What is the fastest stock fourwheeler? Also how fast does a stock Cannondale go and how fast does a stock DS 650 go. ANd how much horse power does a Cannondale have?

Changing the gearing can change speed. The Cannondale dose not make more power than the DS650 but has a better power to weight ratio due to the aluminum frame and smaller size.

I beleive I have read that the cannondale does like 74 mph stock and the DS is like 71 or 72. I think the baja with a couple more rpm will do a little more probably right there with the cannondale.

I also think that the cannondale is a nightmare compared to the DS, I was debating between the two and went with the DS Baja, because of size and future engine upgrades. The cannondale needs much more maintenance and requires intensive steps to do some routine maintenance. Also, there are barely any mods available for it.

I believe the cannondale is probably the best quad for racing out of the box, and the DS is probably the best quad for desert and dune riding out of the box. The comfort of the DS cannot be beat. I have not put a lot of hours on mine yet, but going from the raptor to the DS has been very pleasurable.

Sorry to ramble. To answer your question, I think the cannondale is a bit faster overall.

Top speed difference between those two? A light breakfast, skip lunch, and add a 1 lb.psi in the rear tires. LOL

Or more importantly, has anyone had the cahunas to take it there? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I've had mine up full throttle, but didn't have enough runway to get it off the ground. I've heard they have the ability to get up to 85 or even 90 with the right gearing, but don't quote me on that, because I myself have never found the need or the right track/trail to reach mach-2.

I prefer the 0-60 quickness.
