How wide is it?

Hubba hubba. Looks better than I expected. It states it comes with Carlisle black rok tires and I'll be damed if all the pics don't show it in bighorn tires. Looks great, as do the specs. I'm curious as to the length and width. Looks more in line with Rhino/Prowler.

"Dual level cargo box"....I'll bet that's thinking ahead as a footwell for those people who throw a bench seat in the bed of their rhinos.

Many more pics.

IMO, it'll sell faster than they can build them, at least for a while.

There's already one 3" mid-travel kit ready for it, according to UTV Underground.

Here's more good info, from UTVGuide.net

Regarding tires, all of the 800 models and the standard model 1000 have the Carlisle tires. The X and XT 1000's have Bighorn 2.0's. All 5 models have 27 inch tires according to can-am's spec pages.

The question is, how long before 3TV has one. Phil, have you got your order in yet? Probably a stupid question though.

He must have two on back order! Can't wait till some guys here get to take one for a rip and give some reports back.

LOL, its going to be a while guys. Maybe when the 2012s come out. I just bought a side by side two weeks ago that has 117 more horsepower than this Can Am does.
