not true at all... all racers in gncc xc and worxs mx leagues...especially the pro's said that when power steering came out on the can-am's.. we will never switch.. not enought feedback to the driver...

BUT after they all tryed it out.. everyone was sold.. now, NO ONE in the pro classes runs without power steering.. Can-am's power steering is designed a bit different ..it actually gives you feed back to your bars.. i know,... i had a 07 gade and no power steering..had a precsion steering stabilizer on it too.. even makes steering a bit harder but day and night with a stabilizer... now you dont need a stabilizer.. the power steering has it sort of built in.. myself with PS and an anti-vibe rizer along with the flex bars that are rubber mounted, my steering is like no other.. its the best you can get in a quad with these mods.... and that is in agreement with all the top contenders.

leaving things off of a quad the first year like PS and QE Visco is marketing games... watch next year! ... if they built a quad or sxs as the best of the best with all the options, then there would be nothing left to put on them the next year to make them better... first year is cool, if your going to do mods anyways but if you want all the factory bells and whistles you have to wait for a year or two to get it...
brp knows people can't wait so they sell this model now and then when PS comes out in it, along with QE Visco, they will then trade them in for the new model..

its all planned.. left off on purpose....

oh also i put a QE visco in my 2007 renegade and i had no PS but i did have a stabilizer... i had no problems at all with steering or heavy steering.. put 4000k on it with the QE before it got stolen...

Correct... I agree the power steering in the "QUADS" DOES give you feedback... BUT we are talking about a commander and a maverick.

T team, i see, your talkin about a mavrick or commander.. yes i can see it could be different but don't ya think that if brp puts the same PS on the machines that it would'nt work the same as the quads?
im just askin cause i would think it would be the same, No? you think it would be better with manual steering?

Yeah stupid of them not to put the QE and power steering on it, but the extra weight would have lost them the advertising wars...20 extra pounds would drop the power to weight ratio down below that of the XP, and it seems there are still one or two idiots out there who make their purchase decisions based on brochure specs.

I don't know about 20 extra lbs, but it would definitely drive the price of the machine up. And it's already pretty expensive.

So does anyone know if this will have a low range. Think I asked this already.... Also a trailer hitch just in case a guy does need to use it once in a blue moon for yard work. I realize the commander is better for that but this looks like a lot of fun and most likely going to get one in its second year
