2012 Can-AM® Commander™ 800R

When BRP® developed the Can-Am® Commander™ side-by-side they committed to creating a side-by-side with the same characteristics you’ll find in all Can-Am® off-road vehicles. It’s the most powerful side-by-side vehicle with the best fuel-efficiency. Handling and performance characteristics engineered without compromise. And packed with rider-focused features ergonomically around the driver and passenger. The result is a ride that changed the side-by-side industry.

Features may include:
  • ROTAX® V-TWIN ENGINES WITH ITC

The 85 hp Rotax 1000 and the 71 hp Rotax 800R V-Twin engines deliver more power than any side-by-side vehicle. Both engines feature Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC), an industry exclusive throttle-by-wire system for precision throttle control in every situation.

  • TORSIONAL TRAILING ARM INDEPENDENT (TTI) REAR SUSPENSION

The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion. This ensures the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. With fewer moving parts than other systems.

  • DOUBLE A-ARM FRONT SUSPENSION WITH DIVE-CONTROL GEOMETRY

It works to eliminate diving under heavy braking and rough terrain. The front end features 25 cm [10 in] of travel and five-way preload-adjustable motion-control shocks with the largest diameter (36 mm/1.4 in) in the industry.

  • VISCO-LOK AUTO-LOCKING FRONT DIFFERENTIAL

The industry’s only progressive auto-locking front differential that engages all wheels at any speed. It constantly monitors front wheel speed, and if it detects one wheel spinning faster than the other, it progressively sends more power to the wheel with better traction. The driver doesn’t have to do anything.
