Essential Accessories to Upgrade Your Can-Am® Experience

When you’ve invested in a Can-Am UTV or side-by-side, you know the potential, off-road exploration, work-ready durability and trail-blasting fun. But what if you could make your vehicle even more capable, more comfortable, and more you? At Cross Country Powersports, our Parts & Accessories department isn’t just about replacements — it’s about transformation. With a huge selection of genuine Can-Am accessories (and top third-party upgrades), you can elevate your ride from stock to standout.

Here are some of the must-have accessory upgrades that every Can-Am owner should consider and why now is the perfect time to explore them with Cross Country Powersports.

1. Protection & Durability: Armor Up for the Trail

Off-road terrain doesn’t pull punches. Whether you’re jumping, hauling, or carving through mud, your Can-Am needs gear that stands up to it.

• Windshield / Rear Windshield – A front windshield shields you from dust, wind chill and trail debris; pairing that with a rear windshield helps keep the cab cleaner and more comfortable.

• Bumpers, rock sliders, skid plates – These add important protection for harsh terrain or heavy use. As one accessory overview puts it, “You can’t ignore the protection…” when upgrading.

• Doors & full cab enclosures – If you ride in adverse weather or want longer-season capability, full doors or half-doors help keep elements out and comfort up.

By outfitting your Can-Am with robust protective gear, you not only improve longevity but also enhance resale value and ride confidence.

2. Comfort & Versatility: Customize Your Ride Experience

The fun-factor of a Can-Am isn’t just in the engine or suspension — it’s in how you ride it. Accessories that add comfort or utility make every outing better.

• Roof / Audio-Ready Roof – A roof provides both shade and protection. But when equipped with accessory mounting points or audio integration, it becomes a hub of customization.

• LinQ accessory system – Can-Am’s LinQ system allows toolless mounting of cargo boxes, coolers, tool kits or other gear. This kind of flexibility means your ride is ready for work one day, trail run the next.

• Lighting upgrades – Early rides, night runs or shady trails demand extra lighting. Upgrading lighting is one of the most impactful comfort & usability moves you can make.

At Cross Country Powersports, a leading powersports dealer in Metuchen, we stock a wide selection of these accessories — from roof kits to storage boxes — so you can choose the right fit for your style.

3. Performance & Capability: Make It Work Harder

Yes, a Can-Am is fun — but many owners use theirs for real utility work too. Whether for ranching, hauling or hunting, performance upgrades pay off.

• Winches – One of the top recommendations for side-by-sides. More than just for rescue, they help with gates, logs, tough trailers and more.

• Suspension/lift kits/upgraded tires – If you’re hitting tougher terrain or hauling heavy loads, suspension enhancements make a big difference. (While not all accessories departments list every lift kit, many do offer them or can order them.)

• Cargo/Rack systems – Better storage means you can carry more gear safely and smartly. LinQ boxes, racks and beds are part of this upgrade path.

4. Style and Individuality: Make It Yours

At the end of the day, your Can-Am is your ride. Accessories let you personalize it.

• Accent panels, custom doors or full-color graphics – These let you stand out on the trail.

• Audio systems – Want sound as bold as your ride? Add a sealed off-road-rated subwoofer or full audio roof setup.

• Color-matched roofs/doors/hardware – Match your style or favourite theme. Cross Country Powersports can help you source the right gear.

When you customize, you’re not just upgrading your vehicle — you’re expressing your riding identity.

Why Choose Cross Country Powersports for Your Accessory Upgrades?

• Specialist selection – Their Parts & Accessories department carries the latest gear and knows the brands: they highlight that they feature “the latest gear from brands like Can-Am®” – giving you confidence you’re getting the right fit.

Tips for Choosing the Right Accessories

1. Start with your riding style – Are you trail-riding for fun, using your Can-Am for work, or both? Let that dictate whether you prioritize protection, cargo, performance or style.

2. Consider the total package – A heavy roof, large audio system or full cab may add weight or change your centre of gravity. Balance upgrades accordingly.

3. Look for genuine Can-Am or approved accessories – Many upgrades are model-specific; choosing gear designed for your vehicle ensures fitment and warranty integrity.

4. Think long-term value – Accessories that improve durability or versatility often boost resale value.

5. Check for professional installation – Some accessories are straightforward, others (like wiring an audio system or installing a winch) might require tech help.
