Can Am DS 450 EFI

Can-Am Quads are race ready right out of the box! The Can-Am 450 quad is ready to hit the track or trails, no questions asked! Last year, the DS 450 and the DS 450 X were introduced, each offering the lowest weight, lowest unsprung weight, most power and most mass centralization.

This year, Can-Am has refined the X concept even further with two new terrain-specific models – the 50″ wide DS 450 X mx and the tight-wood racing DS 450 X xc. Both offer the same industry-leading attributes for Can-Am Quads. Both are ready to race right out of the box. And together they give you the opportunity to ride the way you want to ride.

“By releasing the DS 450 X mx and xc, we redefine the factory and amateur ATV racer relationship,” says Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, Can-Am division. “The DS 450 continues to evolve and the base model was the perfect starting point for the two most race-ready sport packages in the industry.”

Here are all 3 Can-Am DS 450 EFI Quad Models and Specifications..

The Can-Am 450 EFI quad is equipped with a 449cc 4-stroke EFI Rotax engine that offers the largest bore (97 mm), the largest intake valves,and an almost striaght intake path. The clutch and transmission are designed for off-road riding.

The lightweight design dramatically reduces unsprung weight for quick response, exceptional traction capability and less rider fatigue, according to Can-Am. MSRP $7,499 USD
