• +1 (25 mm) anti-vibe steering stem
• Aluminium skid plates

• 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.
• NEW 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.
