2011 CAN-AM DS450X XC ($8949)

Can-Am built this model with the cross-country racer in mind, and Adam McGill has proven its effectiveness in the GNCC series. It comes in cross-country width, but with upgraded suspension and ITP Holeshot tires mounted on black aluminum ITP wheels. If you built this yourself, you would spend hundreds more.
