| 50-inch width
The DS 450 X mx is purpose built with the ATV motocross racer in mind and saves buyers the hassle of having to purchase
aftermarket A-arms. It measures 50 inches (1270 mm) wide thanks to its +2 (51 mm) A-arms, which come stock. It comes out
of box with built-in control and stability to enhance the racing experience.
Camber-and caster-adjustable front end
Can-Am engineers added a shim-style camber and caster-adjustable front end on the DS 405 X mx to help riders “dial in” the
machine for motocross. Each shim represents one-degree of adjustment. Camber is adjustable from 11 degrees to 15 degrees,
while caster is adjustable from 3 degrees to 10 degrees. Ultimate handling and superior control are now literally in the hands
of the riders.
FOX Float X EVOL front shocks
A fully adjustable and tunable FOX suspension system is found on the 2014 DS 450 X mx. New up front are the FOX Float X EVOL
(Gen 2) piggyback shocks. The front Float EVOL shocks are adjustable for Dual Speed Compression, rebound and feature an
infinitely adjustable dual air spring that controls both ride height and bottom-out. They also receive chrome silicone negative
spring, a progressive spring rate and piggyback reservoir. The air spring saves up to 6 pounds per shocks vs. spring coil. The
no-tools EVOL shocks are simple to adjust and require no tools.
FOX Podium X piggyback shock
The back end of the Can-Am wears the proven FOX Podium X piggyback shock. The hard-anodized 6061-T6-aluminum Podium
X shock features DLC-coated shaft for reduced friction and chrome silicon dual and single springs. The race-proven shock also
offers adjustments for high- and low-speed compression (dual speed), rebound damping and spring preload.
10.7 inches (272 mm) of suspension travel
The FOX suspension, frame and chassis componentry combine to offer 10.7 inches of suspension travel, meaning the DS 450 X
mx can take on any motocross course you throw at it.
Motocross-specific ride height
Ride height can make the world of difference in motocross racing. Straight from the factory, the DS 450 X mx is prepped with a
ride height of seven inches (178 mm). This height, along with the ATV being “dialed in” for a 175-pound rider (with gear), gives
the DS 450 X mx a lower center of gravity and allows you to rail through the corners with confidence.
Adjustable-width axle
With four inches of total adjustment for width, the chromoly 4140 axle found in the DS 450 X mx is made for motocross. The
strong-but-lightweight (hollow) rear axle adjusts from 46 (1168 mm) to 50 inches (1270 mm) with .5-inch (13 mm) spacers and
enables riders to set up the Can-Am for their preferred motocross width. +1 Anti-vibe steering stem
Motocross racers love being in control and often feel one with their ATV while competing on the track. The DS 450 X mx offers
quad racers a familiar setup and comfortable feel with a rubber-mounted anti-vibe steering stem. Combine the +1 (25 mm)
stem with the aftermarket-comparable aluminum 6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar and square bar pad and racers should enjoy
this race-ready cockpit.
ITP Quadcross MX Pro tires
The Can-Am DS 450 X mx is outfitted with an ideal tire-and-wheel setup for motocross. High-performance, 18-inch rear ITP
Quadcross MX Pro tires are more than capable of transferring power to ground and in a wide variety of soil conditions, from loam
to hard-pack dirt. Guiding the Can-Am through corners are 20-inch ITP Quadcross MX Pro tires.
ITP T-9 beadlock wheels
Both tires are mounted on ITP T-9 beadlock wheels, which boost handling and add to this machine’s precision cornering. The rear
8-inch beadlock wheel includes an inner reinforcement ring and it’s specially designed to handle the rigors of motocross racing.
Aluminum nerf bars
Straight from the factory, Can-Am has prepped the DS 450 X mx for you by adding lightweight aluminum nerf bars with netted
heel guards. The nerf bars are required for racing motocross and are built with you in mind. Adjustable side extensions let you
customize the width of the nerf bars and they can be easily removed if you so choose.
X-Team Graphics
The X mx, like the X xc, features a custom black-and-yellow Can-Am X-Team graphics package that completes its racing makeup.
