2027 Can-Am DS 250 3JVA

Meet the 2027 Can-Am™ DS 250, a youth-sized sport ATV that looks ready to star in its own backyard action movie—especially in its bold finish. (If you’re the type who likes options, this model also comes in Black and Can-Am Red.) It’s compact enough to feel confidence-inspiring, but built with the kind of real-deal attitude that makes every lap around the property feel like practice for the big leagues.



At the heart of the fun is a 250cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with SOHC and 4 valves, delivering a punchy 14.8 ft-lbs of torque at 5,500 rpm—the kind of low-end pull that helps keep rides lively without needing constant fuss. Fueling is handled by a Keihin carburetor, and it’s happy sipping regular gas. Starting is easy too: push-button electric start is there when you want it, with a kick start backup for extra peace of mind.



The ride feels sporty and controlled thanks to a CVT transmission, and when it’s time to back out of a tight spot, reverse is on your side. Power makes its way through a belt drive from the engine to the transmission and then out to the rear via chain, driving a 4x2 setup with a rear solid axle for that classic sport-quad feel.



Up front, the double A-arm suspension offers 5.5 inches of travel and adjustable preload; in the rear, a swing arm with a single shock provides 6.7 inches of travel with adjustable preload as well—so it can be tuned for comfort, control, or a bit of both. A-arm skid plate and front bash plate protection help keep the good times rolling when the trail gets a little unpredictable.



Stopping power comes from dual hydraulic disc brakes up front and a hydraulic disc in the rear. It rolls on steel wheels wrapped in Kenda tires (22-inch fronts, 20-inch rears), giving it a planted stance in a manageable footprint: 72 inches long, 40.5 inches wide, with a 31.5-inch seat height and 4.5 inches of ground clearance. With a 3.3-gallon fuel tank, it’s ready for plenty of seat time—on a comfortable one-piece vinyl seat—with handy temperature and fuel level warnings to keep the ride worry-free.
