At the heart of the 2009 CCM 450 DS Supermoto super motard motorcycle, CCM relies on a 443 cc (27 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 40 HP (29.2 kW), transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 90.3 HP per liter, the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the 450 DS Supermoto 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.
