Warriorbansheeboy you have no experience with any of these atvs. You have no idea what an arctic cat utility quad can do, spend a few years hauling big game out of the Rockies of Wyoming and Colorado and then you can talk to me about the capabilities of Arcitc cat.

I'll wager you've never even seen a cannondale, let alone had the pleasure of riding one or having it kick your butt. You are beginning to get on the nerves of more than just other teenagers, you are annoying long standing members. Time to tone it down a few notches and have a little respect for something you know nothing about.

 

Make no mistake abouit, those Cannondales are quick.

 

There is a fellow I occasionaly ride with that had 2 cannibals. One of them had been through 2 engines and he blew the third while he was there at the hill. The other had been updated, just like the other atv, and was still running great on the first engine. So go figure.

 

Thats an interesting idea. Back at the last days before the factory closed the I recall the engine failure rate was around 6 to 7 percent which is pretty high but you have to consider the fact that the engines were putting out power never heard of in a stock quad and the engine was devolped on a shoestring budget. Only recently have we deterined the actual cause of many crank failures. I am confident us privateers and ATK have nailed down all the issues they didnt get a chance to finish. We didnt have millions of dollars for R&D either.
Now we have big bore and stroker kits , a dizzying array of fuel maps and a flood of oem parts dirt cheap.
You can pick up and old crate moto ,stick $500 into updates and have a race ready quad for half the price of modding the crap out of a new 450 from the other companies.

 

Umm yea lets wager, my dad bought my sister an arctic cat for her b'day, its tiny tho its like a 90 i think, dont pay atention to it. And a cannondale kiking my but? the only time ive ever seen, or have physically lost with my banshee, was to a modded out yfz 450 and another heavily moded banshee, i hate to brag but my shee goes about 116 mph, and it gets to about 70 fairly quickly, then it takes about,, id say about 30-40 seconds before you get to full speed, the things a beast and i will never lose to a cannondale

 

and i have a sportsman 800 talk about the capabilities of that. name a arctic cat that compares to that

 

lol, 30-40 seconds to reach full speed..... yea i can top my car out at over 100 in under 30 seconds, id hope a 400 pound machine that goes 116 could do it faster than my POS car.......

 

No comment. Every body just keep your frustation to yourself. The cannondale's are good atv's. I have got beat by one, the only one in the block. Yet, I haven't gotten the pleasure to ride one.

 

I have been running 3 cannondale ATVs. I run them hard and maintain them perfectly, absolutely NO Issues.

 

hay jerry gomez, what kind of oil do you run? I heard mobil 1 is good. please reply
