Well, I'd go with the Speed. I have read that some Cannibal's without Hydro Clutches can't have them put on because the case halves or covers or something are different, and non interchangeable. I like the Silver/Yellow color scheme better, also. One thing though, aren't the upgraded Ohlins ZPS style, and the Blazes aren't?????? I don't know, sorry I couldn't really help.

I would go speed, I saw one sitting in front of my dealer yesterday and it looks sweet. I am going to stop by and check it out today if it is not sold.

make sure the cannibal is a "new" one. i would rather have axis,peps, or elkas but if you want the ohlins go for it.

I think you also have to consider any upgrades you might do down the road in the way of suspension mods. For instance, do you think you will eventually put on +2 or +3 a-arms sometime? If so, I would try and get a good price on the Cannibal with the Arvin shocks, then when you upgrade to aftermarket a-arms, you'll want to put better shocks on anyway like PEP ZPS's.
So what is the price the dealer is asking for the Cannibal in it's stock form?

Well I am in the process of buying a cannondale, anyway the dealer told me he would switch out the shocks on the cannibal(arvins?) with a set of Blaze shocks. Now this cannibal like this would cost me about $400 less than a new speed. Do you think this is worth it. I called Joey at Ohlins USA and he said if he upgraded the speed shocks they would be dual rate with rezzys, but no rebound, compression adjustable. How big of a deal is this. Which route would you guys go. Also are the rear shocks on all the quads the same from cannibal, speed, blaze. Thanks guys -josh
So:
Speed = $8300 OTD
Cannibal w/ Blaze shocks = $7900 OTD
ah which one?????

Well the cannibal has the magura clutch already and is new, and I REALLY like the speed color scheme better too (something about yellow and red together, reminds me of a hotdog)haha. BTW how much does the cannondale plastic cost, heard it was very reasonable, like $150 for a set. I am still at a loss.

as long as everyone is talking about cannondale shocks i have a friend who has a new Blaze and at the last race his ohlins shocks which come stock on blaze's locked up
has anyone else ever heard of this happening or was it an oddity
