50 inch Side by Side

When Oh When is BRP going to introduce a narrow UTV.
More and more trails are being cut or reduced to 52 inches and the overly wide commander series just doesn’t make it.

I sure hope BRP is going to give the 50 inch Polaris Razor some competition.

I want to move from my outlander 400HO up to a side by side but a 60 inch machine is not much use to me when the trails are cut or restricted to 52 inch or less machines:aniwheeler6:.

Are these tires done?

The knobs on these tires stick out about 3/8" and I think I read somewhere that itires with knobs less than one inch deep should be replaced. This quad with these worn tires is an amazing climber so I can’t imagine needing more traction. Maybe these tires are good enough for me because I’m not riding up anything extreme or riding through any mud. In the Sierra Nevada Mtns where I ride the dirt is grippy and the rocks are too. However, if these worn knobs substantially increase my risk of puncture or are dangerous in any way I’ll get new tires.

Here are pics of the tires and terrain that is about as extreme as I have ridden so far.

BRP Joins Cyclops Gear Cameras and Kappa Sportswear in Retail Distribution and Nascar

Nashville, Tennessee, September 18, 2015 — BRP revealed during its semiannual dealer meeting that it concluded an agreement whereby BRP’s North American dealer network will distribute four clothing collections by Kappa, well-known sportswear manufacturer, as well as the CGX2 camera by Cyclops Gear.

The agreement also provides BRP’s Can-Am brand with the opportunity to sponsor 36 races of the GoFAS No.32 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing team, featuring drivers Jeffrey Earnhardt and Bobby Labonté, as well as the full 2016 season for driver Alex Labbé in the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series.

“Powersports enthusiasts are always keen to capture their adrenaline-filled moments on camera while Cyclops Gear’s motto is Capture Life. An association with BRP and its Can-Am brand is then completely natural. You add to that sponsorship through a vector as powerful as NASCAR racing and Cyclops Gear suddenly has all the tools to consolidate its position in the marketplace,” said Alain Lord Mounir, co-founder of Cyclops Gear.

The brand-new CGX2 action camera, loaded with features such as a 2” LCD screen, Wi-Fi capacity to be controlled with smart devices and 1080 resolution at 60 fps will be available through BRP’s North American dealers’ network.

Kappa, a brand of BasicNet SpA (BIT:BAN), is a well-respected worldwide sports brand and possesses expertise in designing functional and technical clothing for active customers. BRP’s dealerships will now offer powersports enthusiasts more riding gear variety with a BRP exclusive Can-Am clothing line, the GoFAS Racing Team Collection, as well as Kappa-Kombat Technical and Casual Gear.

“Kappa has the skills to create stylish yet technical clothes that are appreciated by action oriented customers throughout the world,” said José Boisjoli, BRP’s president and CEO.
“Through this partnership, BRP’s clothing line provides more choice for consumers and invites a different clientele inside our dealerships.”

“BRP’s Can-Am brand is the natural choice for consumers looking for performance and style. Kappa shares these values. We are convinced that through our partnership with BRP and our NASCAR sponsorship, we will increase our brand awareness in North America, which will soon reach a similar level of recognition to the one we have elsewhere in the world,” said Lorenzo Boglione, Vice President of Worldwide Sales for Kappa.

Can-Am will be primary sponsor for 13 races on the GoFAS No.32 racecar in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series and associate sponsor for a further 23 races. Not limiting its efforts to brand positioning, BRP is also working on driver development by supporting promising talents Jeffrey Earnhardt and Alex Labbé while working with veteran NSCS champion Bobby Labonté. BRP firmly believes in the development of young talents and that this combination of experience and rising talents is the foundation of a winning team.

~ Powersports Leader to Sponsor 150-Mile Races Setting Field for the Daytona 500 ~

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — BRP, the manufacturer of world renowned motorized recreational vehicles and engines, will serve as the title sponsor for the 150-mile qualifying races for the DAYTONA 500 at Daytona International Speedway (DIS), part of Speedweeks 2016. The races will be known as the Can-Am Duel At Daytona.

The Can-Am Duel At Daytona, scheduled for Thursday, February 18, are a pair of 150-mile qualifying races that finalize the starting line-up for the 58th annual DAYTONA 500, the prestigious NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season-opening event on Sunday, February 21. The Can-Am Duel At Daytona will feature every DAYTONA 500 entrant battling for a coveted starting spot in “The Great American Race”.

“We’re excited about developing this new partnership with BRP, the world leader in recreational vehicles,” Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood III said. “With two thrilling and unpredictable 150-mile qualifying races, the Can-Am Duel At Daytona will provide a great platform for BRP to promote its Can-Am products at the ‘World Center of Racing’.”

“BRP and its Can-Am products are synonymous with innovation and performance in the powersports industry,” said Anne Bélec, senior vice-president, Global Brand and Strategy. “We feel that there’s a natural fit with NASCAR racers and their fans.

The events during Speedweeks 2016 will be the first to be held at Daytona International Speedway following the completion of the $400 million DAYTONA Rising frontstretch redevelopment project. Race fans will experience new amenities such as wider and more comfortable seats, spacious concourses, escalators and elevators, twice as many restrooms and three times as many concessions and merchandise stands.

Why can’t I find red Can am handguard?

So we picked up the wife a 570 xmr today. Went to get her the wrap around handgaurds in red. Well they aren’t in the canam book. Dealer couldn’t find them in computer. Then the guy says I guess they don’t make them. I pointed to the 850 xmr outside and said that xmr has them.. He just shrugged his shoulders and said I don’t know man?

Called 2 different dealers and looked all over the web. I can’t find. The CanAm BRP red ones anywhere…
