Built around CCM's trial motorcycle platform, the 2009 CCM 404 DS Trail pairs a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW). With a specific output of 100.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the 404 DS Trail measures 128 kg (282 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.31 HP/kg (3.2 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 800 mm (31.5 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance. The 12-liter (3.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
