Cannondale moto 440

[400exRacerX]

Hey,
I was just wondering if anyone else has seen the new cannondales in the latest issue of ATVsport mag? That new moto 440 looks sick, I meen it comes with +2 a arms, a +4 adjustable axle, ohlins zps shocks with rezzies, itp mx holeshots, itp beadlock rims, magura hydrualic clutch, tag handlebars, nerf bars, tether kill switch, and a fmf silencer.
Thats a lot of stuff for a stock quad, I dont exactly know if i would trsut this new atv yet, but that gp fuel control system looks pretty sweet....what are your thoughts on this new atv besides its retail for $12,450.00 OUCH!!

Well I saw a Cannondale bike, but not sure what CC it is. It was one of those Cannibles. It look aight, but didnt sound too good?
sounded funny

[400exRacerX]

They say that sound is there valve train and it is a normal sound and they hope that costomers come immune to this sound because it is supposely normal??

That noise is the gear driven camshafts. Apparently they're using straight cut gears which are strong, but do make some noise.

It's a pretty cool sound if you know what it is.......

yea, the sounds is kinda kewl after a while, there a 432cc, and the 12k price is cheap! im serious! and the stuff you listed isnt half the stuff the moto440 has! im gettin a cannibal in 2003 and i want axis and walsh stuff so i wana start with a cannibal a end up around a 14k quad

I rode a Cannondale when I was in Florence this past summer. The power deliver is pretty cool, but when we lined up on comp hill I beat him by two quad lengths with my EX. In my opinion I think it is more fun to build a Quad then buy a race ready one out of the box. It makes it so every Quad is unique in some way.

I think the moto44 is a sweet quad for the money considering how much it costs us to add all our parts to our quads. You can spend 1,200 on shocks, 800 on a- arms, 330 on axle, 2000 on all the little things like nerfs and expensive bars, tires, ect. Then you are getting bead locks, motor mods, fmf silencer, ALUMINUM FRAME, I almost think its worth it if you want a race ready quad out of the box. It seems like the bike the pros would want to use without having to build a new bike everytime they get into a bad crash or have to pay somone else to do it and pay more because you are buying each part separate.

Just shut up, your 426ex will never touch a Cannondale. The 440ex outpulls it in the midrange, but at the top end the Cannondale wins. To beat it all around you need a 465ex.

I agree with ya catfish, the C-dale's are FAST! The 465 would beat it by a hair. C-dale is the new "king of the hill"

I still havn't driven one but from what I hear they have way to much power, I had download a video of a guy coming out of a berm and is all I can say is he must of had a twist throttle because he rolled it by giving it to much gas out of a turn. It was pretty bada** watching that video of him coming out of that berm.
