VALCOURT, QC, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) is proud to announce that its Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin electric motorcycles have been honored with their very first international design awards. Both models, which are now arriving into dealerships and into the hands of consumers, are doing so with recognition from the prestigious iF Design Award.



An internationally renowned competition in the field of design and innovation, the iF Design Award evaluates products based on innovation, functionality, and aesthetics. The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin stood out by setting a new standard in the two-wheel electric vehicles (EV) market.

"We are incredibly honored to receive this recognition from the iF Design Award. I want to acknowledge the work of the passionate team who designed these motorcycles, reaffirming once again BRP's commitment to developing products that shift the paradigm," said Denys Lapointe, Chief Design Officer at BRP. "The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin redefine electric motorcycle riding. They have distinct personalities, but have one major thing in common: they blend iconic style with forward-thinking technology, providing people with unparalleled riding experiences."

BRP has a longstanding history of investing in trendsetting design and innovation. The Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin are the latest examples of this daring approach. The Can-Am electric motorcycle lineup is paving the way for a future where modern electric power, connectivity, and thrill go hand in hand. And in doing so, BRP's new motorcycles are redefining the future of urban mobility.

Two Models, Two Personalities, Multiple Common Design Elements

Technological advances were thoughtfully embedded into the design of the Can-Am motorcycles to enhance the user experience. To achieve this, the Design & Innovation team worked hand-in-hand with BRP's engineers, EV experts, and riders to optimize vehicle systems and integrate key components into the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin's compact frames.

Within the overall design ecosystem, the Can-Am Pulse and Can-Am Origin share several key attributes that set them apart from the competition. This includes stunning aesthetics that give a distinctly Can-Am look and presence, as well as integrated technology such as a liquid-cooled power system, which limits battery degradation over time while simultaneously optimizing the range and charge time. It allows riders to experience quick and efficient charging – going from 20% to 80% in 50 minutes – using Level 2 charging at home or at automotive charging stations.

Can-Am Pulse
Designed to be agile and nimble with a low center of gravity for enhanced stability, this street motorcycle intends to appeal to new and experienced riders alike, including people of smaller stature for whom riding can be intimidating. It is a premium and trendy choice to meet a wide range of day-to-day mobility needs. The Can-Am Pulse can truly unlock a new experience of urban mobility.

Can-Am Origin
The Can-Am Origin Dual-Sport electric motorcycle's weight distribution, compact proportions, thoughtful ergonomics, advanced suspension, and specialized geometry also helps to ensure a stable and comfortable ride for beginners and experienced riders alike. A true two-in-one motorcycle, it meets the needs of powersports enthusiasts who like to live off the beaten path, but also want to ride to work and around the city in style.

Another great one !

Designed with customers' top feature preferences in mind, this model elevates the driving experience by offering unmatched performance, luxury, and signature Slingshot style.

Limited-Edition Style
Inside and out, Slingshot 10 is loaded with limited-edition details on every surface. An exclusive colorway with commemorative 10th anniversary ghosted graphics and badging on the hood, rear fin, and hubcap deliver head-turning style at every angle. Exclusive Radiant Red Pearl paint pays homage to the original Slingshot Red, which was launched in 2015 and has been beloved by customers since. Black Metallic paint with white and teal accents further elevate the design, while five-spoke honeycomb wheels in gloss black add a finished look to the eye-catching ride.

Inside the cockpit, drivers take control in style. Designers meticulously attended to every detail of Slingshot 10. Custom-inspired fit and finish elevates the experience at every touchpoint, including an exclusive, color-matched steering wheel, instrument cluster, glove box, and custom-stitched seats. High-quality audio has always been a standout feature for customers, and this model offers the best quality yet - featuring powerful Stage 3 Max Rockford Fosgate sound, headrest speakers, and eight-inch side panel speakers for a rich audio experience. To complement the sound system, XKGlow® lighting will illuminate the cockpit, adding a premium touch to the overall experience.

Premium Technology
For added comfort, custom style, and enhanced audio, Slingshot 10 delivers the most advanced, factory-installed technology of any Slingshot model.

    Heated & Cooled Seats: Limited-edition heated and cooled seats not only enhance driver and passenger comfort but also deliver exclusive style with custom color and 10th anniversary stitching in the headrests.
    Stage 3 Max Audio: The top-of-the-line Stage 3 Max Rockford Fosgate® audio package delivers the loudest volume and most bass drivers can get in a Slingshot.

With the easy-to-use "Slingshot LED" mobile app, available on the App Store® and Google Play® at no additional charge, Slingshot owners can select colors for two distinct light zones from a full spectrum of choices, apply preset themed patterns and strobe effects, synchronize to music, or design and save their favorite settings.

R-Level Performance
Available with either a manual or AutoDrive transmission, Slingshot 10 offers the R model's top-of-the-line performance. Enhancements to the 2025 Slingshot lineup offer a sportier and more refined driving experience, making Slingshot 10 more than capable of handing out smiles on any backroad. A modest bump in horsepower and a broader torque curve deliver more acceleration behind the wheel, while tuning refinements to the AutoDrive transmission provide a more intuitive and smoother driving experience. Its four-piston Brembo® brakes add confidence-inspiring braking power. The Brembo® front brake rotors are 14% larger than the standard front brake rotors and feature fixed calipers.

Starting at $38,999, the limited edition Slingshot 10 is now shipping to dealers in limited quantities.
