Built around Can-Am's atv motorcycle platform, the 2014 Can-Am DS 90 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 113 kg (249 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 991 mm (39 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 686 mm (27 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.
