they look to be a very unique quad first I've heard of them

 

[Mathius]

Wow.. I haven't seen one of those for awhile!
They are a badass quad. But they are expensive to work on, and hard to find parts for.

 

[heyhey]

in the ad it says his was dynoed at 58 hp.Gonna look around a bit to try and find a yfz but if not I'll look into this one some more.

 

[Mathius]

They are a good quad. If I had the money I would buy it, if for nothing more than the cool factor.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Best quad ever when their staying together

 

[lbjamm]

Never heard of them, but it looks pretty cool.

cannondale had the most advanced quads when they came out.

First to have efi
First 450 with optional long travel shocks
first with over 10" travel out of the box
first race ready out of the box
first with all aluminum frame
and the first out of the box to climb canondale hill..

they went out of business in 04 i think, had to many projects going to stay afloat, wicked awesome quads, ATK bought em out the Highland USA bout out ATK and currently make some of the most extream taylor fit atvs in the world out of their shop in oklahoma.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

They were just ahead of their time and just didnt have enough testing in

 

[duneracerweston]

the last 2 years they made them they had all the kinks out of the efi but they were already in to deep in debt.

it is a 450..

I'd stay away, lots of problems and hard to get parts now.

At the time they were very advanced, but lacked reliability.

Today's 450s by the big 4 are much better.

I totally agree with ya. But just having one to show off from time, to time would be awesome. Especially one thats all decked out like the one in question.
I really like it. :tup:

I know where one is right now. My buddy has one thats needs a wire harness. Weird and wild quad for sure.
