The Commander side-by-side has a selectable Sport mode, which offers a more linear throttle control for performance driving, and ECO™ mode for driving under normal use situations. Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC™) The maintenance-free, throttle-by-wire system teams with the 54 mm Bosch throttle body to produce smooth throttle delivery even if the driver’s foot is bouncing due to the terrain. The progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.ĬVT transmission The Continuously Variable Transmission offers engine braking as well as High, Low, Park, Neutral and Reverse. The sophisticated electronic fuel injection system automatically keeps the engine’s performance at its peak, regardless of temperature or altitude.
