CANNONDALE FILES CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY:
Sad day for the employees at Cannondale. They really did an awesome job creating the best bike on the planet but time wasn't on their side. What this means for parts and service for current bike owners is anyones guess at the moment. Hang in there, be patient and go ride your bike. Also, keep checking our forums for the latest.

RADICAL RON TREATS US TO SOME NEW DIRTBIKE MAPS:
The true power of fuel injection comes out when you upload new maps into your Cannondale. You like the bottom end on one map and the top end on another. No problem. Ron spliced an E440 map with an X440 map for HarryMoto and now we have an X map with a little more bottom end. Others prefer the C440 maps bottom hit so a set of X440 maps were created on that bottom feel as well. Check them out in our download area.
