History of Can-Am® Powersports
Can-Am Powersports began as a branch of a larger company known as Bombardier Recreational Products. That company was launched in 1942 by Joseph-Armand Bombardier. He was a true innovator constantly working to improve his products and company. He is most known for accomplishing the first successful creation and test of a snowmobile.

When Can-Am launched, it focused on the motorcycle world. They built motocross dirt bikes designed to take home the gold. Many racers rode Can-Am vehicles to victory over the years. Eventually, the company expanded and developed new products such as Can-Am ATVs and Can-Am side by sides.

But it wasn't enough to simply develop new products. The company aimed higher and focused on innovating them. In the 1990s, they developed Can-Am ATVs with TTI rear suspension. The unique design utilized two independent pivot points, which led to huge improvements in rider comfort.

In 2002, Can-Am became the first company to build a manufacturer-approved ATV able to hold two passengers. It boasted a cutting-edge suspension system, which meant the extra weight didn't negatively impact performance.

In 2002, they released the Can-Am Commander. It became a line of Can-Am side by sides that are still the most versatile to date. Powered by the 85-hp Rotax® 1000 V-Twin engine, it can push through all types of terrain. It also boasts a dual-level cargo box for convenient storage.

While the company started in motorcycles, it didn't take long for them to branch out and conquer other products too. Today, Can-Am ATVs and Can-Am side by sides are known to be top of the line. From a humble beginning, this company became a titan of its industry.
