2008 Can Am DS 450

 
     
 
From The Manufacturer:

Creating a sport ATV with the lowest weight, lowest unsprung weight, most mass centralization and the highest power challenged the Can-Am engineering teams in 2001. It was a no compromise approach that forced them to push the envelop, totally reinventing everything, from the frame and the engine, to the front and rear suspension systems. Six years later, the four challenges are mastered… Meet the all-new, race inspired Can-Am DS 450TM!

Price (MSRP): $7,499.00 USD

The DS 450 is the new benchmark for performance, handling and control - on track and off - thanks to the most power in the class, lowest weight, most centralized mass, lowest unsprung weight, and fully-adjustable sport-tuned suspension.

  • Responsive and easy to maneuver, thanks to centralized masses and unmatched power-to-weight ratio
  • At 345 pounds (156 kg) dry, it is the lightest 450 sport ATV
  • New Rotax 450 engine is the most powerful, 9% more HP than the best-in-class competitor
  • Lightweight ALTECTM aluminum chassis with dual-pyramidal frame - 13% lighter than the best-in-class competitor
  • Innovative R-TypeTM front and rear suspensions deliver handling, control, and feel
  • KYB‡ HPG aluminum body piggyback shocks with full adjustability
  • Wilwood disc brakes: 182mm wave-type discs with inverted twin-piston calipers in front, 198mm wave-type disc in rear
  • Extra features like racing kick-up footpegs, detachable headlights, interchangeable fenders

ATV(four-wheeler) and motorcycle (dirt bike) riding is inherently dangerous. Proper research should be done before deciding to enter the sport, and afterwards before each ride. Riding classes or instruction is recommended for the beginner rider. Always read the owners manual after buying a new vehicle. All protective gear including but not limited to a helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, chest protector, shin and elbow guards, ect. should be worn. Extreme riding such as stunt riding or riding and high speeds is considered very dangerous and is not tolerated on our property. Always be extremely careful when riding in an unknown area. All manufacture warnings should be followed, such as age limit, double-riding, stunt riding, road use, ect. Operating any off-road vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol is extremely dangerous to yourself and others and should never be done (this is prohibited at The Ridge Riding Park). When riding your ATV or dirtbike always stay on approved trails. Only ride in approved areas, and get permission before riding on private lands. Keep your riding area clean and respect the environment. Obey all laws regarding riding and the riding area.
