2014 Can-Am DS 450 X xc Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Positioned in Can-Am's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Can-Am DS 450 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 X xc measures 158.3 kg (349 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 1,270 mm (50 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 11.36-liter (3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
