At the heart of the 2009 Can-Am DS 90 atv motorcycle, Can-Am relies on a 89.5 cc (5.5 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 49.5 x 48.0 mm (1.9 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the DS 90 measures 111.1 kg (245 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 686 mm (27 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops. The 6.05-liter (1.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
