2025 Can-Am Commander near Middletown, NJ

The 2025 Can-Am Commander enters the utility sport side-by-side category with a technical configuration built around powertrain flexibility, load-handling capacity, and off-road mobility. Designed for riders who need to transition between work functions and trail conditions, the 2025 Can-Am Commander integrates durable chassis elements, dual engine options, selectable drive modes, and cargo accommodations suited to variable terrain and task profiles. 

Engine Configurations for Varying Load and Speed Demands

The 2025 Can-Am Commander platform is offered in two distinct engine variants: a 700-class Rotax® ACE and a larger-displacement 1000R Rotax® V-twin. The 700 engine utilizes a 650 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled layout generating 52 horsepower. 

The 1000R engine expands capacity to 976 cc across a liquid-cooled V-twin configuration, producing 100 horsepower. This engine is suited for users managing increased towing frequency, steeper trail ascents, or sustained high-speed trail navigation. 

Both powerplants are equipped with Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC™) and electronic fuel injection (EFI), standardizing throttle response precision and fuel atomization across elevation and temperature shifts.

Transmission and Drive Options Calibrated for Mixed Usage

The transmission system in the 2025 Can-Am Commander differs between engine variants. The 700 model is fitted with the pDrive primary CVT featuring integrated engine braking and a full range of selectable drive modes including Low, High, Neutral, Reverse, and Park. 

The 1000R variant features the Quick Response System (QRS) CVT, incorporating high-airflow ventilation to maintain belt integrity under thermal stress. The transmission includes an Extra-Low gear range to support heavy-load starts or slow-speed technical terrain maneuvering. Both versions are supported by Electronic Drive Belt Protection, which monitors belt stress and reduces system strain by regulating torque input.

Each 2025 Can-Am Commander model includes selectable Turf Mode, 2WD, and 4WD functionality with a Visco-Lok† auto-locking front differential.

Suspension Systems with Tiered Travel Capabilities

Suspension design in the 2025 Can-Am Commander is differentiated by engine package. The 700 model applies a double A-arm front suspension with sway bar and 12.5 inches of vertical wheel travel. The rear employs a torsional trailing A-arm (TTA) design with sway bar and 13 inches of travel. Both front and rear are supported by twin-tube gas-charged shocks.

The 1000R package utilizes an arched A-arm structure at the front and arched TTA system at the rear, expanding suspension travel to 15 inches on both axles. 

Tire and Wheel Design for Variable Surface Conditions

The 2025 Can-Am Commander is equipped with 28-inch XPS Trail King tires across both axles, sized 28 x 9 inches in the front and 28 x 11 inches in the rear. These tires feature a tread pattern optimized for mixed-terrain grip and sidewall integrity under load-bearing conditions. They are mounted on 14-inch cast-aluminum wheels.

The 14-inch wheel profile supports brake clearance and suspension travel articulation while maintaining a controlled center of gravity.

Structural Dimensions and Load Management Capabilities

The chassis dimensions for the 2025 Can-Am Commander measure 130 inches in length, 62 inches in width, and 74 inches in overall height. The wheelbase spans 90.6 inches, with a ground clearance of 12.5 inches on the 700 and 13 inches on the 1000R. 

Estimated dry weight is 1,575 pounds for the 700 variant and 1,675 pounds for the 1000R. Payload capacity is standardized at 1,030 pounds. Towing capacity via the 2-inch hitch receiver is rated at 2,000 pounds. The rear cargo box measures 29.5 inches in length, 45.2 inches in width, and 10.6 inches in depth, with a load rating of 600 pounds. Storage compartments throughout the cabin provide a combined volume of 7.3 gallons for tool kits, gear, or utility items. Fuel tank capacity is fixed at 10 gallons.

Interior Interface and Operational Controls

Instrumentation within the 2025 Can-Am Commander includes a 7.6-inch digital display with keypad interface, providing operational readouts for engine metrics, speed, gear position, and drive mode status. 

Electrical systems are supported by a 650-watt magneto for accessory compatibility and external power draw. A 10-amp DC outlet is located within reach of the rider for auxiliary power needs such as portable lighting, communications equipment, or mobile tool operation.
