Yes its true. The Fx400 has been shipped. This is stright off the Cannondale site. As today, the first day of the trade show in indy, the annoncent that shipping would being imediatly. Dealers int eh vicinity of the plant have already recived some units. There is not cannondale form so i am posting this info here in the most read form.

I feel the company learned their lesson with the MX400 and because of that they did extra homework on the quad. If the quad is as good as they say, it is change the way racing is today.. Due to the new 440 pro class displacement limit, this machine could be a contentor for the title. Since cannondale is innovational, maybe they will form a race team. Everything sounds promising about the machine except the price of 8 grand! For that much you could buy a R and make it mx ready with a powervalved motor. So the fx has to be competive with heavly modified Rs to sell.

I hope its a great machine! But i will not be on line to by the first one!

Matt

who would want that ugly piece of crap? it's probably going to be in the shop more than out riding! nothing can come close to touching the quality or reliability of §HONDA§ Some quads may be faster than hondas, some may mud better, and some may be more whatever than honda, but not that many are, and none of them are as reliable as hondas

you have a YELLOW EX and you are calling the FX ugly? I saw the ones at the show and believe me, between the raptor and the FX, your YELLER EX is looking like the stone age....Good post, Einstein!

Where in the world are you getting that it costs 8 grand? Dirt wheels and every other magazine said it will cost $6950 or so.

Tell me about it..Talking about a ugle piece of crap??? Alot of people think the yellow EX is ugly. I just prefer Red b/ its HOndas color, but who are you to dog a company that is risking big money and taking a chance to build a awesome quad. Maybe it is not the best looking quad but it just my run like a beauty though.
Not trying to bash you or anything, but just give it a chance.

they aren't 8 grand, they aer $7,950! i read it right off of cannondales sight! go check it out before you call him an idiot! yeah, i think it looks pretty junky, but you cant tell that when you are sitting on it, and all of your riding buddies are going to be behind you, so they wont be able to see the front end either! full bore will probably come to the rescue also.
