The 2027 Can-Am Traxter Lineup

The Can-Am Traxter embodies the grit, determination and unstoppable spirit of the farmers, land managers and riders who rely on it daily.

Following the success of the 2026 Traxter HD11, Can-Am is bringing the same innovation, comfort and performance to its mid-horsepower offering, the Traxter HD10. Equipped with a new best-in-class 80-horsepower (58.8 kW) Rotax triple-cylinder engine, the second-generation HD10 lineup boasts quiet, hardworking power to knock out the toughest jobs. In addition to its revamped powertrain, the new-generation HD10 also benefits from an updated chassis and suspension design, state-of-the-art technology and premium interior comfort, all while working harder and smarter than ever before.

Additionally, 2027 sees the introduction of the Can-Am Traxter X mr HD11 in Europe. This machine takes mud performance to the next level, combining class-leading capability, purpose-built mud-ready features, and relentless power for riders eager to tackle the toughest terrain with confidence.

The all-new 2027 Traxter HD11 will also be equipped with BRP’s latest 10.25-inch Wireless Touch display, featuring embedded navigation powered by BRP GO!. The advanced display delivers an enhanced riding experience with a high-quality digital camera offering crisp image clarity, FM radio, improved digital audio for clearer sound, greater customization options, and full-screen functionality for seamless access to key information and entertainment.

In addition, for the new Traxter lineup, a new 5-inch color instrument display positioned behind the steering wheel will provide improved visibility and a more intuitive interface. Designed to keep essential vehicle and riding information clearly within view, the display enables riders to monitor key metrics at a glance for a more confident and connected driving experience.

The Traxter 6X6 legacy continues its evolution

The Can-Am Traxter 6×6 XU HD10 – the ultimate workhorse with heavy-duty Rotax engines – is now available with an XU package that comes with Tractor homologation for on-road use, giving professionals greater flexibility to travel efficiently between job sites, fields, forests, and worksites. Built for demanding applications, it combines exceptional versatility, capability, and productivity, delivering uncompromising performance both on and off the road.

The 2027 Can-Am Maverick Lineup

Through its race-bred DNA, the Can-Am Maverick R has earned a reputation for all-out performance. For 2027, all Maverick R models are equipped with the second-generation Rotax dual-clutch transmission. Initially debuted in the Maverick R X rc and the Maverick R MAX, the second-generation Rotax transmission features an extra low gear for optimal power delivery in low-speed terrain, and reinforced components to support the additional torque.

All 2027 Maverick R and Maverick models come equipped with integrated window nets for a race-inspired look and better protection from the elements. Plus, all 2027 Maverick models come equipped with door fillers for improved cabin sealing, while the RS and DS iterations receive a full roof.

The 2027 Can-Am Outlander Lineup

From the game-changing Can-Am Outlander Electric to the industry-leading Outlander 1000R, the Outlander family builds on consecutive years of momentum and innovation. The 2027 model year sees the addition of a new MAX configuration for the Outlander X mr models, designed for solo riders who seek high comfort and stability levels thanks to a longer chassis.

Offering more connectivity packages than ever before, the high-horsepower Outlander XT and Backcountry models are now available with a 10.25-inch Touch display. The intuitive infotainment system offers a built-in GPS for access to offline mapping and group ride features, while also offering convenient ride settings adjustments on the fly.

Can-Am expands its 2027 lineup of Can-Am SSVs and ATVs with 105 new accessories that unlock more capability and confidence in demanding conditions.

STIHL will also be showcasing a wide range of new tools at the APF Exhibition, including the petrol-operated MS 300 C-M, the best power-to-weight ratio of a 50 cm³ class chainsaw, engineered to reduce operator fatigue during felling, processing, and delimbing tasks.

In addition, visitors to the stand will be able to view the new MSA 260 C-O. Powered by the new ALLPRO battery system, the chainsaw combines high cutting performance with reduced operator fatigue during thinning and maintenance tasks.

STIHL 2027 chainsaw exclusive at APF Exhibition 

Visitors to the STIHL stand will get the chance to take a first look at its lineup of 2027 battery-powered chainsaw launches. Alongside these future innovations, STIHL will showcase a portfolio of historic chainsaws celebrating its 100-year heritage, as well as its Hexa saw chain cutting system.

Ideal for contractors and businesses considering the move away from petrol to battery, EGO will showcase the breadth of its 56V battery platform, in which professional-grade equipment, interchangeable batteries, portable charging solutions, and connected fleet management work together to support operators working across a variety of job sites.

Leading the exhibit is EGO’s first PRO X zero-turn ride-on mower, the new ZTX4800E. Its onboard DC-DC charging capabilities and mounting fixtures allow operators to transport other EGO tools and charge batteries on the go, helping to reduce downtime. Visitors can experience the mower’s capabilities first-hand by taking it for a test drive in the outdoor demonstration area.

There, visitors can also see the performance of EGO’s new ARC Lithium MAXTM battery, designed to reduce interruptions on job sites through faster charging, fewer battery changes and improved performance. Helping grounds care teams spend more time getting the job done, the tabless-cell battery will charge from empty to 100% full in only 20 minutes when paired with the PGXTM Power Bank.

David Mortimer, Sales Director UK & Ireland for EGO, said: “Battery power has come a long way, even in the last five years, when it comes to effectively meeting the needs of heavy commercial users. We’re really looking forward to joining FutureScape for the first time this year and showcasing how the switch to EGO tools can benefit professional audiences through the environmental and commercial outcomes that can be achieved as a result.

“With over 100 products in our portfolio, including our dedicated PRO X Series for commercial users, FutureScape provides the perfect platform for professionals looking to move away from petrol to see how EGO can help them make that transition across their business seamlessly.”

Visitors to the EGO stand will also have the chance to enter a competition to win an LMX5300SP PRO X Self-propelled lawn mower.

EGO will be at FutureScape, 13–14 October, on Stand OD30. To learn more, visit: https://egopowerplus.co.uk/
