CAN-AM OUTLANDER 800R X MR ATV NAMED 2011 ‘ATV OF THE YEAR’ BY ATV MAGAZINE
Valcourt, Québec, August 23, 2011 – ATV Magazine, a Minnesota-based
off-road publication named the Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr ATV as its 2011 “ATV
of the Year.” This is the fifth time BRP's Can-Am ATV has received the
prestigious award.
“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. It’s the perfect form of encouragement for all the dedicated work
put in by our design, engineering and marketing teams as they work together to
produce Can-Am ATVs that continue to lead the marketplace.”
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. ATV Magazine’s sister publication, ATV Sport,
also recognized the Can-Am DS 450 as the 2008 “Sport Quad of the Year.” The
2010 Can-Am Renegade 800R X xc ATV was last year's recipient. 
“This is a
perfect example of a high-tech, purpose-built machine designed for a very
specific audience of competitive mud enthusiasts, and proof that a manufacturer
that pays attention to individual segments of the ATV market can build
something truly incredible,” stated Tom Kaiser, ATV Magazine Managing Editor.
