As far as the Gas-Gas out running the Cannondale is concerned.....My buddy ran against one on a kfx400 and was not impressed at all with the performance or the lack of performance of the Gas-Gas...Just a new bike on the block and everyone wants one but will soon realize it aint the bike to have......And he is a very reliable and very fast GNCC XC racer....Im only giving his view on it...Id stay with the Dales...<<<<<thats my opinion!

 

My personal drag was with a piped banshee, stock banshee, and a stock predator. In a wide open field. The predator and I were close right off the gate. My cannibal pulled longer and harder than the predator to pull away from him in second gear. He stayed 3 bike lengths away from me till the finish line. Both shees come in last.

A slightly modded predator will be the best compatition for a dale.
My cannibal is stock.
