ATV on Demand Test, 2009 Can-Am DS450 X MX and XC Test

I wanna ride one. :)

yeah but idc how nice these bikes are getting. i have been riding honda since i was 5, and they have done nothing but good things for me.

yeah until you ride one lol ;) pros are changing left and right to can am or polaris because of their factory support programs. john natalie and doug eichner are prime examples.

true. i like my honda more then both of them haha

yeah but the can am doesn't have reverse...hmmmmm 2k for reverse? i'll probably go with can am, depending on ktm's racer support program though...

yeah, and the canam is almost 2K cheaper. for the money id take the canam, but if mnoney wasnt a factor, id def take the ktm

actually they changed the suspension for 09 and the DS is corked up, it just needs a filter and pipe and it wakes it right up. and of course it would have more power it's a 505 the DS is a 450.

ktm xc has alot more power, and better suspension. canam has no bottom end which is a nessity for trails

i love the xc, just throw those nerfs away and get me some fat pegs and im ready

I'm torn between the X-XC and the KTM XC. Reverse would be nice on the DS, but then again Can-Am has a great rider support system.

The only thing the ds' are missin are steering stabilizers. ;)

For the dunes I doubt you could go wrong by purchasing the mx model due to its extra width. It would be much better for side hilling and its suspension is setup for jumping.

which one you think is better for jumping in the dunes? MX or XC? I ask this because of the forged aluminum and chromoly A-arms

Hope to have an X-MX this winter. =]

nice

woot 1st viewer can I has a cookie?
