im going to my c-dale dealer this weekend coming up on the 5th of october..well ive been wanting one and wanting one and with the seasons closing coming up ( im off an LT80 and now gonna go to the speed) im going to go pick up my new quad which is gonna be a speed. Well i have heard that they are harder to steer than the 400ex's and such, but they handle better but with more rider input needed? is this so? any help will be greatly appreciated cuz i want to know im making the right choice instead of buying this 440ex.

thanks

Wow, from an lt80 to a connondale. I think there might be a little of a difference.

From what I have read the Cannondales handle better the faster they go. As far as comparison, there isnt one.

HEY MAN I'M ALSO 14 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE A CANNONDALE SPEED. THE 400EX DOESNT EVEN COMPARE TO THE CANNONDALE, SAME WITH A 440EX.WHAT CLASS DO YOU RACE IN AND WHERE? THEY SHOULD OF LET YOU RACE IF YOU WERE ALMOST 15. ANY WAYS THE CANNONDALE IS A LITTLE HARDER TO RIDE AND OFF THE BIG JUMPS IT TENDS TO LAND A BIT CROOKED, ONCE YOU GET A HANG OF IT, IT'S NO PROBLEM. HANDLING IS NOT A CONCERN. BY THE WAY, YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP WITH YOUR SPELLING

i was racing open D which is for warriors, blasters, and more of stock 400s for a hwile there then i swtiched to 4 stroke C and won most races then they started to get suspicious...my lt 80 was pretty fast too man it was 6 inches wider than a stock one with tamers n pipes n bars, nerfs, beadlocks..it was trick

im in nj they are kinda strict about the law's here...over in PA i can get away with racing..thanks for the info
oh yeah its an AMA event so they dont let me race, at the other places non AMA sanctioned events they let me slide...
