Those of you that rode the predator and rode a canondale what do you think faster just as fast or wont even keep where with a cannondale. Where talking top speed and on a moto cross track?

Just an opinion about a 500cc machine on a track weight wise , umm better know what you are doing on the dunes that thing would be a beast in the woods call 911 to stand by, hitting a tree at 40 -50- 60 mph still hurts though if for some reason that would land on you OUCH . i would like to ride the thing out on a track and give an assement of what it is capable of , as far as now i'll stick to the dale .

Once again just my opinion .

i think the polaris is probably faster but it is a heavy machine. but i don't think it really matters on a track because those 2 quads won't even be racing in the same class. the limit in the 250 class is 440cc (the cannon is 432) so the preditor will have to race in the open class.

No cc size class's here in Utah. ATV racing is so small here that's why. If I see a Predator at the track I'd be glad. I am hoping to see one at the track, but I won't hold my breath. Who knows my brother Buddah has owned every quad known to mankind. Maybe he'll get this thing and sell it in three months like he does w/ everything. At least I could get an honest opinion of the thing and see it on a track too.....

Top end doesn't mean squat in the real world. Many other factors determine a great quad....

Just guessing I would say that the Cannondale is faster. I only say this because new sport atvs are never as fast as they are suppose to be. Remember how the Raptor was suppose to blow everything away when it first came out? Well where I drag race at they have a class for atvs and motorcylces and the only thing that decides whether a stock banshee or raptor wins is the driver. I do think that it will be in the top three as far as top speed. I just think it may be a little to heavy to outrun a Dale.
