The Cannondale brochure which is based on a SuperFlow dyno (not a DynoJet which yeilds higher numbers)test says the Cannibal has 33 HP, also says the 400ex has 21, Raptor has 28, and DS has 37. It also says the Moto & Blaze are 39HP (results of a pipe and FI mapping) so for all intensive purposes they are "piped" Cannibals, and you can't really "pipe" a Moto or a Blaze

now, lets do a theoretical comparison...
fact: dirtwheels "piped" a Raptor for a 34% increase in HP
fact: piping a Cannibal yeilds an 18% increase in HP
fact: dirtwheels "piped" a 400EX for a 2HP increase
assumption: based on the Bomb forum, a piped DS yeilds 2HP as well

using the SuperFlow dyno numbers...
that would give a "piped" 400EX 23HP & a ptw ratio of 0.0615
&
that would give a "piped" DS650 39HP & a ptw ratio of 0.0821
&
that would give a "piped" Raptor 38HP & a ptw ratio of 0.0952
&
that would give a "piped" Cannibal 39HP & a ptw ratio of 0.1040
__________________________________________________ ________________________

mathmatically, that means all of the following scenerios would be EQUAL in a drag race:

a "piped" 400EX with a 120lb. rider
a "piped" DS650 with a 264lb. rider
a "piped" Raptor with a 324lb. rider
a "piped" Cannibal with a 364lb. rider

just food for thought...

 

Dude! Does your boss know how much time you spent on this? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] LOL

 

WOW, cool comparison. Now do it with torque and see what you come up with. My one problem with it is though, I know, but dont have proof, that I got alot more than 2 HP out of my pipe.

 

A pipe DS650 would be about 42 hp not 39

 

I want to see the Cannibal with a 364lb. rider

364 pound rider on a cannondale ....can you say! "SNAP"..."CRACKEL"..&..&qu ot;POP"! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Does it really matter. My brother and I were thoroughly spanked by a bone stock Cannibal on our piped and jetted Raptors up Utah's Sand Mtn. We watched Ds's get spanked too. We obviously had way more hp, but Raptors and Ds's lack the rpm's to beat C-Dales in this situation so the hp thing is only good for so much. Not bashing just my surprising experience. All things condsidered the guy was lighter on a lighter machine, but not enough to spank us that bad. We all had the same gearing and paddles...

 

You should not believe everything you read.


DSWOLF.

 

ALLS i know a few months ago i looked on the cannondale site at there ads and they had weight to power charts with the cdale'400ex'raptor and ds. Then they had torque charts same bikes. Top speed charts same bikes. Drag race result charts same wait a minute!!!!! the ds is missing I WONDER WHY???????????
and this was cannondale site!
