Product Key Takeaways
BRP sustained its momentum in driving innovation with the launch of several industry-firsts and breakthrough, purposeful products.
BRP is expanding its global electric powersports offering with the launch of the all-new 2026 Can-Am Outlander Electric. The electric all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is powered by the same in-house, modular Rotax E-Power powerpack as the Ski-Doo and Lynx electric snowmobiles launched in 2023 and the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin electric motorcycles launched in 2024.
Can-Am is changing the utility and recreational side-by-side landscape with the next generation of its Can-Am Defender. The iconic workhorse receives a ground-up overhaul, further solidifying its position as one of the most capable, versatile and reliable utility-recreational side-by-side vehicles (SSV) on the market.
Can-Am is also breaking new ground in the rest of its off-road lineup with the launch of the Outlander MAX 6x6, the Maverick R X rc and the first ATV with semi-active suspension.
On the road, Can-Am is refining the riding experience with fresh colors, more than 250 innovative accessories and new product offerings on the Can-Am Spyder, Ryker and Canyon.
Sea-Doo is ramping up personal watercraft (PWC) connectivity and boosting horsepower on its Switch pontoons. The intuitive 10.25" touchscreen is now standard equipment on the 2026 RXT-X, FishPro Trophy, Wake Pro and Explorer Pro, while the 300 hp Rotax 1630 ACE engine and a larger fuel tank are now available on certain 18' and 21' Sea-Doo Switch models.

Launching the Responsible Rider Masterclass for Dealers
BRP believes that elevating customers' experience with the fundamentals of safe and responsible riding, along with protecting our playgrounds, is key to ensuring the future of powersports, and its dealer network is at the heart of this mission.
The Responsible Rider Masterclass is a free series of online training that aims to empower riders of the global powersports community to ride safely and responsibly, to look out for each other and to safeguard trails and playgrounds. Developed in partnership with Tread Lightly!, a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting responsible outdoor recreation, the program first launched in early 2025 for riders worldwide.
At Club BRP 2026, BRP expanded this movement with the launch of a dealer-specific edition of the Responsible Rider Masterclass. Tailored to the business reality of BRP's dealers and distributors, these 15-minute courses cover Off-Road, Water and On-Road playgrounds, with Snow coming soon. They provide practical tools for dealer teams to drive up their customer experience, strengthen their expertise, and reinforce their leadership role in responsible recreation. By embracing the Responsible Rider Masterclass, both riders and dealers are joining forces to protect long-term access to trails, waterways and playgrounds, while building a stronger future for powersports.
