2005 Buyer's Guide: ATK


ATK

ATK has resurrected the Cannondale line of ATVs and has done so with a unique twist. Each unit, now badged as a full-fledged ATK, has been painstakingly examined to ensure it runs stronger and more reliably than previous incarnations. Each comes with new graphics, a new seat (with a new logo), an aluminum valve cover, an aluminum impeller and new ATK engine cases. In addition, the engines come with a new crank, a piston, a cylinder sleeve (which puts it at 449cc now), new tranny gears, upgraded internal engine fasteners and much more. In the end, you get a more-civilized (read: quieter) –running machine.
