Can-Am Traxter 500 ATV (1999-2005)

The Can-Am Traxter 500, produced by Bombardier (later BRP) from 1999 to 2005, was a robust utility ATV. It consistently featured a 498cc (or 499cc) liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, single-cylinder Rotax engine throughout its production run. This carbureted engine, sometimes with dual spark plugs, provided reliable power for various tasks. While the core engine remained consistent, the Traxter 500 saw significant mid-cycle developments. From 2004, a heavy-duty CVT fully automatic transmission was introduced as an alternative to the traditional 5-speed auto-shift. Concurrently, the Traxter MAX series was launched, featuring an extended wheelbase and specific ergonomics for comfortable two-up riding. The 2005 models also received a new steering pod design with a third light for improved night visibility. FAQ:
