VALCOURT, QC, Aug. 11, 2021 /CNW Telbec/ - BRP (TSX: DOO)
(NASDAQ: DOOO) maintains a constant focus on improving the rider
experience across its entire lineup of powersports vehicles. Can-Am
Off-Road is a shining example of that, and the results speak for
themselves – continuously sweeping podiums at the most grueling
races across the globe, helping to drive massive industry growth
and attract new riders, and introducing new and improved vehicles
to get the job done, no matter the task or adventure at hand.
As the off-road industry continues its incredible growth, riders
of all skill levels crave the best machine for their version of
Off-Road Livin'. And Can-Am is once again delivering with its 2022
model year lineup of ATVs and side-by-side vehicles – from entry
level to top performance. With more horsepower, better traction,
enhanced comfort, and so much more, Can-Am is rolling into the new
model year with some serious swagger.
Pushing Further, Faster
The Can-Am Maverick X3 lineup
of performance off-road vehicles is synonymous with power,
handling, and…winning. For 2022, Can-Am is upping the ante,
becoming the first side-by-side manufacturer to offer a 200hp
engine. That's a lot of power. And coupled with our all-new pDrive
roller clutch system, the entire dynamic changes through quicker
acceleration and instant-on power at all times.
And while the Can-Am Maverick X3 delivers the best
power-to-weight ratio in its class, handling remains critical to
all-around performance. That is why BRP engineers worked tirelessly
to ensure the lineup handles terrain with ease, thanks to
Smart-Shox adaptive suspension, new 30 and 32-inch Maxxis Carnivore
tires, a stronger frame, and higher ground clearance and stance.
That total combination is what makes the Maverick the envy of the
competition.
"The 2022 Can-Am Maverick X3 is the pinnacle of performance
side-by-side vehicles," said Hailie
Deegan, professional racer and Can-Am brand ambassador. "And
the best part of working with Can-Am, is they keep making it better
and better. There's no other choice if you're in the market for the
best, and if you enjoy watching others try to keep up in the
rearview."
All-New Engine Options
Speaking of power, Can-Am is
introducing two new Rotax engines to its lineup – the HD7/700 ACE
and the HD9, replacing the HD5, HD8, and 800.
The Rotax HD7 is set to become the new ruler of the lower-HP
class. It will be available in the Can-Am Defender, where it
replaces the HD5 with 37% more poweri, and with a
sportier calibration, it will power the new Commander 700, and the
Maverick Trail 700. The new engine is optimized for off-road
usage, delivering an improved experience with less noise, less
vibration, and a cooler environment for passengers resulting in a
more comfortable ride.
And the Rotax HD9 option replaces the HD8 in the Can-Am Defender
lineup. It is a larger, more powerful engine that delivers
30%i more horsepower than its predecessor. It promises
the same dependability, with even more workability by way of
class-leading power and low-end torque.
"With the addition of the HD7 and HD9 engine options to the
already existing HD10, Can-Am is class leading in power and the
best option to accomplish the task at hand, whether that's work or
play," said Christian St-Onge Director Global Product Strategy
Can-Am Off-Road Vehicles. "Regardless of your vehicle choice, this
lineup is built to perform."
Visco-4Lok Expansion
On the ATV side, Can-Am is
expanding its Visco-4Lok system. It works with the push of a
button, where riders can engage a 4-wheel-drive lock mode, which
instantly provides equal power to all four wheels for great
traction. It will now be available on all 2022 Outlander and
Renegade X mr packages, as well as the Outlander XT-P, and
Outlander MAX Limited.
With these enhancements across its ATV and side-by-side vehicle
lineups, Can-Am is giving all riders what they crave, regardless if
they live for performance, or are adventurers embarking on their
next epic journey. That is Can-Am Off-Road Livin'.
