R&S Performance - Official Cannondale ATV and Motorcycle Dealer and Cannondale ATV Performance Upgrade Center

Saturday September 8th, 2001 we road tripped to the Badlands Offroad Park in Attica Indiana for our first "You ride, you decide ..." organized test ride. Despite the threat of thunderstorms all day, over 15 people turned out to experience the American made difference. It turned out to be a perfect day without one drop of rain! Our test riders had the choice of testing the new 2002 x440s moto, 2002 Cannibal quad, or a 2001 FX400 quad. Hear what they had to say as soon as they finished their test rides!

As soon as we arrived we didn't even get our paddle tires on before people started gathering to learn about Cannondale's new line-up.

COMMENTS:
"I beat a Raptor out there! This is totally different, it has gobs and gobs of power. I thought my Raptor was good at having power when you are in too high of a gear but this has so much more. It feels like it is 100lbs lighter than a Raptor. I do miss my nerf bars though. Only negative comment is my wife won't let me have it."

We asked what Randy thought of the Cannondale's power. "It's there all the time, it's right there. It just wants to run. You want it and it's there."
