Were bought by ATK and the parts that I keep breaking are available.. SO I guess that C-dale can still rule a little... MADE IN THE USA.... AND THE ONLY QUAD THAT COULD SAY THAT IN HISTORY

And they supposedly fixed all the problems that C'dale had with their engines! Too bad they won't be developing new quads. I'm a little skeptical with Dinli at the helm. Although ATK will be producing the same Cannondale we all know and love!

COunt yourself as one of the lucky few Blazin if you have not had any problems! Seems like half the Dales out there have unbalanced cranks. Mine broke a connecting rod last month. Last year my decompression lever broke off the cam taking out the scavenger pump then taking out the head, after having blown the engine twice in 14 months i sold it and counted my losses. Good thing i only bought it for little over 4000 new. I was at Champion motors last month and he had 7 Dales in the shop all ripped apart, a few with bad cranks. Well good luck with it, i think Cannondale had a few good ideas but they did a terrible job releasing these things with soo many problems. Looks like ATK did fix all the problems but i think these quads have a tainted record and it will be tough for them to compete with Yamaha, Honda, and Suzuki.
