2023 /PRNewswire/ - Can-Am, a brand of BRP Inc.
(TSX:DOO) (NASDAQ:DOOO), recently unveiled its product news for

Snapshots: Highlights of a Busy
Year for Can-Am
50th Anniversary
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of
Can-Am, which has pushed the limits of convention with passion,
creativity, and a rebellious attitude since the very beginning. It
started with winning the International Six Day Enduro and motocross
championships, and has evolved to the introduction of the Can-Am
ATV (all terrain vehicle), innovative Can-Am 3-wheel vehicle lineup
and award-winning Can-Am side-by-side vehicles. Can-Am has always
done things its own way, and that will hold true well into the
future.
2023 International Female Ride Day
With the largest female ownership in the on-road riding industry at
34 percent[1], and more than 18,000 members
in its WOOR (Women Of On-Road) Facebook group, Can-Am continues to
change the face of riding and open the road to women. As part of
that, each May, Can-Am participates in International Female Ride
Day (IFRD), bringing women from all over the world together to
celebrate those who live for the thrill of the ride. This year,
Can-Am organized multiple rides around the globe with hundreds of
participants riding Can-Am 3-wheel vehicles and celebrating the
power and freedom of riding.
The Shoe Surgeon Collaboration
Can-Am continues to bring more people into riding by appealing to
different audiences. One example of that is the brand's
collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon. The result is three custom
Can-Am Ryker 3-wheel vehicles along with three styles of
Can-Am-inspired riding shoes each pushing the limits of creativity,
following themes of "inclusivity," "heritage," and "the love of the
ride." Ultimately, the vehicles will be used to help raise
awareness and money toward fighting intimidation and influencing
positive behavior, which is BRP's global social cause. Click HERE

Surgeon.
Can-Am 3-Wheel Retail Update
Can-Am 3-wheel continues to grow, with market share gains of 20
percentage points over the last three years in North America, with retail sales more than
doubling in the last four years. New riders make up a significant
portion, as 61 percent of recent Can-Am owners are new to the
3-wheel category, and 40 percent of recent Can-Am owners are new to
the On-Highway segment (2-wheel or 3-wheel).
Looking Ahead: EV Introductions,
including Can-Am Pulse and Origin Electric Motorcycles
BRP is committed to offering electric options in all its
existing product lines. A roll-out of EV models is planned over the
next few years, with the last product introduction now expected
before the end of 2027 instead of 2026 as originally planned.
Furthermore, BRP has announced the upcoming launch of new
electric categories, including the return of Can-Am on 2-wheel
motorcycles with the all-electric Can-Am Pulse and Origin. The
product development team is making solid progress, and the
construction of the plant in Querétaro is well underway. Can-Am
plans to release all specs of these two models and start taking
orders next summer, with the first Can-Am motorcycles expected to
hit the road before the end of 2024. In the meantime, the team is
conducting testing in all possible usage conditions. Early feedback
from test riders is that both of these exciting new models deliver
a powerful, smooth, and thrilling riding experience.
