Yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. The problem with the Cannondale is gonna be parts. Compare a head of a Cannondale and the head (or whatever) to Yamaha, Honda or anything else, and it'll be twice as much. Guaranteed. That's the problem with new companies, the parts are gonna be hard to get and they're gonna be really expensive. I'm sure it's a great quad, it's just the availability of parts. I'd love to ride one!

 

I think the cannondale looks like a frog. And even if the cannondale beat the raptor i would still choose the raptor over the cannondale.

 

Well, Ok thats fine by me. But I still prefer the look of the raptor over the FX400, My question is
how far where they racing and of course is the price less than $10,000? But really I think if they can actually build it, it will be a nice quad for people, provided they hold up and provided that any companies will build parts for aftermarket use. lets just wait until we actually ride one, If its like a Raptor it will be good.

 

Big deal as far as I'm concerned their all overpriced.

The MX bike got HORRIBLE reviews.
Dirt Bike mag. basically said they're junk in a polite sort of way.
And I think the quad should be called the "Frog".
Maybe you can "hop" to the front of the pack!!
HAHA

 

Were you expecting Cannondale to say "our quad sucks, is ugly, and overpriced"... Of course they're saying it handles marvellous and performs great. I do believe them though. From Cannondale, the chassis geometry must be pretty good, and the engine is almost a new one, at least way more modern than the old Raptor and DS650.
If I had to consider the style of any sport machine...I'd get the DS. I don't like SuperFrog, neither SuperBug.
One more detail, the Cannondale is built for racing, not performance trail riding.
I wish I could see (and test) one for real. Competition can't be bad for the customers.

 

I think it looks pretty cool, kinda like a 300ex and a quadzilla. I don't see why your joking about it, someday it might just pass you out on the trail. Whatever.

 

There's a few things that you all need to consider here. First of all this is all here say since there is no proof. Second there is no replacement for displacement. The Raptor has a 260cc advantage over the FX400. The Raptor is also seriously detuned. Try tuning that fuel injection after you bore, stroke, cam, and bump up the compression on the FX400. Good luck finding the software. The stock fuel/air mapping will only go so far. I'll stick with my carb., thank you.

 

They say the MSRP will be $6999, at least for now.
