Valcourt, Québec, Canada, June 3, 2015 – BRP (TSX:DOO) asserts itself as the off-road performance leader by delivering more of what consumers have been asking for: three new class-leading Rotax ATV engines, increased to 131 hp the flagship Can-Am Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo, and new specialized models for the 2016 Can-Am off-road line-up. 

 

“BRP aims to remain the performance leader of the global off-road industry,” said Anne Bélec, senior vice-president, Global Brand, Strategy and Information Systems. “We offer our customers the latest engine technologies and industry-leading power in all ATV segments and a more powerful Rotax 1000R Turbo engine in the Maverick, Maverick X ds and new X rs side-by-side vehicles. More than ever, our customers can experience the ultimate ride and the latest technologies in the industry.”

 

Rotax engineers optimized and upgraded three of the signature ATV engines: the 570, the 850 and the 1000R. With significant power and torque gains, the new engines offer Can-Am off-road vehicles a clear advantage over the competition.

 

The new Maverick 1000R Turbo model, the most affordable factory-installed turbocharged side-by-side vehicle in the industry, along with the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo and new Maverick X rs 1000R Turbo models are the most powerful in the industry. These models raise the performance bar with greater torque and an unprecedented 131 horsepower for an impeccable combination of power and handling. 

 

Along with the additional performance, BRP expands its Can-Am off-road family with specialty vehicles. The Outlander L X mr 570 ATV makes mud riding more affordable than ever. The new Mossy Oak Hunting Edition vehicles, featuring the Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo pattern, and an array of specialized accessories, will thrill hunters everywhere.
