At t he heart of all thesecar-Am
successes you f ind the same awesome
device. A Rotax engine. Rotax has th e
ability. year after year. to extract arnazing power f rom a given displacement.
That's why it's the engine of choicefor
seriousgo-kart racers. IT riders and
Formula 2S0

But what is t ruly
amazing isthat

Thisunique combination helps makeCan-Am t he ideal

put has been caref ully
shaped to deliver
