To help improve throttle control, Can-Am has also
added its new Intelligent Throttle Control system
(iTC), which is a throttle-by-wire system that works
in conjunction with the 54mm Bosch throttle body.
It is designed to produce smooth throttle delivery
even if your foot is bouncing due to rough terrain.
The iTC system can detect unwanted bouncing and it
filters the input, which allows more throttle accuracy,
especially at low speed.
“I was very impressed with the “Intelligent
Throttle Control System”,” stated Harold
Goodman. “In normal mode, it took out all the
throttle bounce from my foot bouncing in the rough stuff
and in performance mode, it provided better throttle
response without getting too much throttle bounce.”
The suspension of the Commander line is impressive.
The handling is great and works better than any of
the competitor’s machines. The steering is responsive
and the Carlisle Black Rock tires performed well under
normal riding conditions, but for more aggressive
riding, they can be a bit unpredictable and allow
the UTV to fish tale rather uncontrollably.

The
upgraded suspension paired with the Maxxis
Big Horn 2.0 Tires on the Commander XT Package
Models made a huge difference in the handling
on the trails & we felt extremely confident
in pushing the Commander to its limits
|
However, the next model we tested was the Commander
800R XT and the Maxxis Bighorn tires that come with
that package worked amazingly well. With the addition
of those tires, it made the Commander feel more controllable
and very predictable in aggressive riding situations,
which in turn, inspired confidence and comfort with
the unit, and made us feel like there was nothing
this machine could not handle.

The Can-Am Commander comes in a base model or you can
upgrade to the Commander 800R XT package, which we highly
recommend. The XT package offers a 4,000 pound winch,
26” Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires on 14” cast
aluminum wheels. It also offers an analog/digital gauge,
heavy duty front bumper, rugged bed rails, mud guards,
and a leather steering wheel. This XT package comes
in yellow or a new industry exclusive NEXT G-1 Vista
camouflage.
