Replacement Air Filter for 2012 to 2016 Can-Am Renegade
Bombardier Recreational Product Inc. (BRP) is headquartered in Valcourt, Quebec, which happens to be the birthplace of Joseph-Armand Bombardier, the inventor and entrepreneur who gave us Ski-Doo and Sea-Doo. Not content with merely ruling oceans and lakes worldwide, the company now has successfully laid claim to off-road domination. With branches around the globe, the transportation company is already a leader in rail technology and the third-largest manufacturer of civilian aircraft in the world as well.

In 2011 BRP experienced unprecedented racing success, winning two Pro-class championships, two manufacturer's cup titles, several amateur-class titles and a successful debut with the Commander side-by-side racing efforts. Building on that momentum the privately held company jump-started January 2012 by having three of their vehicles, the Outlander 1000 XT, the Renegade 1000 and Commander 800R, named "Best in Class" by several leading off-road publications. The following month the Can-Am ATV and side-by-side teams reached their respective class podiums in the 34th edition of the most famous rally in the world, the Dakar Rally. Argentinean ATV racer Daniel Mazzucco took home the 4x4 Quad Class win aboard his Can-Am Renegade.
It's anyone's guess what Can-Am will accomplish with the remaining ten months, but one thing is certain, survival in the brutal off-road environment looks a lot friendlier with a simple K&N CM-8012 high-performance air filter upgrade. Replacement is totally straightforward because the CM-8012 is designed as a direct replacement for the stock air filter. That means nothing needs to be cut, bent, or otherwise adjusted.
K&N is the gold standard in replacement air filters for a couple of race proven reasons, they provide high air flow for added power and performance while providing outstanding filtration, ensuring the wheels on your Can-Am continue to go round and round. This simple one-time filter swap will give 2012 to 2016 Renegade and Outlanders a little extra boost in their gety-up.
This K&N performance air filter is washable and resuable so forget buying disposable air filters over and over just to throw them away.
When you spend the majority of your life doing something you love, it becomes a part of you. This is all too familiar for vehicle specialist, Mike Ryan; who started out his career at a young age with his passion for driving anything with an engine and wheels. Then the day came, at the age of 18, when he had the opportunity to stunt drive. Before you know it he made a career out of it.
SEMA featured Freightliner race truck
His specialty is big trucks. Some People may have seen some of his stunts in such movies as; Fast Five or maybe even Training Day. There is no lack of wreckage in these great action packed films. One of the most memorable chase scenes, for me, involves two hopped up Dodge Chargers, a massive safe, and some excellent stunt driving. I am referring to the scene where the Fast and Furious team robs a bank in an attempt to drag the vault filled with money through the city to a safe place. In reality, during part of this scene the safe was actually towed with a big rig truck. Mike Ryan drove the truck while camera magic is used to cut out the big rig. This scene may by absurd but, will most certainly be remembered.
Mike not only coordinates stunts, he also dedicates much of his time to his Freightliner race truck. When asked to describe the modifications done to the vehicle; he said it, "Is completely hand build from the ground up like a sprint car is." Aluminum frames rails were used to offer strength and keep the overall weight at a minimum. Most of the truck was put together at the Freightliner facility in Portland while the compound turbo engine was manufactured in Detroit. Mike claims, "The engine is just shy of 2000 horsepower." A truck this size definitely requires loads of horsepower.
Mike Ryan's Freightliner race truck at the 2011 SEMA Show
One might be curious as to what the truck is used for. Why simply put, racing! The blue and orange gulf painted Freightliner has participated in a variety of races from hills climbs to land speed trials. Mike has taken this truck up to the top of Pike's Peak and even reached a max speed of 225.675 miles per hour at Bonneville.
This upcoming year will be busy as ever for Mike's big rig race truck with events like Mid America Truck Show, Formula Drift, their 14th Pikes Peak, another year of SEMA and many more. At these events spectators will be able experience this amazing machine.
One item in particular that one may see is the massive K&N air filter fastened to the motor right behind the cab of the truck. All of the air required to feed the powerful engine is filtered through the K&N high flow material. I asked Mike what he thought about K&N air filters and he claimed, "It's a tremendous product; there is no arguing that. I have not had a valve cover off in 5 years." This just proves that the K&N air filter offers excellent protection for the most extreme applications.
If you've ever been in the company of shinny show cars and sniped "Yeah, they look mean, but do they have bite in real life?" We have a show for you. Last weekend Optima Batteries announced that the 2011 Optima Ultimate Street Car Invitational, presented by K&N Filters and Wilwood Disc Brakes, will be nationally televised on the SPEED channel, premiering Saturday, February 25 at 2 p.m. ET.
