DS 450 X mx EFI Key Features
50-inch width - At 50 inches (1270 mm) wide, the DS 450 X mx meets the recognized standard for motocross racing with its stock +2 (51 mm) A-arms. Racers will not have to purchase expensive aftermarket A-arms to take the X mx to the track and be competitive.
Anti-vibe steering stem - A +1-inch (25 mm) extra-strength steering stem with anti-vibe mounts comes standard on the DS 450 X mx. This gives the racer a better feel for the ATV while out on the track in a racing stance. Again, 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.
Camber- and caster-adjustable front end - The front end of the DS 450 X mx is completely adjustable with a shim-style adjustment. Each shim represents one-degree of adjustment with camber adjustable from 11 degrees to 15 degrees; caster is adjustable from 3 degrees to 10 degrees. This allows the racer to completely "dial in" the DS 450 X mx for his or her preference.
Race-bred suspension - The suspension, both front and rear, features(piggyback up front and remote reservoir for the rear) KYB HPG shocks with Kashima coating. This high-performance shock coating reduces internal friction and heat for consistent shock performance (less stiction and less fade). The shocks are fully adjustable with high- and low-speed rebound and compression damping, as well as preload adjustment. Two separate-rate springs with a crossover up front allow for maximum performance in all conditions. Front and rear travel is 10.7 inches (272 mm).
ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires and ITP T-9 wheels - High-performance ITP Quadcross MX Pro tires give the DS 450 X mx maximized traction on a variety of track surfaces, but especially for blue-grooved tracks. 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. Up front, 20-inch (508 mm) ITP Quadcross MX Pro tires mounted on 10-inch (254 mm) black, aluminum ITP T-9 wheels give the DS 450 X mx precise cornering ability with decreased lateral roll.
Aluminum nerf bars - In order to race motocross at any level, nerf bars are a requirement. Straight from the factory, the DS 450 X mx comes complete with lightweight aluminum nerf bars with aluminum heel guards. If one desires, the nerf bars, heel guards and side extensions can be removed with ease.
Adjustable-width axle - Many of today's 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 thanks to a chromoly 4140 adjustable-width hollow axle. Adjustment from 46 (1168 mm) to 50 inches (1270 mm) is possible with .5-inch (13 mm) spacers.
Motocross-specific amenities - The DS 450 X mx comes complete with a tether engine-shut-off switch that is a requirement at any level of motocross racing. From the factory, the ride height of the X mx is set at seven inches (178 mm) (assuming a 175-pound rider (79 kg) with gear), meaning exceptional cornering performance for a lower centre of gravity.
