Overview

Introducing the 2014 Can-Am DS 450 X mx, a high-performance ATV finely engineered for enthusiasts who crave adrenaline and precision on the track. With a competitive price tag of $9,799, this machine is designed to dominate motocross racing while providing a thrilling experience for riders of all skill levels. Its lightweight aluminum frame and aggressive stance make it a formidable competitor, embodying Can-Am's commitment to power, performance, and cutting-edge technology. At the heart of the DS 450 X mx lies a robust 449.3cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine. This powerhouse is capable of delivering impressive torque and acceleration thanks to its advanced fuel injection system, featuring a 46 mm throttle body managed by a sophisticated 16-bit, 32 MHz CPU. Riders will appreciate the 5-speed gearbox that provides smooth shifts, complemented by a heavy-duty clutch designed with nine friction plates and a DirectLink mechanism for seamless power transfer. With liquid cooling ensuring optimal performance, this ATV is engineered for both durability and responsiveness, offering an exhilarating ride across various terrains. The design of the DS 450 X mx places a strong emphasis on handling and control. The ALTEC dual-pyramidal aluminum frame is not only lightweight but also rigid, enhancing stability during aggressive cornering. The front suspension utilizes KYB dagger technology with forged-aluminum double A-arms, providing an impressive front travel of 241 mm (9.5 inches) for absorbing bumps effortlessly. Meanwhile, the rear suspension features a cast-aluminum swingarm paired with a Chromoly hollow rear axle, allowing 256 mm (10.1 inches) of travel for maximum traction and comfort. With powerful braking systems—double discs at the front and a single disc at the rear—riders can confidently manage their speed on the track. **

Pros

  • Exceptional Performance: The powerful engine and advanced fuel injection system deliver thrilling acceleration and responsive handling, perfect for motocross enthusiasts.
  • Lightweight and Agile: The aluminum frame and thoughtful design contribute to a lighter overall weight, enhancing maneuverability and rider confidence in tight turns.
  • Advanced Suspension System: The KYB suspension components provide excellent travel and shock absorption, ensuring a smooth ride over rugged terrain.

Cons

  • Limited Warranty: The 6-month limited warranty may be shorter than some competitors, which could be a concern for long-term reliability.
  • Height Consideration: With a seat height of 838 mm (33.0 inches), it may not be the best fit for shorter riders, potentially affecting comfort and control.
  • Fuel Capacity: At just 11.36 liters (3.00 gallons), the fuel tank may require more frequent refueling during extended rides, which could interrupt the adventure.
