Just wondering. I think the price is good for what the quad is, if it can compete with the other high $$$$$ aftermarket quads and I think it will.

 

im getting one

 

Hey thumper, If I get one it will be from you guys thats for shure. Do you agree about the Moto price? Also do you have any idea if all the software and everything for the GP system will come with it for the listed price or will this stuff be more.

 

hey cdale we would be gladto seeyou again we like to make sure our customers are happy has everything been going ok i talked to one of the test riders and he said they are still up in the air on the shocks not for sure on zero preload triple rate or dual as far as the gp system it looks like everthing will be included not sure on the price i have heard 12450 but then i heard it was going to be that much hopefully it will be less your bottle should be there tuseday we had a guy come in today and he was dead set on buying a raptor did not even wont to look at anything else but i talked him in to riding my fx that changed his mind quick he is picking up a cannable monday see ya

 

Thats great, I think alot of people dont even get to see the C-Dales let alone ride one because there just isn't as many dealers around yet so they go by what the mags. say and dont consider driving for a few hrs. to check one out. When they do see or ride one though they want one. All of my friends realy dig my FX, but they either have already bought new quads or they can't get a new one right now. I'll be up there this coming weekend if you guys are going to be open. If not the following weekend. I guess it would be kind of hard to decide on one type of shock for a production quad. Everyone from my weight (135lbs) up to people ???lbs could be buying them. I have heard people in the Yamaha forum say that triple rates are not good for the raptor because of the quads weight. I think the triple rates would be fine for the Moto. They would be awesome for me anyway. See ya in a week or two.

 

send your freinds our way we would glad to see them we will be open this weekend we are haveing a big sale on our bikes see ya

 

hey Cdale,

Whoever said triple rates wouldn't work because of the Raptor's weight doesn't know what they are talking about. The difference between a dual and triple rated shock is that with the extra spring you can fine tune the suspension that much more for the individual rider. The triple rate lets the tuner run the main and secondary springs a little lighter because the third spring can be set stiffer, as compared to a dual rate system. Basically it does the work of a linkage system for you a-arms. That is true as far as conventional suspension is concerned anyways.

Zero-preload is a different story. Where on conventional shocks the two or three springs are set at progressively stiffer rates, zero-preload utilize a fairly soft short spring to obtain sag. Anyways... I hope Cannondale goes with a zero-preload system just because they have such a huge advantage over anything else when it comes to MX.

 

Im saving for one.Should have one in feb.
