Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, May 25, 2001 - OPTIMUM Power Technology and Cannondale have announced that the two companies are working together to develop advanced fuel injection technologies. The partnership is a perfect alliance, according to Cannondale director Scott Montgomery. "Cannondale makes innovative, high-performance, fuel-injected motorcycles and ATVs, and OPTIMUM has a proven track record with state-of-the-art fuel-injection hardware and software," said Montgomery. Adam Green, Vice-President of Sales for OPTIMUM, agreed. "Cannondale's MX400 and FX400 have already been recognized for their pioneering features, and the company's leadership with electronic fuel-injection is sure to be emulated by their rivals," said Green. "We're looking forward to helping Cannondale stay ahead of the competition, by working together to take their fuel-injection systems to even higher levels of performance." Cannondale is the world's premier manufacturer of high-performance bicycles. The company officially entered the motorsports industry in May of last year when they began shipping their MX400 motorcycle. The company expanded its offerings in February when it began production of its FX400 ATV. Both products feature lightweight aluminum frames, and both utilize a fuel-injected, electric-start engine with a one-piece crankcase, cassette transmission, separate engine and clutch oils, and a reversed cylinder head with dual overhead-cams. OPTIMUM manufactures the GP Control® system, a state-of-the-art software and hardware fuel injection engine management system that allows dealers, teams, racers and riders to have full control over engine performance. Borne out of OPTIMUM's heritage in Grand Prix racing, GP Control has proven itself in this most competitive class of world championship racing. Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
