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.
NEW Graphics
Package - The 2010 DS 450 X mx
comes with an updated yellow and black
graphics package. The package adds more
yellow accents to the classic X Package
black scheme.
50-inch Width - At
50 inches (1270 mm) wide, the DS450 X
mx meets the recognized standard for motocross
racing with its stock +2 (51 mm) A-arms.
Racers will not have to purchase expensive
aftermarket A-arms to take the X mx to
the track and be competitive.
Anti-Vibe Steering Stem -
A rubber-mounted +1 (25 mm) anti-vibe
steering stem comes standard on the DS450
X mx. This gives the racer a better feel
for the ATV while out on the track in
a racing stance. Again, there is no need
to buy an aftermarket stem to be competitive.
Mounted to the steering stem is an aluminum
6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar with square
racing pad.
Camber & Caster Adjustable
Front End - The front end of
the DS 450 X mx is completely adjustable
with a shim-style adjustment. Each shim
represents one-degree of adjustment with
camber adjustable from 11 degrees to 15
degrees; caster is adjustable from 3 degrees
to 10 degrees. This allows the racer to
completely "dial in" the DS
450 X mx 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 and rear travel
is 10.7 inches (272 mm).
ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires
and ITP T-9 wheels - High-performance
ITP Quadcross MX Pro tires give the DS
450 X mx maximized traction on a variety
of track surfaces, but especially for
blue-grooved tracks. The rear tires are
18-inch motocross-ready tires complete
with 8-inch (203 mm) black, aluminum ITP
T-9 beadlock wheels with an inner reinforcement
ring. Up front, 20-inch (508 mm) ITP Quadcross
MX Pro tires mounted on 10-inch (254 mm)
black, aluminum ITP T-9 wheels give the
DS 450 X mx precise cornering ability
with decreased lateral roll.
NEW Aluminum
Nerf Bars - In order to race
motocross at any level, nerf bars are
a requirement. Straight from the factory,
the DS 450 X mx comes complete with lightweight
aluminum nerf bars with netted heel guards.
Side extensions are adjustable to a variety
of customizable widths. If one desires,
the nerf bars and netted heel guards can
be removed with ease.
Adjustable-Width Axle - Many
of today's top motocross pros are choosing
to race with a rear width that is slightly
narrower than the front-end width. This
is possible with the DS 450 X mx thanks
to a chromoly 4140 adjustable-width hollow
axle. Adjustment from 46 (1168 mm) to
50 inches (1270 mm) is possible with .5-inch
(13 mm) spacers.
Motocross-Specific Ride Height-
The DS 450 X mx comes from the
factory with a ride height of seven inches
(178 mm) (assuming a 175-pound rider (79
kg) with gear), meaning exceptional cornering
performance for a lower centre of gravity.
