Can-Am
Renegade 800 |
Valcourt, Canada (11/8/06) - In its
racing debut in the Best in the Desert series Las Vegas
300, a 300-mile desert race, BRP's Can-Am™ Renegade™
extreme-terrain quad took second place in the Pro class.
Can-Am X-Team/Epic racers Josh Frederick and Anthony
Baker finished the challenging event in 4 hours and
29 minutes.
The Renegade model is the world’s first extreme-terrain
vehicle, delivering the performance and edge of a
sport quad with the capability of a 4x4 quad. The
first of the highly-anticipated 2007 Renegade quads
will be rolling into dealerships in early December.
"This was a great event for us, we went there
intending to shake down the Renegade we will use in
the Baja 1000 and came away with a podium finish”
said Bernard Guy, ATV Marketing Director.
“The Renegade was just the right vehicle,”
said Frederick. “You had the power of the Rotax®
800 H.O. EFI engine and control of the RS-Type independent
suspensions, although the sloppy conditions kept us
from reaching top speeds and really letting the Rotax
V-Twin breath.”
The Renegade quad mates the best features of the
award-winning Outlander™ 800 H.O. EFI recreation-utility
model with a host of performance equipment such as
race-tuned long-travel front and rear suspensions,
and high pressure gas [HPG] shocks. It is 42 pounds
(19 kg) lighter than the Outlander 800 H.O. EFI model
for great acceleration and precise handling.
