Radfastdude -

What exactly are "stage 3 holeshots" that you say you have on you quad. And how does your "dual custom 6 pack rack" work. Never heard of one of those. And which side of your "flat side" carb is flat? What type of jetting are you running with all those mods?

Something sounds a little fishy to me . . .

I am guessing since you are a "proud owner of a 2003 rm 85" you are what, 14, 15? 12? No track would let you race a "super wicked cool raptor" against a cannondale. If you even have a raptor.

By the way - you already answered your own question about if cannondales can beat a raptor. You read that cannondales can keep up with the new 450's, and the 450's are a little quicker than the raptor, so 1+1=2, the cannondale should be a little quicker than a raptor.

RR1

p.s. I was referring to the base Cannibal. Any of the others would be even farther ahead of the raptor.

rad its not flat side its flat SLIDE even the link u mention says it. Thats all RaptorRacer1 was trying to point out.

Just go to wyoduners web site and check out the vids of sandgod and budda. I am at a loss as to why raptors have such a struggle up choke cherry and a cannibal motors right up . It might be wieght transfer .

You do know there are many different models with different parts and power configurations ? Right? The cannibal would be the weakest model with cheapo parts like you find on a 400ex,raptor. The blaze and moto having the most power with exotic aftermarket parts comparable to a stock atv with many thousands in engine works and aftermarket suspension.

A lot of money for a new unproven quad? Well what do you call the price of the 450r,yz450,raptor.

I wonder how much these new quads would have cost if they had put EFI .alloy frame,titatuim exhaust,nerfs,long travel race suspension,ect on them. Probalbly more than cannondales were before the bankruptcy.

There was more then 1 cannondale model RADFASDUDE7777777.. Make yourself more clear. I think either way the c dale will take it. The raptor is one of the most choked up machines stock i think but its like that for legal purposes. Unwind her a little and it would be the fastest around

Depends on mods

Stock for stock I'm taking any Cdale - the Raptor is choked up bad.

I was wondering which one was lighter, and if the cannondales can beat raptors in the dunes. I just read the cannondalevs450s thread and saw they keep up with the 450s and 450s beat raptors(sometimes, vise versa) I have spanked a few cannondales in my day at the tracks, but have also been dominated by them, although they were not official races(not like it would make a difference lol)

stock vs stock(although cannondales come not stock stock lol)

Posted by: radfastdude7777777

is it true cannondales are non reliable because i may want to get one instead of a 450 and my dad is a mechanic so he maintains my machines every day and how much are the denli or whatever cannondale is sold to gonna be about?