2011 Optima Invitational TV special is scheduled to re-air on SPEED
The one-hour show brings together 50 of the hottest show cars on the planet for a free-for-all duke out. The 2011 Optima Invitational TV special showcases many of the leading "OMG" recipients from the SEMA Show, including Mary Pozzi's 1971 Chevrolet Camaro RS, which was selected as a "Sony Gran Turismo Awards" winner. Also, "Best of Show" vehicle winner, FilipTrojanek's 1966 Mustang, which was selected as the Sony "Gran Turismo Awards Best Domestic Car" winner, and Phil Gerber's 1967 Chevy Nova, the "Goodguys 2011 Optima Batteries Street Machine of the Year" winner.
What becomes understandable within only a few minutes of viewing the special is that these aren't just purdy-faces - them dogs have teeth - and their owners are steadfastly insistent about driving that point home. One entrant remarked, "I brought a knife to a gun fight, actually it's more like a laser-guided missile fight."
Earning the ultimate "street-cred" is a highly coveted prize indeed, and watching it unfold is thoroughly engaging, without the driver disconnect that other professional motorsports often issue. These are real cars, with real people driving, going really fast. It's in effect a reality show with bone fide street-legal cars from import and domestic manufacturers, tested to their limits through a series of performance and design events, in order to crown the 2011 Optima Ultimate Street Car.
Not all of us are geared to live on the edge all the time, but the Optima Invitational TV special promises to at least keep you on the edge of your chair. This year's show includes dramatic race footage shot from dozens of in-car, on-track and aerial high-definition cameras, along with exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in the performance automotive industry. In addition, 2010's popular host and automotive enthusiast, Bill Goldberg will be joined by Adrienne Janic (who has hosted "Hot Import Nights" and "Overhaulin'"), together they provide viewers with an authentic on-track sensation that will have you smelling burnt rubber and pumping adrenaline. The dynamic duo will have you living in the moment with the participants as they tweak, drive, and will their cars to peak performance in pursuit of the ultimate street car title.
The Optima Invitational began in 2007 when director of Product Development and Marketing, Cam Douglass, recognized a need to prove that the specialty vehicles on the SEMA Show floor were built for speed and superior performance, and weren't just for show. The annual event takes place on the Saturday following the close of the SEMA Show, and each year it has gathered together some of the top automotive creations found anywhere, along with credible racing veterans and brand new talent. The fourth annual Optima Invitational in fact welcomed a limited number of spectators for the first time in the event's history. More than 500 enthusiasts flocked to Pahrump, Nevada in order to meet the participants and see what ensues when show meets go.
"This event is all about giving people a look at what these cars can really do when they are pulled off the show floor and put on the track to compete," said Douglass. "Each year the level of talent and vehicles gets better and better, and with the support we received from spectators and participants alike, I believe the 2011 broadcast is going to be our best yet."
The 2011 OPTIMA Invitational TV Show is scheduled to re-air on SPEED during the following times: (Re-air dates and times are subject to change)
Scott Moreno, or Ali Baba as he’s called in Morocco is the managing director of Iberian Moto Tours in Madrid, Spain. He’s known for a long while that to be at the top of the game, you need the very best equipment. Moreno wouldn’t think of using anything other than BMW motorcycles when touring Northern Africa and riding through the Sahara Desert. Traversing nearly paved, single-lane, mountain switch-backs on a Beemer significantly ups the pleasure quotient, while reducing the trepidation factor. Challenging adventure is how BMW has earned its valued DNA. They manage well to keep the rubber-side down, and the pistons cranking, when lesser bikes give up the ghost.

Tasked with riding cross-country, or through more than a few towns, the new go-to machine is the BMW luxury touring K1600GT and GTL. The German-motorsports conglomerate is well known for zigging when others zag. They're continually restless for new machinery and frequently that leads to new daring designs, so it comes as no revelation that the premium-grade luxury touring K-bikes are everything but conformist.
Although the K1600 weighs almost 154 pounds less than its nearest class competitor, it still manages to convey that encouraging, large touring motorcycle sensation. With its suggestively sculpted lines and aerodynamic, envelope-piercing silhouette, rocketing at mach speeds seems nearly reasonable.
Most motorcycles can get you from here to there, but it's how you choose to take the journey that makes all the difference and no expedition is complete until it reaches its planned destination. K-bikes plain and simply get that done in a style and class all their own. Few things, if any, could improve upon K-bikes near perfection, or be anywhere near as cost-effective as swapping out the existing OEM air filter with a K&N BM-1611 high-performance replacement air filter before engaging on a tour. This air filter is a direct replacement for the stock air filter, so no modifications of any kind will be required.
K&N makes use of the highest level of dedicated engineering to produce the utmost quality motorcycle air filters available, surpassing even the fussiest BWW rider's demands. Producing excellent air filtration while providing a high flow of air, or better engine performance, is their single-mined goal and just like BMW, K&N has race proven results. The BM-1611 replacement air filter comes with K&N's Million Mile Limited Warranty. In addition, you needn't even concern yourself with cleaning the K&N filter for as long as 50,000 miles depending on driving conditions, and that's a lot of adventure between servicing.
