Can-Am

After years of letting Polaris and Can-Am wrestle each other off the throne, Kawasaki is punching its way into the high-powered side-by-side battle with a beastly new supercharged machine. It will be something of a four-wheeled Ninja H2.

Side-by-side utilities (aka UTVs) are fun and useful machines. Add on Can-Am Apache tank tracks for the snow, though, and they gain a whole new season of usefulness. I went to Utah to find out how.

2025 is here and as is the case with every new year, there’s plenty happening in the world of motorcycles. There are quite a few motorcycle launches lined up for the new year, and sure enough, there are some cool ones to look out for.

The Outlander 850 and 1000R, the largest of Can-Am’s ATVs, are new for 2025, with changes from headlights to tail lamps. I traveled to the rocky high elevations of British Columbia to climb mountains on these new Outlander models.

Can-Am may be a name associated with four-wheel utility vehicles and moto-trikes, but the brand began by making two-wheelers. Now Can-Am Motorcycles is back for the electric transport age with the launch of the 2025 Pulse and Origin.

The Defender is a utility item with almost no frills. Like pickups from the 1970s, the 2024 Can-Am Defender offers no creature comforts, little in the way of electronic technology, and nearly everything about it is form derived from function.

Can-Am has unveiled a new side-by-side (SSV) model, the Maverick R. The two-seat vehicle brings several new features to the Can-Am SSV space, including a new engine, transmission, and suspension geometry.

It's flat-out silly season in the world of high-performance side-by-sides, with Can-Am announcing the most powerful supersport UTV in the production gasoline market. The new Maverick X3 X Turbo RR machines now make a touch under 200 hp, and by golly they'll go a bit.

Side-by-sides like the Can-Am Maverick have opened the door for a new type of off-road fun. Power has never been an issue for the Maverick, but that hasn't stopped Can-Am from boosting the Maverick X Turbo with the more powerful, range-topping Turbo R.​​​

The latest four-seater in Can-Am's lineup, the Maverick X3 Max relies on a stretched wheelbase, trophy truck-inspired suspension and 154-hp turbocharged engine to get the heart thumping and skin goose-bumping as it devours terrain at speed.

They’re expensive, but quirky weekend toys open the door to a world of fun beyond what cars can offer. BRC, parent to Can-Am and Seadoo, has been busy keeping its lineup of weekend warriors fresh and ready for fun, unleashing a new Can-Am Spyder and Maverick alongside an updated Sea-Doo Spark.

The new Can-Am Spyder F3-S has what the company is calling a Sports mode feature that allows riders to drift, and is meant to turn riding through twisties into a more exciting experience.​
