from what i hear the stock cannibal is 34 and the with the pipe and moto map you looking at 45 or so. but i think with a port and polish job like the one at trinity you looking at over 50+.

if i can get a 440 kit on my Z and get over 50 the c-dale should get the same, and they both have the 2-stroke like power but it has low end power too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

btw get the glamis or the cannibal for the dunes, i hear the ohlins are really rough and stiff, i like a softer ride in the dunes so you dont get beat up. i hope to get a c-dale soon too.

 

The Cannibal retails at $6995 and the Glamis is $8195.
The reason I said 33-45 hp on the cannondales is because I have heard the cannibal and speed have 33 at the wheels and the blaze and moto at 39 hp at the wheels. Others have said 39 for the cannibal and speed and 45 for the blaze and moto. I don't know who to believe, all I know is it's got alot of power and sometimes I find myself wishing it had less. This is when I'm racing in the woods and almost blow a corner do to the response of the quad. I've started to get used to it but it still surprises me at times.

 

The 250r will take Dales up steep sandhills if it's long enough. I'm talking a ported piped 250r. My buddy has a K&T ported R and I can get him out of the hole and through fourth gear, but when we hit the long steep dunes he pass's me. If you have a highend port job for the dunes the Dale will surely wax it on a track as traction is part of the equation. I race mx occassionally and a stage III port job on a R is WORTHLESS on a track. A Dale w/ Moto mapping is what you want, but in your case keep what you already own.. The Dales rev to the moon w/o the hit of a two stroke..We have owned Trinity, DJ Racing, CT 295r's, CT 350r powervalve and many modded 250r's. There is dunes here DS's, Raptors, and the mighty Dale can't get up. There is simply no run at them. A modded 250r can get up all of them w/ a good rider...

 

I heard Wednesday that the GasGas quads STILL haven't went to production yet.

 

check out the unbiased race between me and knowsalot. i have a modified 250r with a race ready 310 pro-x kit also and knowsalot's cannon dale was just as fast as my r. i have never ridden in the sand but i'm a believer in the power of a c-dale.

 

I don't see any of our quads being beaten by a Cannondale no matter what type of modifications have been done to them. We will find out soon enough and I am going to make sure the whole world knows it!!!!

Sandgod;
So if I read you correctly, you recommend just staying with the 250R for dune riding?

 

CAP'N CRUNCH,

Your wakeup call is near.

You WILL be made a believer and when I'm done, your boys might even be looking for a new ride themselves.

 

Getting back to the topic.....

What exactly is a dune? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

A dune is somebody who makes comments worth nothing, Oh thats a Goon!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Yes, if you want to shoot hills and such a 250 will do better then a Dale. A very good port job on a 295 sleeve will out do a 350r powervalve.....
