Advex Helmet
The Advex helmet is designed for comfort and functionality. Its advanced safety features and innovative communications system has created a design that allows trail riders to have a seamless experience and feel the synergy with their vehicle, gear and accessories. Adventurers can enjoy long days on the trail with a lighter helmet with a flexible face fitting ergonomic barrier, including cutting-edge humidity management for greater visibility and comfort. The contemporary design also offers an immersive and wide field of view. The Vibe communication system is fully integrated, allowing riders to interact with passengers or fellow riders and follow GPS instructions, greatly enhancing the experience and providing an increased sense of safety.

Lynx Adventure Electric
In 2024, Lynx introduced its first electric snowmobile: the Adventure Electric. This model enables an emissions-free winter adventure and offers a unique ride that is inviting for first timers to experience the world of snowmobiling and enjoy winter like never before. Powered by proprietary Rotax E-Power technology, this snowmobile is designed and purpose-built exclusively for Uncharted Society experience outfitters and tour operators, with features, power and range optimized for guided snowmobile excursions of up to 50 km.

Can-Am Outlander Pro
The new Can-Am Outlander Pro redefines what it is to be a true workhorse. Built on a solid foundation, the design teams worked tirelessly to integrate the needs of all riders by optimizing the vehicle for durability, power and most of all, storage flexibility. The Outlander Pro acts as a blank canvas, whereupon riders can integrate as many accessories as their needs require. Every nook and cranny in the vehicle can be used to add or remove accessories with ease, allowing drivers to use the Outlander Pro for the full range of tasks they need to complete in their day, and this, in all conditions and seasons. The powerful Rotax engine makes the vehicle fun to ride and improved ergonomics make the ride more comfortable for those long work days. Removable components make the vehicle easy to maintain, giving drivers a greater sense of confidence and safety when on a job site.

Can-Am Maverick R
Every detail of the new Can-Am Maverick R was thoroughly scrutinized in the design and engineering process to ensure an unmatched rider experience. The result is balance, comfort, quality, practicality and performance. Its cutting-edge interior creates an immersive driver-centric experience with precision ergonomics and 10.25in digital touchscreen display for maximum visibility and control. The tall-knuckle suspension design prioritizes rider comfort and performance. The unique aerospace aluminum configuration reduces stress on components, providing superior bump absorption, increased torsional rigidity, improved stability and handling. Beyond performance, its interior was ergonomically designed with creativity and durable aesthetics.

Sea-Doo Spark
The 2024 Sea-Doo Spark is fitted with wider seats, more legroom and optimized inner leg protection compared to the previous models first launched in 2014. The improved maneuverability complemented with the new dynamic features allows riders to challenge themselves to new levels of fun. The design has also incorporated several ergonomic improvements for reboarding such as strategically placed and textured grips. The new Spark has improved cargo solutions with a larger front storage area and a watertight phone compartment for convenience and peace of mind. Moreover, the Spark is built entirely from recyclable materials such as Polytec™ and powered by the low-emission Rotax 900 ACE.
