Built around Can-Am's atv motorcycle platform, the 2010 Can-Am DS 450 EFI X mx pairs a 449.3 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 97.0 x 60.8 mm (3.8 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the DS 450 EFI X mx measures 156.5 kg (345 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 838 mm (33 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 11.35-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
