Can-Am Moves Toward a More Immersive Riding Experience

Can-Am, a brand of BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO, NASDAQ: DOOO), recently unveiled its product news for model year 2024 across its 3-wheel vehicle lineup.

This technology will be woven into the existing BRP Connect platform and will allow iPhone users to use Apple CarPlay and all its compatible apps.

“We are constantly looking to improve the rider experience through innovation,” said Martin Ethier, Marketing Director, Can-Am 3-Wheel & Motorcycles at BRP. “The introduction of Apple CarPlay is a big step toward that, and it directly addresses feedback we have received from Can-Am owners around the world. Riders will now have a smarter, safer way to stay connected while riding.”

2024 Can-Am Spyder Visual Enhancements

• All 2024 Can-Am Spyder F3 models will receive updated LED headlights, providing more visibility once the sun goes down, as well as giving the Spyder F3 a bold new modern look.
• The Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited Special Series model will be available in a timeless Cognac colorway and feature 10-spoke wheels, giving it an eye-catching presence whether sitting still or cruising down the highway.
• Can-Am Spyder F3-T and F3 Limited models will receive a new Super Sport Grill for an enhanced visual presence.

Snapshots: Highlights of a Busy Year for Can-Am

50th Anniversary
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Can-Am, which has pushed the limits of convention with passion, creativity, and a rebellious attitude since the very beginning. It started with winning the International Six Day Enduro and motocross championships, and has evolved to the introduction of the Can-Am ATV (all terrain vehicle), innovative Can-Am 3-wheel vehicle lineup and award-winning Can-Am side-by-side vehicles. Can-Am has always done things its own way, and that will hold true well into the future.

2023 International Female Ride Day
With the largest female ownership in the on-road riding industry at 34 percent^[1], and more than 18,000 members in its WOOR (Women Of On-Road) Facebook group, Can-Am continues to change the face of riding and open the road to women. As part of that, each May, Can-Am participates in International Female Ride Day (IFRD), bringing women from all over the world together to celebrate those who live for the thrill of the ride. This year, Can-Am organized multiple rides around the globe with hundreds of participants riding Can-Am 3-wheel vehicles and celebrating the power and freedom of riding.

The Shoe Surgeon Collaboration
Can-Am continues to bring more people into riding by appealing to different audiences. One example of that is the brand’s collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon. The result is three custom Can-Am Ryker 3-wheel vehicles along with three styles of Can-Am-inspired riding shoes each pushing the limits of creativity, following themes of “inclusivity,” “heritage,” and “the love of the ride.” Ultimately, the vehicles will be used to help raise awareness and money toward fighting intimidation and influencing positive behavior, which is BRP’s global social cause. Click HERE for more information on the collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon.

Can-Am 3-Wheel Retail Update
Can-Am 3-wheel continues to grow, with market share gains of 20 percentage points over the last three years in North America, with retail sales more than doubling in the last four years. New riders make up a significant portion, as 61 percent of recent Can-Am owners are new to the 3-wheel category, and 40 percent of recent Can-Am owners are new to the On-Highway segment (2-wheel or 3-wheel).

Looking Ahead: EV Introductions, including Can-Am Pulse and Origin Electric Motorcycles

BRP is committed to offering electric options in all its existing product lines. A roll-out of EV models is planned over the next few years, with the last product introduction now expected before the end of 2027 instead of 2026 as originally planned.

Furthermore, BRP has announced the upcoming launch of new electric categories, including the return of Can-Am on 2-wheel motorcycles with the all-electric Can-Am Pulse and Origin. The product development team is making solid progress, and the construction of the plant in Querétaro is well underway. Can-Am plans to release all specs of these two models and start taking orders next summer, with the first Can-Am motorcycles expected to hit the road before the end of 2024. In the meantime, the team is conducting testing in all possible usage conditions. Early feedback from test riders is that both of these exciting new models deliver a powerful, smooth, and thrilling riding experience.

Can-Am Transforms the Ride Experience and Performance with the All New 2024 Maverick R

BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO, NASDAQ: DOOO) is changing the landscape of the recreational side-by-side (SSV) category with the all-new Maverick R. Built on the principles of challenging the status quo and blasting through the barriers of performance, the 2024 Can-Am Maverick R lineup will forever change the off-road scene. Designed from the rider down and inspired by Can-Am’s relentless pursuit of performance, the Maverick R touts an industry-leading 240-horsepower engine, Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), unrivaled suspension travel, and a suite of enhanced technology to take the rider experience to the next level.

“Can-Am believes that progress does not come from standing still, and the exciting new Maverick R represents our commitment to creating a machine that will change the industry by smashing through the confines of current performance and design boundaries, taking the rider experience to a whole new level,” said Sandy Scullion, President, Powersports Group at BRP. “With a 240 horsepower powerplant, state-of-the-art DCT gearbox, and the chassis and suspension to harness the power, the new Maverick R is truly a race-ready side-by-side purpose-built for the most demanding riders.”

