2016 Can-Am Commander MAX DPS 800R

[Timmi]

The 2016 Can-Am Commander side-by-side vehicle family offers off-road enthusiasts another package with the introduction of the new Commander MAX DPS 800R, the most affordable Can-Am Commander MAX package ever offered. The newest Commander MAX offers comfortable, stadium-style seating for four adults, a 30.3-inch (77 cm) longer wheelbase (compared to the two-seater) and unmatched comfort for the rear passengers. It also benefits from the revised 2016 break-in maintenance requirement, the Electronic Drive Belt Protection and comes in the attractive Viper Red.

The 71-hp liquid-cooled, 799.9 cc SOHC Rotax 800R V-twin powering the Commander MAX DPS 800R has four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 54 mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens fuel injectors. The sophisticated electronic fuel injection system automatically keeps the engine’s performance at its peak, regardless of temperature or altitude. The progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.

The Continuously Variable Transmission offers engine braking as well as High, Low, Park, Neutral and Reverse as well as new, easier access to the belt housing. The Electronic Drive Belt Protection monitors the CVT belt to determine its condition and alerting the driver when necessary. This device offers belt-spotting protection for when a driver is in high gear, but should be in low gear. The vehicle will not move and a “LOW GEAR” message will appear on the gauge, alerting the driver. The system is currently standard on all Commander MAX and available as optional function on almost all other Can-Am side-by-side vehicles.
Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC™)
The maintenance-free, throttle-by-wire system teams with the 54 mm Bosch throttle body to produce smooth throttle delivery even if the driver’s foot is bouncing due to the terrain. The Commander side-by-side has a selectable Sport mode, which offers a more linear throttle control for performance driving, and ECO™ mode for driving under normal use situations.

The Tri-Mode DPS system features three modes (MIN, MED and MAX) allowing riders to select the desired amount of steering assist for the terrain and performance. All modes offer less assist at high speed and more assist at low speed.
Visco-Lok QE
All DPS-equipped models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even quicker engagement of the front differential. It can lock up to 100% with no rev or speed limiter. This differential, unlike some competitor’s differentials, does not have a speed or rev limiter.
Torsional Trailing arms Independent (TTI) rear suspension
The TTI rear suspension allows the wheels to move rearward as they move up and down, producing a smooth ride. The durable rear end features 10 inches of travel (25.4 cm) and the large diameter rear, five-way preload-adjustable gas shocks for reduced fading.
Double A-arms front suspension
The Double A-arm suspension is precise in all situations and terrain types. The front end, which features 10 inches of travel (25.4 cm), has the large diameter front, five-way preload-adjustable gas shocks for overall durability and better fade resistance.
14-inch (35.6 cm) cast-aluminum wheels
The Commander DPS is outfitted with durable, silver-colored cast-aluminum wheels, for a unique look.
27-inch (68.6 cm) 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.
Disc brakes with hydraulic piston calipers
The Commander MAX vehicles use dual 220 mm ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic twin-piston calipers up front and 214 mm ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic single-piston calipers on the rear.
11-inch (27.9 cm) ground clearance
The Commander MAX side-by-side vehicle offers 11 inches (27.9 cm) of ground clearance for maximum performance for conquering challenging terrain.

Full bolster seats, complete with lumbar and shoulder support, offer segment-leading comfort. Adjustable fore and aft without the need of tools, the seats are designed to allow easy entry and exit of the machine. The automotive-type driver’s seat offers 6.3 inches (16 cm) of total adjustment. And when you complete your day’s work, the front seats are removable and freestanding so you can stay comfortable even around the campfire.
