Bombardier's Award-Winning Traxter ATV now Available in an Automatic Shift Version BBD.A -- 2000-08-09 (provided courtesy of CCN Disclosure .) VALCOURT, QUEBEC--True to its mission to provide the most exciting and innovative recreational vehicles, Bombardier Recreational Products launches its revolutionary automatic shift Traxter(TM) All Terrain Vehicle (ATV). A first in the industry, the Traxter with automatic shift now features the only electronically shifted constant-mesh fully engaged gear-drive transmission on the market. This innovative computer control also allows the driver to override the automatic mode and to manually shift the transmission. As of today, the Bombardier(R) Traxter ATV offers three ways of selecting gears: the original semi-automatic, the footshift introduced earlier this year and the fully automatic. All Traxter models are equipped with a constant-mesh fully engaged gear-drive transmission. "Our experience has shown that nothing beats the performance of a gear-drive transmission. Without belts or hydraulic fluids, the transmission offers maximum efficiency, low heat generation and reliability. This new Traxter with automatic shift selector is again the result of customer research and forward thinking product engineering, both of which have already been recognised by media and customer satisfaction reports these past two years," declared Alain Brunelle, Vice President, General Manager ATV. Since their introduction, Bombardier ATVs have been the object of praise by the press. Voted "ATV of the Year" in 1999 by ATV Magazine and "Best ATV on the market" by Popular Mechanics the very same year, the Traxter ATV, the first entry into the ATV market by Bombardier was a hands-down winner with the experts. 4-Wheel ATV Action named the Bombardier DS650(TM), the sport model launched earlier this year, "ATV of the year 2000". Bombardier Recreational Products designs, develops, builds, distributes and markets Ski Doo(R) and Lynx(R) snowmobiles, snowgrooming equipment and multi-purpose tracked vehicles, Sea-Doo(R) watercraft and sport boats, Bombardier all-terrain vehicles and Bombardier NV(TM) neighbourhood vehicles. Snowmobiles, ATV, watercraft and some sports boats are powered by Rotax(R) engines that are designed and built by Bombardier-Rotax GmbH which also builds motors for motorcycles and scooters.