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The heartbeat of the Maverick R comes from an industry-defining 240-horsepower 999T Rotax 999cc turbocharged inline three-cylinder, four-stroke, fuel-injected engine. Putting the power to the ground faster and more efficiently than ever before, the Maverick R utilizes the first-ever Rotax off-road seven-speed DCT design, automatic or optionally controllable by paddle shifter. This potent package provides the Maverick R power-to-displacement ratio to leave the competition in the dust.

Through race proven research and development, the Maverick R employs an optimized air intake design for easy maintenance and next-level performance. Dual fuel injectors feed each cylinder, while the industry’s first electronically controlled wastegate regulates the turbocharger’s boost pressure, maximizing performance throughout the R, no matter the conditions.

Three selectable driving modes – Normal, Sport, and Sport+ – put even more control into the driver’s hands. The Normal driving mode provides a smooth throttle response, shifts gears through the seven-speed DCT transmission at 3500-4500 RPM range; the Sport mode offers enhanced throttle response and shifts gears 8500 RPM; and the Sport+ mode features Advanced Response Technology (ART) to achieve peak throttle response performance and shifts gears at 8500 RPM, a highly effective anti-turbo lag system. ART creates preload to the turbo by cutting one cylinder, delaying the ignition curve, and maximizing throttle body positioning for maximum airflow. Once wide-open throttle is applied, the third cylinder returns to firing and max performance is achieved.

CHASSIS & SUSPENSION

A revolutionary powerplant needs a revolutionary chassis to handle the unrivaled power. The Maverick R features a high-strength dual-phase tube steel v-shape chassis and cage for increased strength, rigidity and optimized vehicle performance. The new chassis design significantly reduces stress on bolted connections, including the front and rear suspension components that are  equipped with double-bonded bushings for a more quiet and smooth riding experience. To keep up with the demands of the high-performance engine and chassis, the Maverick R has a class-leading vehicle footprint, measuring 77″ wide and a 108″ wheelbase for optimal stability and handling.

A new heavy duty tall-knuckle suspension design prioritizes rider comfort and performance. The design enables the Maverick R to achieve its full potential on the trail or the track, with 25″ of travel upfront, 26″ in the rear, and 17″ of ground clearance. The unique aerospace aluminum suspension configuration also reduces stress on components, providing superior bump absorption, increased torsional rigidity, and improved stability and handling.

An unbeatable combination of Smart-Shox, the newest Fox Live Valve Gen 3 technology coupled with Fox 2.5 PODIUM and 3.0 PODIUM shocks, keeps the Maverick R smoothly tracking across the most treacherous of desert chop. Thanks to Fox’s patented electronic main post and base valve, the Maverick R has six times greater compression tuning range than any other vehicle on the market. Making more than 200 real time suspension adjustments per second, with the ability to change from soft-to hard-valve settings in less than two-hundredths of second, the Maverick R suspension package inspires confidence with every brake, acceleration, and corner.

Putting the power to the ground, the Maverick R is equipped with 32-inch Tenacity XNR ITP tires (32x10Rx16) that are mounted to 16-inch aluminum beadlocked wheels. The robust 16-inch wheels also have the industry’s first six-lug, 139.7mm bolt pattern, which is standard for many automotive trucks, and a required element to handle the increased power and torque of the new platform. Stopping power for the Maverick R comes from 265mm discs upfront, gripped by 32mm hydraulic triple piston calipers, while 255mm discs are gripped by 30mm hydraulic dual piston calipers in the rear.

RIDER EXPERIENCE & FEATURES

Every detail of the Maverick R was thoroughly scrutinized in the design and engineering process to ensure an unmatched rider experience, balancing comfort, performance, quality and practicality. The cutting edge interior creates an immersive driving experience with precision ergonomics and 10.25-inch digital touchscreen display for maximum visibility and control.

The Ergo-Lok cockpit features four-way adjustable seats for the driver and passenger, with a low seating position and customizable support options for a premium driving experience. The configuration of interior and controls offers a seamless, intuitive experience from the infotainment screen to the telescoping steering wheel with control keypad. The steering wheel also features supercar-inspired optional paddle shifters for lightning-fast gear changes. The intuitive design also carries over to the storage solutions, with a central sealed storage compartment for cell phones and an easy-to-reach passenger glove box. Encapsulating the rider cockpit, sleek one-piece half-doors complement the interior as much as they do the exterior, with a flush fit that also finishes the bodylines of the vehicle.

A first for the Can-Am Off-Road lineup, the Maverick R is equipped with a new 10.25-inch touchscreen display, offering an intuitive user interface with vehicle performance information, driving stats, navigation via the BRP GO! app, music, phone connectivity, and front/rear cameras.

VEHICLE LINEUP

The all-new 2024 Maverick R lineup has four different model configurations, the Maverick R, the Maverick R X, the Maverick R X rs, and the Maverick R X rs with Smart-Shox. To learn more about the 2024 Can-Am lineup visit can-am.brp.com.
