Engineered by Can-Am for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2010 Can-Am DS 450 EFI X xc utilizes a 449.3 cc (27.4 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. 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 xc measures 158 kg (348 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, combined with a 1,267 mm (49.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry.
