| Rotax 4-TEC 450 EFI engine
The Rotax four-stroke engine features the largest piston bore, intake valves and throttle body in its segment. The engine also
inherits its top end from the tried-and-true Rotax V990 mill found in the Aprilia RSV 1000 R sport bike and mates that with a
crankcase, clutch and transmission that are specially produced for off-road performance and use in an ATV. A free-flow design and
electronic fuel injection means impressive power is blended with precision throttle control and instantaneous throttle response. No
matter the temperature, altitude or riding situation, the DS 450 has the inherent ability to transfer power the ground at every rpm.
ALTEC aluminum frame
Outfitted with the industry’s only lock-bolt fastening system instead of welds, the aerospace-grade aluminum chassis is as strong
as it is lightweight and innovative. The frame’s dual-pyramidal construction — a design proven on BRP’s Ski-Doo®
REV™ and REV-XP™ platforms — was created by computer-optimized technology to offer weight savings without sacrificing
durability.
Race-inspired radiator grill
Incorporating valuable feedback from its real-world racing development program, Can-Am engineers scalloped the radiator to
make it more resistant to mud and debris buildup.
Wilwood braking systems
Mounted inside front rotors, the DS 450’s exclusive inverted dual-piston calipers allow for a unique knuckle / spindle / A-arm
design. Computer-designed, wave-type front-and-rear rotors offer exceptional cooling and enhance all-around handling.
Performance ergonomics
Ergonomically enhanced with a narrow midsection, performance-type seat and smooth transitions, the DS 450 is built to please
sport enthusiasts with an active riding style. Wide foot pegs with kick ups and integrated heel guards offer riders superb footing
and protection.
Performance features
Equipped with conveniently detachable headlights and interchangeable front fenders. |
