Can-Am Announces New 50" Wide Trail Side-by-Side Models

Dallas, Texas, Sept. 20, 2017

- BRP (TSX: DOO) unveils four new 50"-wide Can-Am Maverick Trail Can vehicles at its annual dealer meeting in Dallas, TX. People can now enjoy the Maverick experience while accessing many public trails and tucked-away destinations with ease. With their innovative design and extreme agility, Maverick Trail vehicles enhance the consumer experience and allow people to explore the wild with confidence.

The Maverick Trail vehicle is conceived to bring one of the best trail experiences to people with its bold Can-Am Maverick X3 heritage and its ingenious convenience features. Every feature is purpose-built to maximize consumer comfort, vehicle stability, and handling - a must for people who are looking for a full day of adventures.

"The Can-Am Maverick Trail lineup introduces our incredible X3 pedigree to trail exploration," said Bernard Guy, Senior Vice President, Global Product Strategy at BRP. "People love riding trails because it's an adventurous escape into nature to discover new destinations with friends, and these ingenious machines are built to maximize the user experience in every way."

The fun doesn't stop on the trail, though, as BRP also introduced two new technical crawling-specific models for 2018 - the 172hp Can-Am Maverick X3 X rc TURBO R and the 120hp Maverick X3 X rc TURBO. Rugged crawling is extremely popular (and growing), and BRP went to the rocks to gain real-world insight from owners before finalizing the design.
One critical takeaway for the best possible user experience was the need for a fully-lockable front differential. In response, the Can-Am team created a technology called SMART-Lokâ„¢*, which is an ingenious fully-lockable on-the-fly front differential with electronically-controlled automatic modes. That smart technology enhances the riding experience and amounts to traction in extreme conditions.

Maverick X3 X rc models are specifically designed for maximum maneuverability even at low speeds with a high ground clearance and large, specialized tires. They also come loaded with features for maximum protection including rock sliders, front and rear suspension protectors, and a front differential guard for enhanced defense against harsh terrain and rocks.

On the utility side of the lineup, BRP introduced three new specialty packages to its Can-Am Defender model family, each purpose-built for a specific, enhanced ride experience:

• The Defender X mr HD10 is a mud-ready vehicle that's built to tackle grimy conditions with ease. It also has a SMART-Lok front differential, and along with other tough and clever elements, is built from the ground up so people can conquer harsh environments.
  
• The Defender XT-P brings performance to the workhorse-oriented Defender XT lineup, with upgraded shocks, multiple driving modes, and more. It's an ideal balance between performance, comfort and convenience, and is packed with a sportier look.
  
• The Defender MAX LONE STAR HD10 complements the swagger and grit of the Texas rancher and outdoorsman. It's the perfect tool for day-to-day ranching tasks while making sure people stand out from the crowd. It features painted deep metallic black coloration, Lone Star trim, and heavy-duty components such as a steel front bumper and full hard roof.
