The reason I ask is alot of my riding is with my Dad and my kids, speeds average about 5 to 10 mph or so. I really want to buy a cannondale this spring, will this type of riding harm this machine? Will it over heat? or anything? I plan on posting the news when I buy
one. Thanks alot

 

I had the same problem. I either ride very slow with my dad and a couple of his friends or like a madman with a couple of my friends. I bought the cannibal put an hmf exhaust and the moto map on it. I have been out with my dad and the c-dale will go slow with no problems but you will find it hard to ride it slow. It screams to be rode hard! I have not had mine long but so far I love it. My friends cant believe how fast it is.

 

No dude, it won't hurt it or overheat. I sometimes ride with a bunch of utility guys and my 'dale does great. Of course they usually let me lead the way.

I am so excited about getting a sport quad again, my last one was a lt250r, lots of fun on that machine. I think the gray/blue cannondale is cool, its on their site. What add-ons do you guys have?

 

You can also change the mapping to make the slow riding easier. I got a "traction map" from Optimum and it made the throttle really smooth and easy for about the first 1/3 then it opened up. They said they made it for some guys running in alot of mud who needed less wheel spin of the line. I could lug around at idle all day with that map.

 

The dealer here has a speed with the US flag like blown across it, it is sweet!

 

Are you sure it's a Speed? Or a Limited Edition Cannibal? That is the way they look, but I have one, and let me tell you the craftmanship of the way the decals were installed suck big time. I bet my grandma in the nursing home could have done better. Thank god the rest of the machine isn't put together that poor.

 

JayBR - Can you please send me the traction-map? ahouk@rochester.rr.com
I have a Moto/Speed map that you might be interested in. Thanks!

 

Sorry you are correct, Cannibal but the graphics are flawless I looked and did not see and bumps or creeses.
