CAN-AM ATV

Jun. 02, 2007 By Press Release
Valcourt, Québec, June 2, 2007 – BRP Can-Am™ is the ATV brand for enthusiasts. With its 2008 Can-Am line-up, BRP is poised to further strengthen this position with four new models aimed squarely at riders who enjoy riding on the track and on the trail.

Powered by the completely new Rotax® 4-TEC® 450cc engine, the Can-Am DS 450™ EFI model is no exception to BRP's reputation of taking a fresh approach when entering new market segments. From the front suspension to the rear axle, innovations are everywhere. Not the least of which is its advanced Altec aluminum frame, making the DS 450 the lightest 450cc sport ATV in its class.

Also new for 2008

• The Can-Am Renegade™ 500 H.O. EFI model, powered by a Rotax 4-TEC EFI V-twin engine, is joining the noted Renegade 800.

• The Can-Am DS 70™ and the redesigned DS 90™: two new youth full-featured models, with long-travel suspension, day lights, storage bin and bodywork reflecting the DNA of the DS 450 and Renegade models.

• For 2008, all Can-Am Outlander™ models receive upgrades, new multi-function gauge and rear fascia styling. Standard models are equipped with restyled painted steel wheels.

“With these new models, BRP continues to fulfill its commitment to reach out and attract true powersports enthusiasts,” said Yves Leduc, vice-president and general manager, Snowmobiles, Watercraft, Sport Boats and ATVs, BRP. "The DS 450 EFI embodies everything the Can-Am brand stands for – power, handling, innovation, and cutting edge design. We are especially looking forward to its performance on the race track."
