Built around Can-Am's atv motorcycle platform, the 2010 Can-Am DS 70 utilizes a 69 cc (4.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 47.0 x 40.0 mm (1.9 x 1.6 inches).
On the scales, the DS 70 measures 111 kg (245 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 685 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,000 mm (39.4 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 6.06-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
