I am thinking about trading the king quad and mojave in on a cannible and start racing. How does the cannible hold up.Does the stock handlebars hold up to alot of wrecking and rolling. Does it have the same handlebars as the blaze.

 

This quad IS durable. I've put mine through some hella riding since october. Rocks, water, and lots of WFO. The handlebars aren't good though and your should have your choice aftermarket ready after that first good crash. I still haven't heard any credible claims of frame failure!

 

In the short 2 1/2 months I've owned my Dale, she's been through hell! I've been to a couple Hare Scrambles, motorcross tracks, lots of Poker runs, and I've been pounding the local state forest trail regularly. The only gripe I have, is the soft rims. I had the dealer put all the stuff on my quad before I picked it up. I rode a stock Cannibal, and knew what I wanted to change. For close to $600, I've brought it up to "racing standards". I think it's a great machine to start out racing on.

 

I've put my Cannibal through some hell. The stock handle bars are just like any other stock handle bars... they're steel, so you'll bend them pretty easy. The Speed, Blaze, and Moto have TAG handle bars (which are aluminum). The frame has no cracks or bends in it and I have cased many doubles and triples, I've rolled, flipped, and cartwheeled it and yet there is NO damage to the frame or motor... the plastics are a little scratched up though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. The wheels might as well be plastic... the back ones haven't given me any problems but the front wheels turned into eggs. The stock power is awesome and my friend on a 440ex w/ Yosh pipe, WB cam, and WB rev box, is about dead even with my completely stock Cannondale. I bought some stock Honda wheels for the front and I flipped them around makin the Dale about 49 inches wide (thanks for the awesome deal YZGUY), I'm about to get some 18" Turf Tamers, and I need to invest in a +4 axle since my stocker is bent... Don't worry man, remember the cartwheeling part I mentioned earlier? Well it broke my brake line, bent one wheel all to hell, bent my handle bars, bent my nerfbar, broke my nose, and just BARELY bent the axle. It took a pretty good wreck to do that so the axle is nothing to worry about.

Dude, after I typed all this, I found out that I am pretty friggin rough on my quad... I'm kinda bummed out now [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img].

 

Better you bend the bars than the expensive steering stem......

 

I have what you are looking for, NO trade-ins though.

 

Hey Dawzie, you selling your dale?

 

YES

 

<< I have what you are looking for, NO trade-ins though. >>

Why you selling it

 

He's building a CRF450 quad for his son, wants to sell the Dale. It's a sweet quad too!
