha 4 strokes had a slight advantage in the mid power area. Schell was able to make some suspension changes that helped make up for that slight power issue.

On the pipe, it was a custom Trinity pipe. Obviously, once the pipe was installed, the fuel map needed some adjustment "from the lap top."

Looking at the Cannondale engine components on the bench, it is clear that they have the superior engine design for the application. The bore, stroke, port shapes and angles, chamber design, etc., are state of the art. However, as with any product, there is always some room for improvement.
