Hello, my friend is going to be buying one of these quads used real soon, he has a deal on a Cannibal for $3500 and a slightly modded Z400 for $4000, both are new 03-04, the Cannibal has maxxis razr2's and nerfs, the z400 has douglas .190 with razr2s, kill switch and tons more..which one is the better quad and if you could list the top speeds on each of them..and does a cannibal have reverse?and are they loud?what type of engine do they have?and is there any problems them?

 

I would recommend the z . Athough both quads have issues the z would be a better bet for someone who is just a gas and go type or has little mechanical experience. The 03 cannons would also need the crank balanced besides the standard updates if you want to ride worry free. Powerwise the cannondale can break 40horse with a pipe and mapping which I doubt the z will get close without engine work. Also the cannibal was designed to compete with other sport quads so they cheapened it up with lower cost parts like you get on average sport quads. You would be much happier with an 02 speed ,blaze or moto.

 

thanks..now he just gotta convince his parents on gettin this quad..lol
