Well I traded my DS650 for the Cannibal and have done my first two 10 minute break in periods, and so for It beats the DS hands down in my book. I was trying to do mx racing with the DS something It was not designed for because all I managed to do was bend two axles (one a Durablue) and bend the back rims beyond use. In my opion the DS was built for the sand dunes. Back to the cannibal love the way it sounds and rides so far, I really won't know to much to next year now because the racing is done here for this season

 

Glad you joined us Cannondale riders. I've yet to bend or break anything on my FX400. I've even run about 3psi in the tires and the rims held up fine. Does any one know if the rims are 190's? Im shure they are but I dont know they are pretty light. I've bent Douglas 120 and 160 rims before with out even riding hard. Anyway Bently keep a check for loose nuts mainly on the head pipe. and the steering stem plate thing (at the bottom of the stem). Let us know what you think after you get some hard ride time in on it o.k.

I wonder if thats why they call it the DuneSport650??? Something to think about. Oh yea, congrats on the C-Dale I want one bad...

Hey bentley, welcome to the family. I'm new too, only had the cannibal for 3 weeks but love it. I was born in Clinton, Iowa and have a bunch of family up that way. Where's Hudson? We visit/work up there every summer and next year I'll be bringin the quads. We've got pretty much year round ridin here, come visit and I'll show you around.

 

Hey Ryanstones, Hudson is about 7 miles south of Waterloo. If I ever make It out there I will for sure look you up, I bet theres alot of good riding out there. Let me know when your coming up this way.
