Valcourt, Quebec, Canada June 30, 2020<\/i><\/b> \u2013 BRP (TSX: DOO; NASDAQ: DOOO) and its lineup of Can-Am Off-Road vehicles have been on a roll recently, leading the performance off-road world. But never one to take success for granted on and off the track, Can-Am is about to push the boundaries even further with the introduction of Smart-Shox technology, available on the highly anticipated Can-Am Maverick X3 X rs Turbo RR for 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart-Shox technology is an industry-first, fully self-adjustable suspension technology for superior performance, control and comfort. It is the only suspension in the industry that controls both compression and rebound for enhanced precision, delivering superior ride and handling, no matter the terrain or conditions. Even better? Shock adjustments are a thing of the past \u2013 now drivers can dominate at the touch of a button.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re a pro or a weekend warrior, this technology will make your rides better,\u201d says Casey Currie, winner of the 2020 Dakar Rally in a Can-Am Maverick X3. \u201cSmart-Shox is one of those game-changing innovations that brings a smile to my face knowing I\u2019ll have a competitive advantage over anything else out there. With Smart-Shox, the Maverick X3 sticks to the ground in a way I\u2019ve never experienced, and I can\u2019t wait to get out and race.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There are three major benefits to Smart-Shox semi-active suspension technology:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/b>1. Enhanced Performance<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The system constantly monitors wheel position and velocity for improved shock absorption and filtering, acting on both compression and rebound. It is the only system in the industry with rebound, and it also has the industry\u2019s fastest valve reaction time \u2013 Smart-Shox can go all the way from full soft to full firm in an average of seventeen milliseconds (0.017s).<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this mean? Better tracking of the ground surface for increased traction. Better launches. More comfort on undulating terrain. And the feeling you\u2019re truly connected to the ground as lesser machines struggle to keep up.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>2. Better Control<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Smart-Shox technology makes real-time automatic suspension adjustments, improving vehicle stability and providing excellent control with flatter cornering. It reduces front and rear bouncing, while minimizing vehicle body movement, adjusting automatically to any type of terrain after selecting a driving mode: Comfort, Sport, or Sport+.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do you care? Significantly improved stability means high performance with high confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>3. More Comfort<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Smart-Shox technology is all about maximum performance and comfort, providing both soft and hard damping advantages at the same time, per wheel, instantaneously. Even bottom-out and topping-out protection is factored into the automatic calibration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why does it matter? Experts need not apply: just get in and drive, and reap all the benefits while the system does all the work. It also means less mechanical stress, with reduced impact loads on key components. And beyond that, the improved ride quality means less rider fatigue, so you don\u2019t have to think twice about extending epic days.<\/span><\/p>\n
