WE HAVE THE 2003 BIKE SPECS:
Stopped by my dealer and picked up a brochure for the 2003 Cannondale bikes. Some of the highlights are there will be three versions of the E440. E440R will be just like we have today with Ohlins. E440A 45mm forks and a REVLOC of all things. E440 with non-Ohlins 45mm forks. There will also be the C440R GNCC bike, X440 Motorcross and the S440 Super Motard. Check'em out.
