Overview

Introducing the 2010 Can-Am DS 90, the perfect entry-level ATV designed for young riders and those new to the thrilling world of off-road adventures. Priced at a competitive $2,499, the DS 90 offers a fantastic blend of performance, safety, and fun, making it an ideal choice for families looking to introduce the next generation to the excitement of outdoor exploration. With its compact design and vibrant color options—yellow and black—this ATV doesn’t just deliver functionality; it captures the attention of riders and onlookers alike. At the heart of the DS 90 is a dependable single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that displaces 89.50 ccm (5.46 cubic inches). Engineered for reliability and ease of use, this compact powerplant uses a carburettor fuel system from Keihin, ensuring smooth throttle response and efficient power delivery. The air-cooled design keeps the engine running optimally, while the automatic gearbox allows riders to focus on the ride rather than shifting gears. With features like forward, neutral, and reverse capabilities, navigating tight trails becomes a breeze, and the lightweight frame—just 111.1 kg (245 pounds)—enhances maneuverability, making it easy for young riders to control their ATV with confidence. The 2010 Can-Am DS 90 is packed with features that cater to both novices and experienced riders alike. The independent A-arm front suspension and swingarm rear suspension work harmoniously to absorb bumps and enhance ride comfort, while the double drum brakes provide reliable stopping power for added safety. With a ground clearance of 211 mm (8.3 inches), this ATV is built to tackle rough terrain effortlessly. Additional perks include both electric and kick-start options, ensuring that riders can easily get going, and a fuel capacity of 6.05 liters (1.60 gallons) that allows for longer rides without frequent refueling. Whether you’re looking to teach a young adventurer the joys of riding or simply want a reliable, compact ATV for casual outings, the 2010 Can-Am DS 90 stands out as an excellent choice within its segment. With its perfect blend of functionality, safety, and style, this ATV is ready to take on your next off-road journey.
