2012 Can-Am Outlander DS 450 X mx Review

We took our industry-first, all-aluminum frame and added features to inspire any motocross rider. Ready to race right out of the box, competitive advantage comes standard on the DS 450 X mx. Like Kashima-coated KYB HPG front and rear shocks. Or ITP QuadCross MX PRO tires on black aluminum ITP T-9 wheels. Aluminum nerf bars. A raised (+1in.) steering stem with anti-vibe mounts. The X mx was built from the lessons learned – and success achieved – from racing multiple pro series.

2012 Can-Am Outlander DS 450 X mx Key Features


- All the standard DS 450 features, PLUS:
- Rotax 4-TEC 450, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 4-stroke
- 5-speed manual transmission
- R-type forged aluminum double A-arm front suspension
- KYB HPG aluminum piggyback front shocks with compression, rebound and preload adjustments and 9.5 in. (241 mm) of travel

2012 Can-Am Outlander DS 450 X mx Features and Benefits


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.

+ 2-in. double A-arms with adjustable caster and camber give a 50-in. front stance

At 50-in. (1,270 mm) wide, the DS 450 X mx meets the recognized standard for motocross racing with its stock A-arms. Racers will not have to purchase expensive aftermarket A-arms to take the X mx to the track and be competitive.

Electric start

Push-button electric start for easy start

KYB HPG C40 front shocks
Kashima-coated KYB HPG C40 aluminum piggyback front shocks with dual-speed compression, rebound and preload adjustments and 10.7 in. (272 mm) of travel

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.

KYB HPG C46 rear shock
Kashima-coated KYB HPG C46 aluminum remote reservoir rear shock with dual-speed compression, rebound and preload adjustments, and 10.7 in.(272 mm) of travel

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

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.

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.

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.

Inverted front brake calipers
Inverted twin-piston front brake calipers offer impressive stopping power because of the larger brake discs (182 mm). By putting the caliper "inside" a peripheral brake disc, the diameter can be increased as close as possible to the inside of the wheel. This set-up allows for larger brake discs and improved stopping power and feel. Plus, the peripheral disc brake leaves room inside to push the lower A-arm ball-joint deep inside the wheel.

20x6-10 ITP QuadCross MX PRO front tires
High-performance ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires give maximized traction on track surfaces, especially for blue-grooved. Up front, 20-inch (508 mm) ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires mounted on 10-inch (254 mm) black, aluminum ITP T-9 wheels.

18x10-8 ITP QuadCross MX PRO rear tires
High-performance ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires give maximized traction on track surfaces, especially for blue-grooved. The rear tires are 18-inch motocross-ready tires complete with 8-inch (203 mm) black, aluminum ITP T-9 beadlock wheels with an inner reinforcement ring.

Black aluminum ITP 10x5 T-9 GP front wheels
Black aluminum ITP 8x8 T-9 Trac-lock rear wheels

Extra-strength extended 1-in. (25.4 mm) steering stem with anti-vibe mounts
A +1-inch (25 mm) extra-strength steering stem with anti-vibe mounts comes standard on the DS 450 X xc and the DS 450 X mx. This gives the racer a better feel for the ATV while in an attacking stance out on the course. There is no need to buy an aftermarket stem to be competitive. Mounted to the steering stem is an aluminum 6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar with square racing pad.

Aluminum nerf bars with removable netted heel guards
Straight from the factory, the DS 450 X mx comes complete with lightweight aluminum nerf bars with netted heel guards. If one desires, the nerf bars, side extensions and heel guards can be removed with ease.

Aluminum taper-profile handlebar with square pad
Aluminum front bumper, number plate ready

2012 Can-Am Outlander DS 450 X xc Review

In developing the DS 450, we truly reinvented how a sport quad is built. With the industry’s first no-weld all-aluminum frame, hollow rear axle and inverted brake calipers. We then pushed the concept even further with two terrain-specific X models. The tight-woods racing DS 450 X xc and motocross-inspired DS 450 X mx. Both are equipped with industry-leading features and are ready to race right out of the box. You can read on. But eventually, you’re just going to have to ride one.

Our tight-woods racing sport quad features the industry’s first all-aluminum frame, plus an array of features that’ll keep you flashing through the trees on the ITP Holeshot GNCC tires. The DS 450 X xc is ready out of the box with ITP beadlock wheels, aluminum nerf bars and aluminum skid plate. And the aluminum front bumper is ready for your number plate. Because you need to remind people who’s the rider on the machine that’s blowing everyone away.

