I really don’t see BRP / Can Am doing anything more than minor changes / color changes. They know the model sells, why do anything more than minor tweaks? Plus the fact that they’re not exactly getting the ‘23 model line out the door quickly enough doesn’t bode well for major changes, IMO. We’ll have to wait and see.

 

We wont be hearing about anything until this summer. They can barely get 23s out the door let alone produce a whole new model. While i would absolutely love to see a next generation x3, i have a feeling we wont hear any rumours about it til the end of 24

 

I don't think BRP has any choice but to release something new soon.

The Turbo R is a much more capable machine. The two major drawbacks are the lack of punch on the throttle. Overall HP is good but not snappy when pulling out of a corner or transitions at the dunes. The other is and this is just being honest, it's UGLY AF!

Now with that said the one finger steering and the live valve shocks are light years ahead of an X3. The heaving duty chassis and suspension components are much better than an X3.

The reason BRP pulled ahead is because Polaris was complacent and now BRP needs to get serious.

This is the year they finally change to suspension springs that don't continuously sag on a $30k+ machine....
And new stickers... its all about innovation

 

nope, not going to happen. Even polaris does the same chit year after year.

 

Well let’s not forget Speed is Heads & Tails about them all Can Am has got to pick it up 🥴

Love opening the attachment....... LOL 🤣

Oops! We ran into some problems.

 

my opinion, not much will change for 24, if anything. they have a good machine now and will continue to run with it. it is a great trail width (64") machine and outruns anything else in the class.

i think they will do updates on the commander and the mav trail/sport first. get a little more hp in those machines and lend themselves to that side of the cross over market. It is the newer chassis and is still a bit of a work in progress, imagine a 120hp commander- that would be perfect. i still cant believe they didnt put the ace in that chassis instead of the v twin. so much potential and wasted it on the 700 and 1000. oh well... if it had that kind of hp and engine potential, i would be in that instead of my defender. if im going to have the v twin, i might as well have a full box and such to go with it.

id like to see what the actual sales volume is for each one and how many x3s are actually sold compared to the rest. if the x3 is really still the king of the fleet or if any of those are getting closer. i see a lot of cross over machines in wi and not as many x3/rzr s turbos around.

They posted this not even an hour ago. I wonder what is going to be announced.

 

New ATV? 😴

 

i wouldnt put it passed them to put the premium skidoo gauge in, it has the gps, skidoo go app, and phone integration in it. that would likely be the biggest change and wouldnt be terrible, other than that the integration hasnt been all that great with the phones and the mapping isnt super great.

That would be nice I wouldn't think it would be too difficult to carry it over to the X3.

I think someone mentioned 2023 is Can-Ams 50th Anniversary so surely they'll surprise us with something later this year lol

 

I could be wrong, but Can Am usually announces new SXS models in the summer.

There is a new model coming and hopefully before the end of the year.

 

That would be awesome if i could buy the new ski doo dash for my 22 x3 if they decide to release it…

 

a new ATV? they already jacked up the prices on the outlanders. did they redesign the renegade?

 

Maybe a sport model. Except for the Yamaha YFZ450 and 700 Raptor, there aren’t any. Would be nice to see something.

i was also thinking about it and thought maybe a new ds450 or something is in the works. that would be neat, i wonder how big that market is these days? i feel like the sport machines really died quickly back in 2007-2009. it would be cool to see them come back again... would anyone jump back to a sport machine that has a sxs now??

i wouldnt jump back... my body thanks me every time i get in my x3 instead of hopping on my 400ex.

Sport ATV market is pretty dead. Yamaha is the only one making anything.

 

Looking at and attending WORCS and GNCC ATV racing is making a return. Entry numbers prove that. If BRP makes a move to the sport quad class introduce a model at a very affordable price like they did with the Sea doo spark.

 

Agree! Sea Doo Spark was very similar to the old SeaDoo XPs of the mid 90s. That boat revolutionized PWC racing. I loved that boat! BRP has to see there is a niche for sport ATVs. Hopefully, they put one out.

 

"Oooh, they have to do something to keep up in the dunes". 95% of the country don't care about the dunes. Polaris sells more Rangers than anything else.

 

That's agreed, BUT...the manufacture with the top flagship gets the perceived public moniker of being the best UTV.

The dunes are a huge part of showing off the top of line flagship.

Its just like Motocross used to be and NASCAR in the early 70's. Win on Sunday and sell on Monday.

Obviously KOH has the same effect.

Camp Gayzor in Glamis draws big publicity for Polaris showing off the sport models.

On a side note, "DUNE ENVY" has been a proven thing by fact checkers from Facepalm and the DNC for several years now. 😂

It's not the 1970's anymore lol

 

When I saw my BRP rep back in Jan he said there was a Ski-Doo and ATV dealer meeting in a few weeks and that some kind of wicked ATV was coming out but he didnt know what.

2024 MY will mark 50 year anniversary for BRP as a whole so I would expect something in the fall. I think I know where that meeting is being held but nothing rock solid yet...

 

The ATV industry IMO is in a bit of a fickle market being so many larger property owners are switching to UTV's.
Same with off road trail, dirt and mud riders.
Sand/desert riders to the sports SXS/UTV etc....
Not sure of the actural niche at this point in time.

 

we had an outlander before our sport max, and my whole family loved it. My special needs little girl would run down the stairs whenever she heard the quad fire up in the garage. I wouldn't mind another one, but knowing they don't trail ride like a sxs is kind of keeping me away from getting another one down the road. But i believe it would get rode less than ours did (less than 700 miles in 3 years of ownership)

 

Funny how Yamaha ruled for some time with the Banchi and the Raptors 660 and the Rhino

I can only Guess who will dominate the next round of development

It’s kinda like MLB owners NY & SD one wants to win every game the others only want to spend enough to fill the ball park to make money ( Money Ball )

 

I used and abused my ATV's on the property for years, both for utility and having my sled dogs pull them for training 1000-2000 miles every year before hitting the snow.

There were only two brands that were reliable with me....... #1 Honda, always fired with the hit of the switch. #2 Yamaha.
Suzuki and Kawasaki, I always had problems with.

I still have an 02 Honda 4Trax and 06 Yamaha 660 Grizzly along with a 2021 Honda Pioneer 700 UTV. .........And my old reliable '92 YZ250 race bike.

 

Have to agree with you about the reliability of the older Honda's. Had a 95 300 Fourtrax 4x4 I absolutely beat the living hell out of. That bike - *four wheeled horseless carriage vehicle I rode from the drivers position, deserves some respect. The 98 Foreman we got later was still tough, but the headlight/monitor didn't hold up to being rolled over very well. Awhile later we picked up a Rhino when they came into existence and it wasn't long before the four wheelers got sold off. It was just better and more comfortable and far more useful for farm chores. Since then the farm added a gator, replaced the Rhino for a fuel injected version, a Razor *sold, A Maverick *sold, and 3 X3's.

 

I’m down for something like this

 

Kids at work talking about the new ski doo line up... Short of wearing my Googles, does anyone have any good news in the Can Am bracket of things?

 

the high end models should get the new 10.25 touch screen dash

 

X3’s will get the new dash? Anything else?
