Valcourt, Quebec (5/29/2009) - BRP's
2010 Can-Am ATV line-up features the industry's
first air-controlled suspension system (ACS) and
a new Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) with dual-mode,
speed-sensitive power assist, and next-generation
Visco-Lok QE automatic front differential.
While the Can-Am ATV brand continues to strengthen
its position as the enthusiast ATV line, BRP's
2010 models bring even more value through innovation

user control to power steering through its dual-mode,

air-controlled suspension system give ATV enthusiasts
more control over the riding experience.
Never have the reasons for the ATV enthusiast
to buy a Can-Am product been stronger than in
this year's ATV line-up. Can-Am ATVs always
feature the most power, sharpest handling and
best design in the industry, and now, BRP brings
new technologies that inject unprecedented value
into ATV riding.

value-added packages as well. For 2010, enthusiast's
favorite options into the XT™ and the
new XT-P packages that include items like DPS,
winch, premium tires and wheels, front and rear
bumpers result in unprecedented value for the
discerning customer.

2010 BRP Can-Am ATV New Features Overview |
Air-Controlled Suspension (ACS) –
The 2010 Can-Am™ Outlander MAX
LTD line comes equipped with the industry’s
first air-controlled suspension. The ACS adjusts
the rear high-pressure gas Fox Racing Shox-built
suspension to six rider-selectable levels depending
on the trail conditions or rider preference.
This allows the LTD to maintain handling characteristics
even when fully loaded. The ACS air compressor
also comes with a hose that can be used to fill
tires while out on the trail. In addition to
the Outlander MAX 800R EFI LTD, Can-Am now offers
a Outlander MAX 500 EFI LTD option.

Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) –
Can-Am introduces its advanced power
steering system on all Outlander XT models,
the Outlander MAX Ltd models and the Renegade
X xc. DPS comes with two rider selectable modes
(“Min” and “Max”) for
more or less steering assist that is selectable
by the rider for preference or terrain –
an industry-exclusive feature. The Can-Am DPS
has a quicker response to steering torque input
than other power steering systems on the market,
and it has more kickback damping than the competition
without sacrificing essential feedback. In short:
Less kickback, more feedback. And you can be
assured the high-capacity; fade-resistant 50-amp
motor means the steering assist level will never
change no matter how hard you use it –
unlike some competition’s systems that
fade with constant heavy use. If you need more
convincing our system stands up to whatever
the trail bring, Can-Am racers have already
proven DPS in the gruelling GNCC race series.
