Overview

Introducing the 2014 Can-Am DS 70, an entry-level ATV designed to ignite the thrill of off-road exploration for young riders and beginners alike. With a price point of US$ 2,299, the DS 70 positions itself as an accessible option for families looking to introduce their children to the world of motorized adventure. Its vibrant yellow finish is not just eye-catching; it embodies the spirit of fun and freedom that Can-Am is renowned for. At the heart of the DS 70 is a spirited 69cc, single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a smooth and reliable performance that is perfect for inexperienced riders. The automatic gearbox ensures that shifting gears is the least of your worries, allowing you to focus on the ride. Whether you're navigating through trails or cruising around a field, the air-cooled engine and Keihin carburettor work in harmony to provide a responsive throttle and manageable power delivery. With a weight of just 111.1 kg (245 lbs) and a ground clearance of 211 mm (8.3 inches), the DS 70 is agile and easy to handle, making it the ideal companion for younger riders learning the ropes of off-road riding. The DS 70 boasts a robust chassis and suspension setup that enhances stability and comfort during rides. Featuring an independent A-arm front suspension with 241 mm (9.5 inches) of travel and a rear swingarm, it absorbs bumps and uneven terrain effortlessly. The double drum brakes on both the front and rear ensure reliable stopping power, contributing to a safe riding experience. Additionally, the DS 70 is equipped with both electric and kick start options, allowing for convenient starting every time you’re ready to hit the trails. With a fuel capacity of 6.06 liters (1.6 gallons), you can enjoy extended rides without frequent stops for refueling. **

Pros

  • User-Friendly Performance: The automatic transmission and lightweight design make it easy for beginners to handle.
  • Reliable Suspension System: The independent front suspension and swingarm rear provide excellent comfort and control over rough terrain.
  • Dual Starting Options: The convenience of both electric and kick starts adds versatility for different riding conditions.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Advanced Riders: With only 69cc, it may not satisfy those seeking high-speed thrills or more aggressive off-roading.
  • Basic Drum Brakes: While effective, the drum brakes may not offer the same performance as disc brakes, particularly in wet conditions.
  • Fixed Seat Height: Although the seat height is suitable for many riders, it may not be adjustable enough for those needing a lower or higher setup.
