“Receiving this honour is a substantial accomplishment for everyone at BRP,” stated Bernard Guy, vice-president, Sales and Marketing, Can-Am. “To have the Outlander 800R X mr ATV recognized for its unmatched engineering, industry-leading innovation and cutting-edge appearance is rewarding.

In 1999, the Traxter 500 ATV was the first BRP product to win the “ATV of the Year” award. The Outlander 400 (2003) and Outlander 650 (2006) models were also honoured with this award.
