Can-Am™ announced today the release

Can-Am now boasts the most race-ready 450
sport ATV line in the industry. All models

It is still the benchmark for performance,
handling and control – on the track
and on the trail – thanks to the Rotax
power, low weight, centralized mass, low
unsprung weight, and fully-adjustable sport-tuned
suspension.
“By releasing the DS 450 X mx and
xc, we redefine the factory and amateur
ATV racer relationship,” said Yves
Leduc, Vice-President and General Manager,
Can-Am Division. "The DS 450 continues
to evolve and the base model was the perfect
starting point for the two most race-ready
sport packages in the industry.”
