2026 Can-Am Origin: RUGGED DURABILITY WITH MODERN TECH.
Introducing the 2026 Can-Am Origin…
The 2025 Can-Am Origin is a purpose-built dual-sport electric motorcycle engineered to excel both on the road and far beyond it. With high ground clearance, long-travel suspension, and rugged knobby tires, it’s ready to tackle everything from urban commutes to remote trails. At its heart is an industry-leading liquid-cooled system that keeps the battery, inverter, onboard charger, and motor operating at peak efficiency—delivering consistent performance and faster charging in almost any condition.
Rider interaction is elevated by a 10.25-inch high-resolution touchscreen with BRP Connect and Apple CarPlay, offering a seamless, customizable interface for navigation, media, and real-time bike data. The chaincase shields the silent chain from dirt and debris, keeps it perfectly lubricated, and uses an automatic tensioner for maintenance-free reliability. Passive and active regenerative braking feed energy back into the battery while aiding deceleration, with active regen—activated by rolling the accelerator forward—providing stronger slowing power and greater recharge efficiency.
The lightweight architecture integrates the battery into the chassis, reducing parts and overall weight for exceptional agility and handling. Off-road capability comes from a full KYB suspension with 10 inches (255 mm) of travel front and rear, paired with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear knobby tires for confident grip across varied terrain. A single-sided swingarm adds style and easy maintenance, while the reverse function makes maneuvering in tight spaces effortless.
With Level 2 charging from 20–80% in just 50 minutes, LinQ integration for easy accessorizing, and a design that blends rugged durability with modern tech, the Can-Am Origin is built for riders who want one motorcycle to do it all—on-road, off-road, and everywhere in between.

2026 Can-Am Origin Guide Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
Liquid-cooled system
Industry-leading cooling system: battery, inverter, onboard charger and motor are liquid-cooled. Liquid cooling offers a more efficient cooling process, optimizing charging speed and performance in almost any conditions compared to an air-cooled system.
10.25 in. touchscreen display with BRP Connect and Apple Carplay
A high-resolution infotainment system that puts an interactive, informative and customizable experience that’s both seamless and simple right at your fingertips.
Chaincase
The chaincase protects the high-quality silent chain from the elements and keeps it lubricated with oil. An automatic tensioner ensures perfect chain tension without the need for regular maintenance.
Passive and active regen
Passive regen and active regen both return energy to the battery and contribute to the motorcycle’s deceleration. Active regeneration, which is used by turning the accelerator forward, gives back even more energy to the battery and offers greater deceleration. Both types of regen can be adjusted.
Lightweight architecture
The battery is an integral part of the chassis, reducing the number of parts and the overall weight of the motorcycle, making it very agile and easy to handle.
Off-road performance
Front and rear KYB suspension with 10 in. (255 mm) of suspension travel to overcome difficult trails in comfort and confidence. 21″ front and 18″ rear knobby tires providing good grip on different types of terrain.
