You don’t win the Baja 1000, Baja 500, San Felipe 250 in the same year unless you have a fast – really fast – engine. And you don’t win the Paris-Dakar rally unless you have a incredible durability. And you don’t accomplish these feats unless you ride a Bombardier* DS650 X ATV. And riders don’t have to be part of a top factory race team to get that type of performance, because the 2006 DS650 X delivers this level of performance and reliability right out of the box.

Consumers might not be taking their DS650 X out for a 1000 mile (1,600 km), all-out spin through some of the most unforgiving terrain on earth…but its racing pedigree ensures that busting through dunes or slicing through trails has never been so exciting.

Racing is about being fast, and the DS shines in that department with its Rotax 650cc single-cylinder mill. Liquid-cooling, four-valves, dual cams and dual sparkplugs all work together to deliver the most power and torque in the class. Plus, this engine has proven to be absolutely reliable in even the toughest conditions.

Tackling unforgiving terrain requires suspension performance and the DS650 X delivers in spades. Double A-arms in the front use High Pressure Gas [HPG] shocks to soak up the bumps and control the ride. An aluminum swing arm with a single Kayaba HPG remote-reservoir shock does the job in the rear. Travel up front is a full 12-inches [30.5cm] and 11-inches [27.9cm] in the back. To tailor the ATV’s performance for riding style, terrain and conditions, the front shocks have an infinite pre-load adjustment; the rear shock has adjustments for pre-load, compression and rebound.

Even the most punishing DS650 X owners will have no doubts about reliability, with a full compliment of heavy-duty components, such as 530 o-ring chain, tapered bearings, six-bolt sprocket carrier, and aluminum rear axle. Racing or riding at night? In addition to its dual lamp headlamp and auxiliary halogen lamps, the 290-Watt magneto can power even more.

The X-package features list proves this is a serious, race-ready ATV. There’s no need for another big-dollar shopping trip to get this baby ready for fun, as all these trick items – that’s more than $1,800 USD[$2,400 CDN] in value – are standard:

• aluminum rims with reinforcement rings
• lightweight aluminum front bumper
• aluminum muffler shield
• factory-fit skid plates for the A-arms and engine
• aluminum nerf bars
• steel-braided brake lines
• tachometer
• foot-peg extensions
• rear and front shock protectors
• handlebar guards
• high performance grips
• special low-profile seat design
• aggressive Ohtsu R tires
• auxiliary lights

For ’06, the DS650 X is available in black with high voltage graphics.
