If you’re seeing more side-by-sides on the track, it’s for good reason. One brand in particular, Can-Am, continues to innovate and make strides in the side-by-side industry. From farmers working the land to adrenaline junkies hitting up the off-road tracks, Can-Am has a range of vehicles to suit your idea of adventure.
They’re versatile
A common view on 4X4’s is that they’re our fun outlet on a weekend when we escape the city for off-road joy. However, your vehicle doesn’t have to be all work or all play, it can be both and the side-by-side is the perfect example. Used by hunters, farmers, the military and construction workers, through the week side-by-sides are a great way to effectively get work done.
On the weekend, this same vehicle is your key to shredding through the mud and bush bashing on your outdoor adventures. Rather than having one vehicle that gets you from point A to point B during the working week and another for leisurely fun, you can combine both in a side-by-side.
They’re a comfortable ride
Unlike motorbikes where you’re situated behind the driver, holding on and missing out on the view in front, a side-by-side allows you to sit comfortably beside the driver and experience it all. Some side-by-sides even have a temperature controlled cabin, such as the Can-Am Defender that allows you to manually apply heating, ventilation or air conditioning to keep yourself comfortable in all seasons and temperatures.
They’re easy to drive
A side-by-side is built just like a car, so you don’t need to spend any time learning how to drive and can get adventuring straight away. They’re generally just as comfortable inside and even offer sound systems, such as the Can-Am Maverick X3 that has a Bluetooth compatible waterproof sound system. It allows you to vibe out and really get the adrenaline pumping with some awesome tunes as the soundtrack to your off-road adventure.
There’s room for gear
Whether you’ve got a lamb in tow on the farm or a stack of firewood to take back to the house, you can load up your side-by-side and customise it to suit your specific work and leisurely needs. Thanks to the LinQ attachment system, you can connect bags, racks and accessories to upgrade your vehicle.
Now that you’ve read about them you’ll probably start to see them when you’re out on your off-road adventures. Take notice of the brands and the models that you’re seeing on the track, you never know if you’ll find yourself in the market for one soon.
