What ever happened to REV. Their site hasnt been updated in awhile and they havent posted in awhile.

I was just thinking the same thing. Especially after what's happening with Cannondale.

I'll see if I can get Sean Hilbert to stop in and give us an update.

All this bad news stinks, I was really hoping that we could have a competitive U.S. based dirtbike company.

Agreed, After the Cannondale thing, I hope they don't go under..... I still think C'dale had what looked to be a very good machine.

"I still think C'dale had what looked to be a very good machine."
Not from what I saw. Underpowered, overweight and unreliable.
Posted by: MikeT
Didn't know all that. I knew it was currently unreliable but I didn't know it was heavy and underpowered.

They never had the power of a 426 and they weighed quit a bit more.

Rich and I will be heading to the Indy Show in a few weeks to do our annual new products photo shoot and review. We'll track down the REV! guys and find out how their ambitious project is progressing.
Stay Tuned

I guess I shouldn't be waiting a few days between logins...
The Rev! team is still very much alive and hard at work...albeit on a slightly different path than what you see on our (not recently updated) website. All I can say for now is that if our attorneys get their jobs done in a timely manner we'll have an official update in 30-45 days.
As far as Cannondale goes...I'm equally bummed that their efforts didn't work out. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I think few people realize how difficult it is to bring a complex product like a motorcycle to market...they obviously underestimated the task.

I'm glad the hear that you guys are still at it. 
I have been doing new product development for over 20 years and I know the difficulties there can be when bringing a new product to market. I look forward to hearing more about the "slightly different path". I have been pinning my hopes for 2-strokes on you guys

hi Sean,
i was wondering where the rev factory is located, so where is it? if it isn't built yet, do you think it would be worth purchasing cannondale?
