Features

CTV

  • TORQUE ON DEMAND: Shift-less automatic CVT - The Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) keeps riders in the right gear. With forward-neutral-reverse capability, it keeps kids from worrying about shifting, or hopping off the vehicle to engage reverse.

Features

  • A REAL START: Safety features - Electric start, built-in speed limiter options & confidence-inspiring handling to properly introduce off-roading.
  • FIRST CAN-AM: Quality design - Attitude lifted from our adult machines & available X package (performance shocks, brakes, exhaust) for aspiring racers.

Innovative Suspension

  • INNOVATIVE SUSPENSION SETUP: Independent A-Arm front suspension - For a stable, comfortable ride that's geared toward safe and engaging rides, the DS features a long travel, A-Arm front suspension inspired by our larger adult-sized ATV lineup.

Leading Engine

  • LEADING ENGINE TECHNOLOGY: Durable, engaging engines - Getting started on a DS couldn't be easier, with 4-stroke engines featuring an electric starter, shift-less CVT transmission, and speed limiter—your little ones can give all of their focus to the trail ahead.

Rider Control

  • COMPLETE RIDER CONTROL: Standard throttle limiter - With a built-in throttle limiter, keep your child's speed under control as their experience, confidence, and abilities begin to grow.

Tech That Counts

  • TECH THAT COUNTS: Electric starter with backup kick-start - Your kids can either hop on & go thanks to a convenient push-button electric start, or fire the engine up themselves using a traditional, backup kick-start.
