Cannondale is dead...it has been buried....please please let it rest in peace
It didn't do anything that great in its life that anyone should mourn its loss

aw come on... play nice now. we'll have to wait and see.

and I am curious why ATK bought just the parts division. that's very strange, I guess we shall see. A comeback would be cool!

Talked to my buddies out East tonight and was told the owner of the company that supplied the gears to Cannondale will be going to Utah next month. The designs for the Cannondale quiet gear sets were dusted off and are being reviewed by engineering and will be going along to Utah so....................

Maybe there is still hope for an American made ride!

If what you say is true on the new gearset I would think ATK will move foward on it. R&S says they can knock the engine noise down by 25% w/ something they offer, I forget..
Evhwg ATK is just a small company. I know I live in Utah and have followed them for over 10 yrs... They rescued us that's for sure and can probably compliment the ATK line w/ something from this deal..

to my understanding atk is working on a 700cc two stroke quad to be made here. they have it in a motorcycle now but are looking for a company to do r&d on the chassis side of it. don't ask me how a two stroke will make it past epa with there lovely standards on air pollition.

Hey Lewis
Thanks for the vote of confidence. DinLi makes the best youth ATV on the market in our opinion. We had to wait for the word to say anything but we got the OK Friday To let you all know that DinLi will be making the Cannondale ATV's in Tiwan in the near future.

I hate to say it, but if the Dale isn't made in America it has lost it's edge as far as a consumer stand point. HarleyDavidson=proud Americans. C-Dale and Tawain=nothing.....
