February 18 – 20, 2011
The 2011 Dealernews International Dealer Expo is the largest powersports business event in the world, bringing together dealers, distributors, aftermarket parts and accessory companies and original equipment manufacturers in one place at one time each year for an unprecedented $145 million shopping experience. The 2011 event will be reinvented from the ground, up to provide an even more valuable and efficient show experience for its customers, including an all new visual design and 11 segmented marketplaces on the show floor, an all in one trade show all, and more learning and entertainment opportunities centered around distinct product and lifestyle categories.
My favorite UTV at the show has to be Warn’s new Can-Am Commander 1000. I have been following the build along on their Facebook page (www.facebook.com/WARNfans) and couldn’t wait to see the finished product.
The 2011 Can-Am Commander marked BRP’s entry into the side-by-side vehicle market, offering a blend of power and versatility tailored for both recreational and utility purposes. At its core, the Commander featured a 976cc V-twin, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 8-valve engine, delivering an impressive 85 horsepower, positioning it among the most powerful in its class at the time. The vehicle’s design incorporated a dual-level cargo box, enhancing its utility by allowing users to transport various loads efficiently. Additionally, the Commander was equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), providing seamless power delivery across diverse terrains. This inaugural model set a new benchmark in the side-by-side segment, reflecting Can-Am’s commitment to innovation and performance.
