Engineered to respond well in extreme situations and deliver better performance in hard riding conditions, the 2008 Can-Am DS 450 X XC sports nifty upgrades from the base model. KYB HPG C36 and C40 piggyback reservoir shocks offer adjustability and top-level damping on the harshest surfaces, with a width-adjustable hollow rear axle for less unsprung weight and provide with multiple setup possibilities.
The cast aluminium wheels sport the TrackLock beadlock systemm and are shod with top-notch ITP Holeshot 6-ply tires for a great grip on various types of terrain, while sturdy aluminium skid plates shield both the underbelly and swingarms. Add in handlebar deflectors, anti-vibe mounts for the steering stem and upgraded graphics: the 2008 Can-Am DS 450 X XC has everything the other models in the series have, but with so much more.
