Can-Am Unveils the New Generation Traxter Side-by-Side
Can-Am, a prominent brand under BRP Inc. (known for its stock listings TSX: DOO and NASDAQ: DOOO), has set a new benchmark in the side-by-side vehicle market with the launch of the
2026 Traxter. This utility and recreational vehicle caters to a wide array of users, from farmers and ranchers to adventurous riders. Renowned for its power and versatility, the latest incarnation of the Traxter showcases a comprehensive overhaul, positioning it as one of the most reliable utility-recreational side-by-sides available.
Performance Meets Innovation
At the core of the new Traxter is a striking
999cc inline three-cylinder Rotax ACE engine. Generating
95 horsepower and
70 lb-ft of torque, the engine is coupled with an advanced continuously variable transmission (CVT) and a newly designed pDrive primary clutch. This combination enhances low-speed power delivery and operational reliability, allowing users to select from
three distinct driving modes: Normal, Work, and Sport. Each mode optimizes vehicle performance for various tasks, whether hauling heavy loads or navigating rugged terrains.
Furthermore, the Traxter comes equipped with a new
intake system that promotes better airflow to the engine and an upgraded cooling system that efficiently manages temperature, enhancing performance across different conditions. The introduction of an
Open-4Lok front differential with ABS ensures optimal traction under a variety of circumstances, solidifying the Traxter's reputation for dependability.
Unmatched Suspension and Handling
With high ambitions for a utility vehicle, Can-Am has engineered a suspension setup that meets and exceeds expectations. The
2026 Traxter features an innovative suspension geometry with a robust architecture, including
50% larger arched double A-arms. The marriage of robust components and double-bonded bushings results in smoother operation, reduced maintenance, and a quieter ride.
Riders will appreciate the impressive
30.5 cm of suspension travel combined with
35.6 cm of ground clearance, which are class leaders. Moreover, the vehicle's turning radius has been reduced, making tight navigation a breeze. To ensure safety, upgraded
brake components provide confident stopping power, even under challenging conditions.
Comfort and Customizability
In addition to performance, the
2026 Traxter emphasizes rider comfort with the industry's largest cab, providing
8% more legroom than its nearest rivals. With an adjustable quick tilt steering wheel, accessing the cab is more convenient than ever.
Customizability is another big win, with over
200 accessories available, including cargo boxes and new integrated mounts to tackle various adventures or work-related tasks.
For electronic needs, the new charging system doubles the output of prior models, allowing for tools and accessories to be powered seamlessly. Enhanced
LED lighting is designed to improve visibility in low-light conditions, further ensuring safety and functionality.
Low Maintenance, High Performance
Can-Am prioritizes rider convenience with easy access to service points, resulting in some of the longest service intervals in the industry. This commitment to efficiency ensures minimal downtime and maximizes time on the trail or job site.
The
2026 Traxter lineup includes the
Traxter XU HD11 and
Traxter MAX XU HD11, both featuring advanced ABS technology.
