Two world-famous engines inspire two new trials bikes CAN-AM WlNNINC FORMULA A winning trials engine must deliver exactly the performance the rider calls for, at any speed, pulse by pulse. Two of the best such engines in the world are built by Can-Am's own Rotax division. So Can-Am has designed a pair of bikes that will use the Trials 240 and the "Jumbo" 350 to the peak of their potential. With their light weight, fine balance, rugged durability and surgically precise performance, the new CanAm 240T and 350T have everything it takes to win. Except you. Winning equals talent, plus a hefty dose of technology. Nowhere is this more true than in Formula 250 roadracing. And in Formula 250, Can-Am packages the technology that's winning the world. It's called the 250RR and awesome is too sissy a word for it. Its power comes from Rotax. Rotary-valved, liquidcooled, dual contra-rotating crankshaft exotica. Its handling and performance come from superb design. Including a frame fabricated from carbon fiber that is amazingly strong, incredibly TECHNICAL DATA light (7 Ibs.) and appropriatelyexpensive. If you have the talent (and the sponsor) necessary to win in Formula 250, see your Can-Am dealer. And stock up on the right technology.
