Engineered by CCM for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2012 CCM LX500 utilizes a 471 cc (28.7 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 84.5 x 84.0 mm (3.3 x 3.3 inches) with a 8.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the LX500 measures 267 kg (589 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 880 mm (34.6 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,260 mm (49.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20-liter (5.3 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
