With its innovative 2026 ATV and side-by-side (SSV) lineup, Can-Am has once again raised the bar for off-road innovation. The brand continues to combine power, technology, and versatility for all kinds of riders, from the first full-size production electric ATV to the brand’s brand-new, rock-crawling Maverick R X rc.
“The 2026 Can-Am Off-Road lineup introduces numerous industry-firsts that showcase our relentless pursuit of the ultimate rider experience,” says Julie Tourville, Director of Global Marketing at Can-Am Off-Road (BRP).
The 2026 Can-Am lineup has something specifically designed for all types of riders, including farmers, ranchers, outdoor adventurers, and thrill-seeking racers.

A new degree of comfort, control, and assurance is provided by the Smart-Shox system.
Rock-Crawling Dominance: The 2026 Can-Am Maverick R X rc
The 2026 Maverick R X RC takes performance to the next level, adding to the already legendary status of the Maverick R in desert racing. Constructed using knowledge gained from Can-Am’s 2025 King of the Hammers triumph, this SSV is designed to handle the most difficult terrain.
