2013 Can-Am DS 450 Xmx Features and Benefits
Class-leading power-to-weight ratio of any 450-class sport ATV – The DS 450 features an innovative, no-weld ALTEC™ aluminum frame and a hearty Rotax® engine for the industry’s best power-to-weight ratio of any 450-class sport ATV. Combined those features with other weight-saving innovations (hollow rear axle, aluminum parts) and mass centralization engineering to reduce unsprung weight and the DS 450 is unmatched in its class.
EFI with 46-mm throttle body, 16-bit CPU with 32-MHz clock speed
5-speed manual transmission – Competition-ready 5-speed manual transmission with foot-shifter and manual clutch lever. Features heavy-duty clutch and 9 friction plates with DirectLink mechanism.
Electric start – Push-button electric start for easy start
45.3-hp Rotax 4-TEC 449cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke engine – The DS 450 is equipped with a 449 cc 4-stroke EFI Rotax engine, offers the largest bore (97 mm) and the largest intake valves (38 mm) from the DOHC 4-valve head with 97 x 60.8 mm bore and stroke. The EFI uses the largest throttle body (46 mm), 16-bit CPU with 32-MHz clock speed and an almost straight intake path. With a concept referred to as ”Durchzugskraft” or flow dynamics optimization, the engine breathes easily and can produce more power. The DS 450 delivers the best power-to-weight ratio.
WIllwood hydraulic disc brakes – Mounted inside front rotors, the DS 450’s exclusive inverted dual-piston calipers allow for a unique knuckle / spindle / A-arm design. Computer-designed, wave-type front-and-rear rotors offer exceptional cooling and enhance all-around Precision-engineered handling.
R-Type cast aluminum swingarm rear suspension – Features Chromoly hollow rear axle, extended-reach aluminum wheel hubs, aluminum sprocket, cast-aluminum swingarm. For the lowest possible unsprung weight and the most mass centralization.
No weld, ALTEC twin pyramidal aluminum frame – A maximum strength, no-weld, all-aluminum frame that uses a twin pyramidal structure. Major components are firmly secured with aluminum fasteners called lock-bolts. The frame is stronger yet much lighter than a traditional ladder frame.
Hollow rear axle – The hollow, high-strenght steel axle has been shortened by extending the lenght of aluminum hubs. The final design: a shorter axle mated with “spyder” all-aluminum hubs with precision machined splines and longer arms. The rear unsprung weight of the DS 450 is therefore reduced, which also has a significant impact on mass centralization and dry weight.
Detachable headlights – Remove the headlights for racing.
Race-inspired radiator grill – Race-inspired radiator grill (MC)
31.5-in. (800 mm) seat height – Low seat height provides a lower center of gravity and race-ready positioning for aggressive riding.
Racing kick-up foot pegs with heel guards – Wide foot pegs with kick ups and integrated heel guards offer riders superb footing and protection.
18×10-8 ITP QuadCross MX PRO rear tires – High-Industry-leading performance ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires give maximized traction on track surfaces, especially for blue-grooved.

Adjustable-width hollow rear axle from 46 in. [1.17 m] to 50 in. [1.27 m] by increments of 0.5 in. [12.7 mm] per spacer – Many of top motocross pros are choosing to race with a rear width that is slightly narrower than the front-end width. This is possible with the DS 450 X mx Chromoly 4140 adjustable-width hollow axle. Adjustment from 46 (1,168 mm) to 50 inches (1,270 mm) is possible with 0.5-inch (13 mm) spacers.
Black aluminum ITP 10×5 T-9 GP front wheels
7-in. (179 mm) factory-set ride height (175-lb rider) – Straight from the factory, the DS 450 X mx is prepped with a ride height of seven inches (178 mm). This height, along with the ATV being “dialed in” for a 175-pound rider (with gear), gives the DS 450 X mx a lower center of gravity and allows you to rail through the corners with confidence.
