Vehicle Stability SystemThe Y™ architecture of the Can-Am roadster allows it to host an innovative and unique stability system. Developed in partnershipwith BOSCH† and inspired by automotive technologies. the system integrates ABS. traction control and stability control functions for an incredibly confident ride. STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEMThe stability control assesses your intended direction via the handlebar and determines the vehicle’s appropriate response. The system individually brakes the wheels and/or reduces excess engine torque until control is regained. ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMSensors monitor the rotation of all three wheels. If any of the wheels is at risk of locking. ABS reduces brake pressure on it. This intervention repeats in rapid succession and can be performed independently on each wheel. allowing for maximum braking performance. TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMWhenever the Traction Control System detects excessive rear wheel spin (e. g. . in slippery conditions). it reduces engine torque by regulating engine ignition and fuel injection. This enables the roadster to accelerate with minimal corrective input from the rider. DYNAMIC POWER STEERINGThe electronically controlled power steering system provides the rider with a varying assist when turning the handlebars. The amount of assistance varies with the speed of the vehicle to adjust the steering input effort to a comfortable level. Transmission OptionsSEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONNo clutch lever. No foot shifter. The Can-Am roadster’s semi-automatic 5-speed transmission uses convenient paddle shifting. a feature typically associated with sports cars.
