Can-Am now boasts the most race-ready 450
sport ATV line in the industry. All models
get power from a proven Rotax® engine.
And the ultra-light weight comes from cutting-edge
computer design and the most revolutionary
thinking in the sport ATV world.
46-inch Width - At 46
inches (1168 mm) wide, the DS450X XCis
the perfect width for the tight woods
courses cross-country racers love. With
forged aluminium upper and lower A-arms,
the X xc can precisely pick its way through
the trees.
Anti-Vibe Steering Stem - A
rubber-mounted +1 (25 mm) anti-vibe steering
stem comes standard on the DS 450X XC.
This gives the racer a better feel for
the ATV while in an attacking stance out
on the course. There is no need to buy
an aftermarket stem to be competitive.
Mounted to the steering stem is an aluminium
6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar with square
racing pad.
Caster-Adjustable Front End
- The front end of the DS 450
X xc comes with a shim-style caster adjustment.
Each shim represents one-degree of adjustment
with 3 degrees to 10 degrees of caster
adjustment. This allows the racer to completely
"dial in" the DS 450 X xc for
his or her preference.
Race-Bred Suspension -
The suspension, both front and rear, features
(piggyback up front and remote reservoir
for the rear) KYB HPG shocks with Kashima
coating. This high-performance shock coating
reduces internal friction and heat for
consistent shock performance (less stiction
and less fade). The shocks are fully adjustable
with high- and low-speed rebound and compression
damping, as well as preload adjustment.
Two separate-rate springs with a crossover
up front allow for maximum performance
in all conditions. Front travel is 9.6
inches (244 mm) while rear travel is 10.5
inches.(267 mm)
ITP Holeshot GNCC Tires &
ITP T-9 Wheels - The DS 450 X
xc features 20-inch (508 mm) rear ITP
Holeshot GNCC tires mounted on 10- inch
(254 mm) black, aluminum ITP T-9 beadlock
wheels. Up front, 21-inch
(533 mm) ITP Holeshot GNCC tires mounted
on 9-inch (229 mm) black, aluminum ITP
T-9 wheels with beadlock rings. The taller
lugs of the Holeshot GNCC provide superior
traction in demanding race conditions.
Aluminum Nerf Bars -
Straight from the factory, the DS 450
X xc comes complete with lightweight aluminium
nerf bars with alumin um heel guards.
Side extensions are adjustable to a variety
of customizable widths. If one desires,
the nerf bars and heel guards can be removed
with ease.
Adjustable-Wdth Axle - The
DS 450 X xc features a chromoly 4140 adjustable-width
hollow axle. Adjustment from 46 inches
(1168 mm) to 50 inches (1270 mm) is possible
with .5-inch (13 mm) spacers for rider
preference.
Cross-Country Specific Amenities
- Aluminum skid plates for the
frame and swingarm are standard on the
DS 450 X xc for added protection on demanding
courses. From the factory, the ride height
of the X xc is set at 7.5 inches (101
mm)(assuming a 175-pound (79 kg) rider
with gear), meaning exceptional cornering
performance for a lower centre of gravity.
Wind deflectors that feature a full-wrap
aluminum brace are mounted to the handlebars.
