History

Can-Am is a branch of a larger powersports company called Bombardier Recreational Products, which was launched in 1942. The creator, Joseph-Armand Bombardier, was most notable for the first successful creation and test of a snowmobile.

Can-Am began as a motorcycle brand. They built high-performing motocross dirt bikes designed for speed and conquering the dusty track. Their owners rode these beasts of a machine to victory. Eventually, Can-Am expanded out and offered a variety of powersports vehicles.

It did not take long for Can-Am to earn its place among top powersports innovators. In the late 1990s, designers created ATVs with TTI rear suspension. This design utilized two independent pivot points. The end result was a huge increase to comfort regardless of the terrain.

In 2002, Can-Am was the first company to build a manufacturer-approved ATV capable of handling two passengers. It also offered a suspension system capable of handling weight without sacrificing performance.

In 2010, the company revealed the Can-Am Commander. It’s claim to fame is the fact it’s the most versatile side-by-side created to date. It’s powered by an 85-hp Rotax 1000 V-Twin engine allowing it to conquer tough terrains and hit top speeds. It also offers a dual-level cargo box for easy storage. These are just a few of the many perks of this model.

Though Can-Am began as simply a specialized division of Bombardier Recreational Products, over the years, the company has made a name for itself. Now it’s a stand alone name easily recognizable to anyone who knows anything about powersports.

Can-Am Today

Given the quality and high-performance of Can-Am vehicles, it’s no surprise the company was met with massive success. It didn’t take long for Can-Am to expand out to new countries and markets. Today, Can-Am is a supplier of thrills and adrenaline rushes in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.

Can-Am offers a wide range of inventory for all types of riders. Their powersports vehicles can seat one to six riders without sacrificing performance. Whether you want to hit the trail alone or bring along navigation buddies, you can find a model for you.

Can-Am engines range from low 400ccs to upper 900ccs. This impressive spread makes it easy to find the right amount of power for your riding ability. A new or younger rider will do better with a lower power engine. An experienced rider (or someone looking for a work vehicle) will gravitate towards the higher power.

Different types of riding will require different features. That’s why Can-Am offers a range of vehicles tailored for different styles such as recreational, mud riding, hunting, youth, trail, rock crawling, or work. Find ATVs and side-by-sides in each category. Check out built-in or add-on features like performance shocks, Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) and Smart-Lok Technology. You can even get vehicles specially made to meet the unique needs of the government or commercial industry.