2011 Yamaha Grizzly 550 FI 4x4 EPS Special Edition

Featuring a 558cc fuel-injected 4-stroke engine, Yamaha's EPS, Ultramatic Transmission, On-Command 4WD, 4-disk brakes and Yamaha's unbeatable reliability and durability.

Meet the Grizzly 550. Its powerful 558cc, 4-stroke engine with fuel injection delivers plenty of power, and makes cold starting a breeze.

The long-travel four-wheel independent suspension serves up awesome ground clearance to get up over and around the gnarliest terrain. While the bush button On-Command system will have you in complete control, simply select the 2WD, limited-slip 4WD or Diff-Lock 4WD to suit the terrain. Yamaha's Electronic Power Steering, Ultramatic Transmission and disc brakes at every wheel round out this awesome middleweight ATV, without breaking the bank.

Highlights
- Excellent Power-to-Weight Ratio
- Electric Power Steering
- Electronic Fuel Injection

Key Features:

Mid-Sized Fuel Injected Engine
At the heart of this bear lays a proven 558cc, fuel-injected, 4-stroke engine, making it one of the most powerful middleweight ATVs on the market. Fuel injection serves up crisp throttle response and adjusts automatically to match temperature and elevation changes.

Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
You've all heard of EPS over the last few years. But what does it mean for you as a rider? EPS does a few things, including dramatically reducing steering effort, even in 4WD, enhancing rider confidence and ease of operation. It also isolates the rider from external forces acting on the front wheels. This will enable you to worry less about the terrain so you can focus on enjoying the ride. Yamaha's EPS is also speed and torque sensitive, which means there is more assist at low speeds when you need it, and less assist at higher speeds to help optimize handling and stability.

Excellent Power to Weight Ratio
This bear packs less weight over its competition which gives it an added edge in the power-to-weight ratio category. Less weight translates into better handling, improved acceleration when climbing those steep hills and better traction during mud prowess.

Ultramatic Transmission
Revolutionary Ultramatic fully automatic transmission features true engine braking at each wheel while in 4WD. Dual-range with reverse and low range has approximately 1.5 times the pulling power of high range.


On-Command 4WD
Push-button servo-controlled On-Command system allows you to switch between 2WD, limited-slip 4WD and fully locked differential 4WD - all with the simple push of a dash mounted button. Real 4-wheel drive when you need it. With Diff-lock engaged, you have traction to all 4 wheels immediately. This puts you in total control, you decide when you need 4 wheel drive - the machine doesn't decide for you.

4-Wheel Disc Brakes
Slowing your big-bore ATV down shouldn't involve standing on the brake pedal while squeezing the lever with all your might. 4-wheel disc brakes combined with full-time engine braking means slowing this Grizzly down requires less effort. And since the front and rear brakes can be operated independently, you have more control over how you brake depending on the situation.

Mass Centralization
The weight of a full tank of fuel can throw off your centre of gravity, so we located the tank under the seat and positioned the air box up high. This lowers the centre of gravity improving handling, stability and hill climbing capability. The raised air box also reduces the chance of water and debris from getting into the engine.

V-Belt Ducting
High mounted air box, V-belt intake and exhaust ducts, reduce the opportunity for water and debris to enter the V-Belt housing.

Reverse Mounted Rear Suspension
The wheel center does not change but allows for a shorter frame which improves approach/departure angles, and allows the use of stronger ball joints (more clearance).

Additional Features

" Aluminum cylinder with ceramic composite plating for improved durability
" Roller bearing rocker arms for reduced friction and improved engine performance
" Forged piston and carburized Chrome-Moly connecting rod for improved durability
" Airbox design has centrifugal debris trap to improve air flow
" Flat type foam air filter for easy cleaning
" Straight drive shaft layout for reduced vibration and improved durability
" Gull-wing front a-arms for improved ground clearance
" Polyethylene ball joint boots, front and rear
" Air cushion seat to provide comfort on those long rides
" Floorboard with large holes for mud evacuation, and special rugs to avoid buildup from underneath
" Water resistant storage
" Centralize wiring layout, positioned for improved protection against the elements
" LCD Gauge includes Odometer, Trip 1, Trip 2, Clock, Fuel gauge and Gear position
" Warning indicators: Engine, Water Temp., Reverse, Neutral, Parking, High Range, Low Range and LCD Drive / Differential Lock map
" 35W Halogen headlight bulbs
" Neodymium hi-power magnet for improved output, charging capacity and light weight
" Oil fed stator for improved cooling and reliability
" Forged Aluminum steering knuckle
" Gate type transmission shifter for improved shift feel
" Cartridge type oil filter located to the front of the engine for improved cooling and simplified maintenance
