I remember seeing them in Dirt Wheels and thinking how cool they looked.  $15,900 back in 1997 dollars!  Did they ever release the "high performance dune" version?

Yeah they sure did have potential....too bad they didn't produce a ton of them.....Or Can-Am for not following through with a 2-Stroke in their DS chassis.....so Shaun Gunther (unfortunately has since passed) had to put that same Rotax 256LC 2-Stroke in the DS chassis....He did a phenomenal job too!!!

The big air tour has a can-am hybrid that is pretty sick.  It's in the Butter movies I think.
