Bombardier Announces Can-Am Commander Lineup

Some riders prefer the space and stability offered by side-by-side vehicles (SSVs) as compared to ATVs. These machines can go pretty much anywhere that an ATV can while offering operators a slightly more comfortable ride.

Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP) recently announced a new lineup of SSVs - the Can-Am Commander. The entire Commander line has the choice between two power options: the Rotax 800 or 1000 V-Twin EFIs. The company claims that these engines give the vehicles the most power and best fuel economy in the industry.

Riders also have the choice between various trim levels: the XT package on the 800 and 1000 and the X package on the 1000. The XT package adds a number of off-roading conveniences like mudguards and heavy-duty bumpers, while the X package comes with the top shocks that the company offers for true off-roading performance.

The models also sport a number of safety options, like a rollover protection system, anti-dive design and intelligent throttle control. Creature comforts include a dual-level cargo box and the most fuel and cockpit storage in its class.

The company says that a number of their existing ATV accessories will also work with the Commander for riders who want to have a machine all their own.
