I would have to say Cannondale also.. As far as the stock 250R frame goes, I wouldn't give them very good marks. The stock versions of those frames may have a good design as far as handling goes, but they don't resist cracking very well. Unless you get them gusseted they won't hold up for very long if you ride very many rough trails or do a lot of jumping. That is one reason as to why there is such a big market out there for aftermarket frames for those quads.

Yup cannnodale , even though they are alloy they are super thick and heavy duty. R frames are good but they eventually crack in several areas if abused. Thats what mig welders are for.

The R frame is probably the best to go with. All the frame builders base the geometry on the R and most racers use this frame

Don't really have to abuse them for them to crack. I broke my 250R frame in 7 different places before I finally got an aftermarket one. They crack most around the swingarm mounting location and by the motor mounts. I have seen them crack where the lower a-arm mounts too.
