Size matters for Can-Am at the Royal Highland Show
According to statistics from the Agricultural Engineers Association ( AEA ), in the last 10 years there has been a 33 per cent increase in the number of 400cc to 499cc utility all-terrain vehicles ( ATVs ) sold in the UK . This increase reflects the fact that users now require vehicles that are more versatile and capable of handling the increasing weights that are being towed and moved around their farms .
A ligning with this demand , at the 2018 Royal Highland Show in Area Agri on Avenue T stand 32 , BRP ( Bombardier Recreational Products ) will be showcasing its Can-Am Outlander 450 base and Can-Am Outlander 450 PRO models , designed to maximise the comfort , capability , versatility , reliability and efficiency of its smaller horsepower bikes . The BRP representatives will highlight the benefits of the vehicles including fuel efficiency , towing and carrying capacities , power and performance , which will make users ' work lives easier .
The Can-Am Outlander 450 base and Can-Am Outlander 450 PRO are powered by a 38-hp single-cylinder , liquid-cooled Rotax 450 four-stroke engine and will form the centre piece of the workhorse agricultural ATVs and Side by Side vehicles ( SSVs ) on display . Other vehicles will include the rugged Can-Am Outlander 6x6 650 and a selection of vehicles from the tough , capable and clever Can-Am Traxter range .
Paul Wood , BRP commercial and network development manager UK and ROI , says , “ We consider the Royal Highland Show to be a key event within our calendar , as it attracts a wideranging selection of consumers . It also provides us with the opportunity to meet with new and existing customers to find out their requirements , which are constantly evolving year on year , and to see how we can assist them with the quads we have available within the Can-Am off-road line-up . This year , we have decided that the focus for our stand will be the 400cc to 499cc models within our range , as it is a market segment that has seen continued growth within the UK and we believe that we have the vehicles and expertise available to capitalise on this and increase our overall market share within it .” Can-Am Outlander 450 and 570
