Hey guys. I was doing something on here one day, and I saw something about a "Bombardier DS 440" They said something about a twin 2 stroke 440CC. Have any of you heard anything about it?? I think it would be a "wake up" call to Yamaha and Honda, and just MIGHT get the ball rolling again. I doubt it will happen.. But.. It's okay to dream.. isn't it?

 

ahhhh another quad that ppl wont be able to just let the future hold the truth


now thaat u starteed this post every one will be talking about tis dayin and day out

 

Sorry, but I was curious. I'm not saying that there is one, I'm asking if anyone has heard something like that before. I read something about it the other day, and just started wondering.

 

yeah i saw that too over in the polaris forum i think. i think that guy was just lying about that but maybe (and i hope) not.

 

yeaaaah, you're right. I can't remember where I go on these forums. lol.. I doubt they make it...

 

I know for sure they don't make it now. I've never heard about a 440 2 cylinder 2-stroke, but I have heard people 'wishing' Bombardier would use the 380cc 2-stroke twin found in some sleds in a new ATV. Some rumors about it being made, but until I see it, I wouldn't believe it. I remember being on the forums before the 400EX came out, and there were rumors that the new Yamaha would be coming out at about the same time or possibly before the Honda. Hrrrm, looks like that rumor was 2 years early. My guess is Yamaha may have already started doing R&D at that time, which probably spawned the rumors. Maybe it wont take 2 years for this one, if it ever exists.

 

If Bombardier make a DS440 it will be a 4-stroke. The two strokes are dead thanks to pollution controls. If Bombardier want to get in to quad racing like they are in snowmobile racing they will has to make a 440 4-stroke to race in the AMA and GNCC Pro class. The DS650 is great in the desert and sand dues but there is no open Pro class in the AMA and the DS650 is too big to race in the woods in GNCC. So if Bombardier want to get serious in ATV racing they will have to make a 440 4-stroke.

 

There is an article in one of the new ATV mags about rotax and some of there new engines and they were speculating about future quads and engine choices. One was a two stroke. Maybe there not dead yet.

 

BigDodge is correct-- In the latest Dirt Wheels there are 2 new Rotax engines. I believe one is a 125, don't know what the other is, probably a 250. From what they say, it is likely that there may be some new Bombardier 2-stokes.

 

i hope a 250 2 stroke comes out. if it did i'd trade my 400 in on one. any1 remeber the rebel star quad that used the rotax 250 engine? that thing kicked ***!
