DS450 New R-Type Forged Upper & Low A-arms
with inverted dual-piston caliper, which is located
on the inside of the disc |
The R-type geometry of the front end means the kingpin
axis is tucked into the wheel as far as possible to
all but eliminate wheel scrub on the DS 450. The attack
angle of the front end is 14 degrees allowing a rider
to attack bumps with less fatigue. There are too many
details to list, but the reveal Web site has them all.
The DS 450 engineer team worked hard to meet the four
challenges from company President and CEO José
Boisjoli, when he said the DS 450 had to have the lightest
weight, lowest unsprung weight, most mass centralization,
and highest power at the time of its release. With its
high-tech aluminum frame and now, unprecedented front
end, the DS 450 is shaping up to be quite the sport
ATV.

machine will be revealed, keep checking and spread the
word.
