BRP remains focused on powersports enthusiasts with its 2008 Can-Am ATVs

Powered by the completely new Rotax® 4-TEC® 450cc engine, the Can-Am DS 450™ EFI model is no exception to BRP's reputation of taking a fresh approach when entering new market segments. From the front suspension to the rear axle, innovations are everywhere. Not the least of which is its advanced Altec aluminum frame, making the DS 450 the lightest 450cc sport ATV in its class.
