Dynamic Power Steering – The Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) system is now available on all Can-Am Commander XT, X and Limited packages — for both the 800R and 976cc Rotax EFI powerplants — for 2013. Featuring specially calibrated settings for use in the Commander, DPS selects the appropriate amount of steering assistance for the current terrain conditions. DPS also includes
the Quicker-Engaging (QE) Visco-Lok front differential to improve the Commander side-by-side’s traction and abilities in slow-speed, technical terrain. The DPS used in the Commander models offers variable steering assistance and is engineered to offer less assist at high speed and more assist at low speed.

Commander DPS models
For 2013, the budget-friendly Commander 1000 DPS and 800R DPS models include power steering with Visco-Lok QE. Also, yellow plastic and 27-inch Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 on 14-inch cast aluminum wheels will also set the DPS models apart.

2013 Commander color options
TheCommander 800R and 1000 X models’ color themes have been updated for the new model year. The 800R is dressed in a redesigned yellow, black and white color schematic. TheCommander 1000 X will also be available in the same updated color, but will also come in an exclusive finish. To better announce its position in the Can-Am family as the performance king, the Commander 1000 X wears a striking Carbon Black, carbon-fiber finish to enhance its X package features.

New for 2013 is the White Pearl painted plastic for the luxurious Can-Am Commander 1000 Limited. Designed to provide improved scratch resistance, the new brighter white finish offers the perfect complement to the darker Pure Magnesium finish, which was carried over from last year.

For 2013, all standardCan-Am Commander side-by-side vehicles will now be available in red, as opposed to yellow. They will also be outfitted with new carbon-colored 12-inch steel wheels.

Can-Am enters the UTV market with a bang and their top-of-the-line Commander 1000 X is and incredible side x side vehicle right from the factory. With and industry leading 85 HP, Fox Racing Shox 2.0 RC2 shocks and beadlock wheels, it is ready to rip through the desert, dunes or rocks as it sits.

I was lucky enough to get to chances to drive the Can-Am Commander 1000 X before it was introduced to the public on June 8, 2010.  Once atLittle Sahara Sand Dunes and then in Montreal for the Media Intro.
