2008 · Super motard
The 2008 CCM 404DS Supermoto carved its niche in the competitive supermoto segment, a category known for its lightweight, agile machines. Building on CCM's heritage of producing focused, performance-oriented motorcycles, the 404DS was a direct evolution of their enduro and motocross platforms adapted for tarmac. In its time, it faced contenders like the KTM 450 SMR and the Husqvarna SM 450R, appealing to riders who valued a raw, unadulterated riding experience.
At the heart of the 404DS Supermoto was a potent 398.00 ccm (24.29 cubic inches) engine, delivering a robust 40.00 HP (29.2 kW). This power output, combined with an exceptionally light dry weight of just 128.0 kg (282.2 pounds), resulted in a very favorable power-to-weight ratio. Fuel capacity stood at 12.00 litres (3.17 gallons), providing a reasonable range for its intended use. These specifications underscore its design as a purpose-built supermotard, prioritizing agility and responsiveness.
Riding characteristics of the 404DS were defined by its supermoto geometry. The upright stance, wide handlebars, and minimal bodywork contributed to its flickable nature, making it adept at navigating tight turns and urban environments. The seat height, at 830 mm (32.7 inches) in its lowest adjustable setting, was typical for the category, offering ample ground clearance for aggressive lean angles. While not designed for long-distance touring, its focused ergonomics were well-suited for spirited riding and short commutes, emphasizing control and rider engagement over plush comfort.
The 2008 CCM 404DS Supermoto was aimed squarely at enthusiasts seeking a pure, no-frills supermoto. Its appeal lay in its mechanical simplicity, lightweight design, and direct feedback, making it an engaging machine for experienced riders or those looking to hone their skills on a supermotard. It was a motorcycle for the rider who appreciated the visceral connection to the road and the distinctive characteristics of a high-performance single-cylinder, supermoto package.
