2012 Can-Am Commander 1000 Limited Features and Benefits
85-hp Rotax 1000 engine
Liquid-cooled, 8-valve Rotax 976cc V-twin pumps out a class-leading 85 horsepower, yet is refined thanks to EFI and iTC.The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant features four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 54-mm Bosch‡ throttle body and two VDO Seimens‡ fuel injectors. The sophisticated electronic fuel injection system automatically keeps the engine's performance at its peak, regardless of temperature or altitude.*As per manufacturer's official MY11 declaration to the California Air Resources Board and based on mileage estimates from BRP internal testing.
Front and rear Air Control Suspension (ACS)
The ACS system uses FOX Racing Shox HPG piggyback shocks and an onboard compressor to allow the rider to choose on the fly from six preset preload levels. Front and rear can be adjusted independently. Includes a hose to fill tires or other items on the trail.
Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC)
iTC’s throttle-by-wire set up improves throttle response, smoothes power delivery and ensure precision throttle control even in the roughest of terrain. The Rotax engine uses a throttle-by-wire system for more accurate throttle response and a smooth power delivery. If the driver’s foot bounces on the gas pedal in rough terrain, iTC detects unwanted bounces and filters the input, resulting in more throttle accuracy, especially at low speed. It also reduces the number of moving parts in the vehicle; has no cable to adjust, lubricate, or replace; and the system has an increased life span.
4,000-lb WARN® winch with roller fairlead, wired remote control and integrated winch remote storage
BRP partnered with well-known off-road industry leader WARN to add its 4,000-lb winch to the Commander XT and LIMITED. BRP chose a premium WARN winch kit for the ultimate in performance and durability. Well respected in the off-road community, the WARN winch kit includes a roller fairlead, wired remote control and integrated winch remote storage.
Quick-ratio steering system (10.2:1)
A quicker steering ratio means more responsive handling with pinpoint accuracy and control. The steering ratio of the Can-Am Commander is 10.2:1. This translates to more accurate, responsive and precise control.
2-piece full hard roof
Two-piece roof comes standard with the Commander 1000 LIMITED model. Designed to be durable and attractive, our two-piece hard roof lets you customize your Commander LIMITED as you see fit. It also keeps you better protected from the elements and offers a unique look compared to stock.
Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
The Can-Am Commander's double A-arm front suspension is designed with dive-control geometry that works to eliminate diving under heavy breaking and rough terrain. The front end features 10 in. of travel (25 cm) and five-way preload-adjustable motion-control shocks.
Half windshield
The Commander 1000 LIMITED’s half windshield offers stylish protection without the airflow restriction of a full windshield. The half windshield creates a more stunning overall appearance. It also reduces the amount of trail debris reaching the cab, yet lets more air reach the occupants.
Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension with external sway bar
Exclusive to Can-Am, TTI eliminates scrub and camber changes by using proprietary geometry that places the pivot points ahead of the rear wheels. The Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension is the only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes. Because the pivot points are ahead of the wheels, the rear wheels pivot up and down, which ensures that the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. TTI has fewer parts than competitive designs and significantly decreases tire wear.
