2026 Can-Am DS 250

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
