Can-Am Commander 1000 LE
BRP’s luxurious Commander 1000 Limited offers the most style and
prestige of any Can-Am side-by-side, and any side-by-side in the
industry. Add in the new, sophisticated Pure Magnesium painted or
Orbital Blue painted plastic, 85-horsepower 976cc Rotax engine and
other premium upgrades and this Commander is truly supreme. We also
took comfort and convenience to the next level with the 1000 Limited
by adding proven accessories — WARN® winch, Garmin® GPS, Air-Control
Fox Racing Shox® — so your side-by-side not only looks good, but
performs to your strict standards.
Incorporating all of our innovative Commander DNA and based off
the Commander XT platform, the 1000 Limited includes an
industry-leading Air Control Suspension, which allows for up to six
pre-set custom suspension levels for the high pressure gas shocks.
To adjust both the front and rear suspension levels to suit trail
conditions or load, simply select the desired amount of preload
pressure and drive away in comfort. The Limited’s offers a
distinguished appearance thanks to its two-piece hard roof, half
windshield, fender mudguards, rear net and innovative dual-level
cargo box with integrated rails.
BRP doesn’t stop there, however. The Commander Limited also comes
from the factory with a premium sounds system complete with four
speakers, AM/FM weather-resistant stereo and portable music player
integration. Ride in style and entertain as the Limited will be the
center of attention. A roof comes standard as well, completing the

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
Rotax 1000 EFI V-Twin engine
The Rotax 1000 80º V-twin is the most powerful rec-utility side-by-side engine
in the industry*. The 85-horsepower, liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power
plant features four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 54mm 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. A throttle-by-wire system that works in conjunction
with the 54mm Bosch throttle body to produce smooth throttle delivery even if
one’s foot is bouncing due to the terrain. The iTC system detects unwanted
bounces and filters the input, resulting in more throttle accuracy, especially
at low speed.
This system also reduces the number of moving parts in the vehicle; requires no
maintenance; has no cables to adjust, lubricate, or replace; and the system has
an increased life span.
 Air
Control Suspension (ACS) with Fox Racing Shox HPG piggyback shocks
Can-Am engineers and designers outfitted our distinguished Commander 1000
Limited with a premier Air Control System and premium Fox Racing Shox-built
high-pressure gas shocks. The shocks, which are tuneable to supply 10 inches
(25.4cm) of suspension travel up front and 10 inches (25.4cm) in the rear. The
Air Control Suspension has six pre-set custom suspension levels to tune the
high-pressure gas shocks for load hauling and trail conditions. Simply select
the desired amount of preload pressure (1 through 6) via the LCD display and
gauge and get to work. An air hose that attaches to the compressor is included
so you can add air to tires during a trail ride.
A double A-arm front suspension design features up front dive-control geometry,
which works to eliminate diving under heavy braking and rough terrain. By
controlling vehicle dive, the Can-Am Commander handling is more precise in all
situations and terrain types. At the rear, the trailing arm design provides
excellent control and stability, especially in rough terrain by eliminating
scrub. Wheels move rearward as they move up and down producing a smoother ride
than the competition, and the side-by-side does not waver down the trail. Plus,
TTI has 75 percent fewer parts than competitive designs and significantly
decreases tire wear.
4000-pound Warn winch
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.
Two-piece full hard roof
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.
 Half
windshield
The half windshield in the Can-Am Commander Limited creates a more
stunning overall appearance. It also reduces the amount of trail
debris reaching the cab, yet lets more air reach the occupants.
Heavy-duty front bumper
Factory installed, the heavy-duty front bumper on the Can-Am
Commander 1000 Limited is completely covered by the factory
warranty. It also offers added protection and gives piece of mind in
rugged conditions.
Dual-level cargo box with cargo box rails
Along with a more rugged appearance, the cargo box rails provide
additional locations to attach tie-downs for cargo carrying.
The Commander Limited features the Can-Am’s industry-exclusive
dual-level cargo box with two levels separated by a removable,
water-tight panel. It offers the possibility to have an upper and a
lower bed with an independent tailgate. The box has a 600-pound
(272kg) total carrying capacity (400 lbs. upper; 200 lbs. lower) and
has the most volume capacity in the market.
 Rear
net
The addition of rear net expands upon the Commander Limited’s
exclusive looks. The rear net acts an open-air cover for the rear of
the ROPS-approved cab and featured the Can-Am logo.
Mudguards
Mudguards were added to the Can-Am Commander 1000 Limited’s wheel
wells to enhance its look and to improve mud protection for the
driver and passenger.
14-inch (35.6cm) cast-aluminum wheels with “limited” finish
New 14-inch, cast-aluminum wheels are extremely strong, yet
lightweight and feature a Limited-specific finish for an exclusive
look. Computer optimization has helped build durability and reduce
weight by eliminating any unnecessary material.
 27-inch
(66cm) Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tires
A proven name in the off-road industry, the Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 tire
features a tough, six-ply radial construction, yet is lightweight to
cut down on unsprung weight. The non-directional lug pattern
provides predictable cornering, yet is aggressive enough to supply
maximum traction for conquering roots, ruts, rocks and more.
 Removable
Limited seats
The Can-Am Commander Limited has full-size seats with an integrated
headrest, side padding and a design specific to only this
side-by-side. The removable setup means you can always have
comfortable seating, whether you’re in the cab or sitting around the
campfire. The driver’s seat is also adjustable fore and aft without
the need of tools; it is an automotive style adjustment for 6.3
inches (16cm) of total adjustment.
Custom steering wheel
The custom steering wheel inside the Commander Limited is wrapped in
leather and has a center section with brushed aluminum finish.
Pure Magnesium or Orbital Blue painted plastic
New for 2012 is the eye-catching Pure Magnesium painted plastic. It
joins Orbital Blue as an optional Limited color. This method of
production ensures the plastic retains its finish and is more
scratch resistant.
Analog / digital gauge
The gauge package on the Can-Am Commander 1000 Limited has been
upgraded over the base model to include state-of-the-art
instrumentation. This includes an analog tachometer and speedometer
combined with an advanced digital information center.
 Garmin
GPS
Can-Am added a premium Garmin Montana 650t touch-screen Global
Positioning System (GPS) to make exploration more enjoyable and
simpler. It offers a fully interactive program and a full-color
screen to enhance your experience. Sound system with four speakers,
iPod/iPhone connector and controls
To further improve your off-road riding experience and give the
Commander Limited another form of functionality, Can-Am engineers
added a four-speaker sound system that’s compatible with most major
portable music players (including the iPod), and offers a USB port
and an auxiliary input.
