Positioned in CCM's trial motorcycle lineup, the 2008 CCM 450DS Trail utilizes a 443 cc (27 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. 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 450DS 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 830 mm (32.7 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
