The Defender Prerunner, a 6x6 configuration based on the Defender platform, serves as a specialized race support vehicle. Outfitted with 35-inch tires and a trophy-truck-inspired storage bed, it is engineered for the high-stakes logistics of events like King of the Hammers. Conversely, the Maverick R XRay targets dune culture, featuring a translucent, backlit exoskeleton and a custom 2-wheel drive layout that allows for dynamic lighting displays.
Can-Am Unveils Concept Builds as It Commits to Rapid Innovation Cycle
Can-Am has pulled back the curtain on two experimental side-by-side vehicles, the Defender Prerunner and the Maverick R XRay, signaling a shift in its development strategy. Beyond these prototypes, the brand confirmed a commitment to delivering major off-road product announcements every six months for the next four years.
While neither vehicle is slated for mass production, they function as design laboratories for BRP, the parent company of Can-Am. Sandy Scullion, President of Powersports at BRP, stated that these builds underscore a focus on securing the brand's position as the leading global manufacturer in the off-road segment. By leveraging these concepts to engage their community, the company aims to test new aesthetic and functional architectures that will inform future consumer models.
