The 800 Can Am Renagade I have has one rear brake but it is on the rear driveshaft and it works pretty good. It could be better. I am in the process of building a 975cc race bike so I am putting a set of front wheel hubs/rotors on the back and welding a bracket to mount the calipers so I can have better rear wheel breaking. I am sure you could do the same to the Commander but you really shouldn't have to.

Kind of scary...I have a "reservation" to test-drive one tomorrow afternoon at Brimstone, I'll post my impression, but I have to admit I'm going in to it with a negative impression based on what I've seen and heard.

I had a little mini bike once that when you hit the brake it forced a flat piece of metal against the tire to stop you. It looks like Can Am took braking to the next step..... 136483

I can stop one by a simple push of the BAN BUTTON 729242

As to the 3 brake setup, what gets me is how cheap and mickey mouse that non brake hub looks. Ive seen beefier setups on go-carts. 971386

OK...So I test drove the commander Friday afternoon. It was a yellow XT 1000. Lots of power, more than I would ever need. Handled OK, rides nice, engine braking is crazy. It just didn't impress me. I still can't get used to the looks, and nothing else excited me. Of the 6 people in my group, 4 have RZR-S's and I have a RZR and none of us said we would give up our RZR for it. The only Guy who liked it drives a Prowler lol!

They had an "X" there but someone testing it popped the bead on a beadlock wheel Friday 431114

The only major thing that steers me away from them is the fairly high maintenance and small bed. I love the seating position compared to a Rhino,power is there, suspension is there.......... 431114
My Rhino has used 1 set of brake pads and 1 set of wheel bearings in 3800 miles, hauls a chainsaw with 18" bar, hauls 2gal gas, spare tire, large cooler, and a toolbox. And I can get about 100-120 miles on a tank of gas......... Smile

That maintenance thing is a myth . if you use common since
and grease everything properly. you will be fine.
Just ask dave. he drives the hell out of his. and only replaced a
tie rod and a belt. everything will break if you treat it bad enough.... 431114
