i would say the fx400 would smoke a 400ex its as light as a blaster! The only problem i see with the fx is the fuel injection...one piece of dirt and ya gotta take em off and get em cleaned or get new ones!! My understanding is that they are comin out in the first part of next year..as soon as i hear they are taken orders im puttin a deposit down! in jectors or not i think they will be BADA$$

The Cannondale will have more power than the 400ex. I read that Cannondales bike with the same engine is not as powerful as the YZ426 4-stroker of Yamaha's though. As far as handling, being set-up as pretty much a racer, it should be awesome. As much trouble as Cannondale has had with the bikes (last I heard, they still were not shipping), we may never see the quad.

No way to tell no one has one yet. To be honest if it does not kick the living crap out of the EX i really don't see the point of making it. Why you ask? well the EX is a good machine, if not one of the best sport machines of all time. Why make something that isn't as good but in the same class? I actually own stock in Cannondale and am hoping for a very sucessful machine. They are going to have some tough competition for the Raptor and the EX. It had better rock.

I here nothing but problems with this bike. They cannot get the EFI right and there is tons of little things that are wrong with it. No valve on gas tank, have to take all the plastics off to do something simple. It has same engine as the FX400, and they say that that engine is not nere as powerfull as the other bikes. I think it will be a mistake if you all go out and buy this bike when it first comes out. From all the bad look and delays this company has I would not want to be the ginaue pig(spelling) I hope it is a awesome bike because it sure would look good in my garage next to my Raptor, 400EX, and 250R. I will wait till nexy year to get mine.

I agree RaPteR316.
Motocross Action pretty much said that the C-dale bikes are a piece of junk! They were all disappointed about how long it took to release and then have the prototype go thru 3 engines in one test. It's sad really, the rest of the bike is top quality(bars, chain, wheels, frame)if only the motor would be up to par.
Actually to give them the benefit of the doubt. The company that was to build the motor originally, backed out at the last minute forcing Cannondale to attempt to build their own right before they released them. They better get it straight quick if they want a loyal customer following though.
