Haha, you have 50lbs on me. The XL got the heaviest suspension ratings, the manuals say for the 200-220 lb range, they don't go higher. You might look at some of the forums (mtbr, for instance) to see how the clydesdales are fairing with the model. As far as breakage, not a real issue I think, but as far as suspension performance, well, I don't know how many suspension manuals will list adjustments for 250lbs.
The Cannondale website used to archive the specs pages of all older models, but I can't find it at the moment. Most of the manuals and setup guides are there.
Here are some reviews:
