Can-Am, part of BRP, has announced that it will release major off-road product announcements every six months for the next four years.
It comes as the company showcases two concept builds.
“At BRP, we thrive on innovation and ambitious goals,” said Sandy Scullion, president, powersports, at BRP. “Our efforts are sharply focused on becoming the number one brand in off-road and the OEM of choice for dealers around the globe. In order to be a great partner to our dealers, it is critical that we continue to deliver industry-leading products. The Traxter Prerunner and the Maverick R XRay are a testament to our innovative DNA and creative excellence.”
“Both of these vehicles encapsulate our design philosophy of innovative product architecture, functionality and emotional appeal,” said Alain Massicotte, SSV Director of Design and Innovation at BRP. “For our team, these vehicles are far more than a design exercise. They are an opportunity to reimagine two of our most iconic nameplates, both practically and aesthetically, while exploring the realm of possibilities for the evolution of Can-Am DNA. This is also a great way to spark conversations with our most engaged customer community.”
The Traxter Prerunner is designed to be the ultimate racing support vehicle, inspired by the company’s involvement in the Dakar Rally.
Built around the Traxter platform, it is a 6×6 vehicle for prerunning and chasing during some of the toughest races on the planet. It is fitted with 35in tyres to tackle uneven terrain and features the LinQ bed for tools and spare parts storage.
The Maverick R XRay takes the company’s recreational off-road platform and fits it with an exoskeleton structure and custom lighting rig, resulting in translucent backlit panels.
With changing light colours, the vehicle illuminates red under braking and can be programmed to display various lighting patterns that bring an inspired and dynamic show to the dunes.
It has a custom two-wheel drive configuration and active roof spoiler, premium Sparco seats and paddle tyres.
