DPS 4x4 UTV
|
New for 2013, the Commander 1000 DPS
includes BRP’s exclusive Visco-Lok
QE front differential. This model will
be
available in Can-Am yellow and feature
larger wheels and tires.
Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)
Calibrated specifically for use in the
Commander side-by-side, BRP’s DPS
system offers variable steering assistance
and is designed to offer less assist at
high speed and more assist at low speed.
This technology also includes a Direct
Link setup hat uses advanced magnetic
field sensors for faster response to steering
input than competitive technology, which
then minimizes steering lag. Less kickback
and more trail feedback is supplied to
the operator because of the 50:1 final
gear
ratio, which is the largest in the industry.
A high-capacity 50-amp motor means the
DPS will never fade with heavy use and
all DPS-equipped models also come with
the Visco-Lok QE.
Visco-Lok QE
All DPS-equipped models come with the
Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even
quicker engagement of the front differential.
It progressively transfers power from
a slipping front wheel to the gripping
one – automatically with no buttons
to push or levers to pull. Plus, there’s
no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the
system is totally transparent to the driver
and extremely easy to steer. Can lock
up to 100 percent with no rev or speed
limiter. This differential, unlike some
competitor’s differentials, does
not have a speed or rev limiter. DPS and
Visco-Lok QE, when, combined, improve
handling and performance
in slow-speed technical terrain
27-inch (60.6cm) Maxxis Bighorn
2.0 tires
Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires feature a rugged
six-ply radial construction, yet are lightweight
to cut down on unsprung weight. The non-directional
tires absorb the terrain for a smooth
ride and provide predictable cornering.
They’re also very capable climbing
and clawing across roots, rocks and other
tough terrain.
14-inch (35cm) Cast aluminum
wheels
Strong-yet-lightweight and fashionable
larger 14-inch, cast-aluminum wheels give
the Commander 1000 with DPS a
unique look over the standard Commander
1000 model.
Color Option
The Commander 1000 DPS will include yellow
plastic for 2013.
