The Cannibal is awesome for aggressive trail riding. If you are a slow to medium speed rider you will not be impressed.

If you're a slow to medium paced rider, why even own a sport quad?

the "C" is great in the woods because of its light weight and excellent handling.
the problem for me personally is that you want to push the bike so hard that i am always having to idle and wait a 1/2 mile ahead or at every corner so you dont lose your riding buddys.

Thats funny Cannitor!
That's the same way I described riding with my wife!

It's true about the woods, great for the agressive rider, not so good for the more moderate. As I've gotten to know the bike I'm more comfortable letting the engine just loaf along. She just begs to be let run though. For those interested in the 'dale, Figure out how to get a ride on one. It is an intoxicating rush, but not for every rider.

We don't have much for hills, but I really want one of the $200 red anodized HMF slipons/remap.

Hey Can, I ride mostly in sand/clay pits from Mobile to Crestview as well as some hunting lease land and now a bit of MX track too. Riding spots are hard to come by up here with no State/County areas. We've got 9-10 pretty good spots within 2 hours of pensacola.
