These quads were first sold under the company name of Bombardier. Then they were sold as "BRP" which stood for Bombardier Recreational Products. Finally the name was changed to Can Am which was the name of their MX bikes back in the 1970's. I seem to remember the the "DS" stood for Dune Sport when these first came out.

For wide open dirt road riding, this is hands down my favorite sport atv. Yes, rev limiter comes a bit too quick on the OEM cdi box, big gun or Ron Woods rev box makes it a whole new animal - really widens the rpm range. This quad gets more criticism than it deserves. Most critics don’t like its size and weight on a track or tight woods riding which is a fair complaint, but that’s simply not what they were made to excel at. However, get this quad in a big open space such as long winding dirt logging roads and it handles and rides incredibly stable at high speeds. And the best part is my hands and feet aren’t numb like they are after riding a 450 at crazy high rpms all day on the same roads. The motor will also far outlast a 450 motor. There are bmw motorcycles with this engine that have well over 30k miles on stock internals. Find me a 450 motor that can go that distance without a rebuild - you won’t! My brand new 2012 yfz grenaded in a year riding it at high rpms on wide open dirt roads. My DS has been riding the same wide open dirt roads for over 2 decades without a rebuild. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the 450 bikes. Appreciate you giving it a fair review coming from a 450, most riders like to bash the DS.

I rode one of these 20 years ago at 15 years old. It was bored over among other things and had the loudest exhaust I've ever heard on a bike to this day. At 15 I was hooked. Hit 4th on a straight and that was the start to a speed addiction. I've looked for one ever since specifically in the orange color.

Hi Peter, i'm just curious, you don't use any body protection other than helmet and boots? Good video dude.
@PeteHager3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching! It would be nice to wear a neck or chest protector but everything I've worn interferes with my helmet cam location..
@yxiscatti3 жыл бұрын
@@PeteHager a chin mount will keep very similar point of view of your camera and will not interfere with the protection gear. See you on the next one! :D

The ds was nicknamed sand pig because it was built for the baja 1000 and dominated the dunes

Can you give us your gopro mike setup because mine a go pro9 and the audio when I talk is horrible
@PeteHager3 жыл бұрын
I use hero7's but the hero9 is supposed to be a pretty awesome camera. I do a lot of audio work to balance sound levels like dropping my voice volume when I'm talking and riding. The purple panda microphone I use has been pretty reliable. It's just important to keep them from getting wet. The first 5 minutes of this video shares the set up 👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYjFlJ6YYpyHh68

The TRX platform has tons of aftermarket available. I browse a lot of the facebook quad groups for information. Theres a lot of builders sharing information and set ups on there 👍
