2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XT Review

The Outlander XT provides even more intuitive handling and control over the best-in-class power ATV. With new Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), you can adjust assistance level based on riding style and situation. It also includes heavy-duty bumpers and a winch. The revolutionary new Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame for a lower center of gravity, better handling and with fewer components.

The Outlander 1000 and 800R XT packages provide more intuitive handling and versatility over the best-in-class power. With new Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), heavy-duty winch and bumpers. We’ve set all of this on the revolutionary new chassis, which offers a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far less components, materials and welds.

2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XT Key Features

The XT package offers all the standard Outlander 1000 features, PLUS: Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)

Visco-Lok† QE auto-locking front differential

3,000-lb Warn winch

Heavy-duty front and rear bumpers

Handlebar wind deflectors

Optional painted Pure Magnesium plastic

2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XT Features and Benefits

New 82-hp Rotax 1000 V-Twin, liquid-cooled engine

This engine is the most powerful in the industry with 82-hp. The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant has four valves per cylinder, a 46-mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡ fuel injectors. The EFI system keeps the 1000 engine's performance at its peak and a progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.

Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS™)

The Tri-Mode DPS™ features three rider-selectable modes (MIN, MED and MAX) of steering depending on rider preference. The system is designed to offer less assist at high speed and more assist at low speed. This technology also includes a Direct Link setup that uses advanced magnetic field sensors for faster response to steering input than competitive technology, which then minimizes steering lag. Less kickback and more trail feedback is supplied to the operator because of the 50:1 final gear ratio, which is the largest in the industry. A high-capacity 50-amp motor means the DPS™ will never fade with heavy use and all DPS™-equipped models also come with the Visco-Lok† QE.

Redesigned air box

The new air box was reconfigured and placed at a higher and more centralized location for filtering and processing air. The no-tools air box features a dual-room design that improves the air filtration process and the quality of air by capturing dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. Along with the relocated air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the machine’s capabilities in the mud and water.

Visco-Lok† QE auto-locking front differential

All DPS-equipped models have the Visco-Lok† QE calibration up front, which has all the features and benefits of the standard quick-engagement Visco-Lok† differential, but with an even quicker engagement point. This differential, unlike some competitors' differentials, does not have a speed limiter.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI)

The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors' systems. This ensures the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. With fewer moving parts than competitive systems. The proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (236 mm) and includes a removable external sway bar. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.

3,000-lb WARN8 winch with roller fairlead, wired remote control & integrated remote storage

This powerful 3,000-lb (1,361 kg) capacity factory-installed winch is equipped with a wired remote control that neatly stows in the underside of the ATV's front storage compartment cover.

New Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame with Geometric Contact Control

The next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame. The welded-steel frame incorporates new processes and updated geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. The more efficient SST G2 design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far fewer components, materials and welds.

Painted computer-optimized cast-aluminum wheels

The center-less design reduces unsprung weight and offers improved strength. Durability was increased in strategic areas while excess material was eliminated in other spots to save weight.

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking

For ease of use, you can count on the CVT transmission that features engine braking to help slow you when going downhill.

26 in. Carlisle8 ACT radial tires

These 26 in., 3-ply tires feature a tread pattern that is aggressive enough to tackle the toughest terrain, yet provide a smooth ride in a lightweight package.

Center skid plate

The new high-strength skid plate on the Outlander 1000 and 800R is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to slide over certain obstacles. Made of 5-mm thick injection-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

Heavy-duty front and rear bumpers

The front and rear bumpers are factory installed and are covered by a factory warranty. The added protection gives peace of mind in rugged conditions.

Double A-arm with dive-control geometry

Includes dive-control geometry for better cornering and vehicle-braking dynamics and anti-kickback geometry for better steering feel. The 9 in. of suspension travel increase trail comfort and aggressive riding capability.

Handlebar with wind deflectors

Premium look and protection from brush and cold.


214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers

The 1000 and 800R now feature outboard hydraulic disc brakes. The front setup uses large 214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214-mm hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.

650-W magneto

This package provides a more powerful magneto with 650 watts of power output.

High-strength, multi-function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system

The new Outlander ATVs have redesigned cargo racks offering more convenience, greater durability, improved versatility and industry-leading cargo hauling prowess. High-strength, reinforced composite racks replace the tubular steel setup. The innovative racks feature an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated ridges for improved cargo holding. Numerous edges and holes improve use with tie-downs and bungee cords. Additional predetermined “cutouts” were also added for use with Can-Am’s exclusive LinQ accessory system, which is adaptable and customizable for various uses and products. LinQ accessories are already available from Can-Am dealers. Combined rack capacity is 300-lb (100-lb front / 200-lb rear).

5.7-gal (21.6L) water-resistant rear storage box

A huge 5.7-gallon (21.6L) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located beneath the rear cargo rack. The more convenient location means riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.

2-in. receiver hitch

The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a new 2-in. receiver hitch as standard equipment.

Easy access for maintenance

Can-Am engineers succeeded at producing a more maintenance-friendly setup on the new Outlander. The battery was relocated beneath the seat to offer easier access and improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays were also placed under the seat.

230-W headlights. The most lightning output of any ATV in the industry

Restyled headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced visibility for trail riding. On high beam, the twin 60-watt projectors and dual 55-watt reflectors give the Outlander 230 watts of visual clarity.

Dual taillights

The new Outlander 1000 and 800R taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.

Large 5.4-gal (20.5L) fuel tank

25 percent more fuel capacity, which means you can ride longer. Total capacity is 5.4 gallons (20.5 L).

Multi-function digital gauge

Tells the rider everything in one easy glance. Our easy-to-read multi-function gauge is equipped with a digital information center including a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter, gear position, hour meter, engine hour meter, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge and a clock function.

D.E.S.S.™ (Digitally Encoded Security System)

Outlander models feature the exclusive D.E.S.S.™ anti-theft system. The ATV will not start unless a coded microchip in the key matches a code embedded in the engine control module. It means only you can start your vehicle.

2012 Can-Am Outlander 800R Review

The Outlander 800R has been reinvented from the ground up. With an industry-leading engine and performance, plus innovations that boost ride quality and comfort, and offer more precise handling. The new chassis features Geometric Contact Control to help control unwanted vehicle behaviors. All with updated look that is modern and muscular.

2012 Can-Am Outlander 800R Key Features

2012 Can-Am Outlander 800R Features and Benefits

71-hp Rotax 800R V-twin, liquid-cooled engine
Best-in-class power with 71-hp. The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant has four valves per cylinder, a 46-mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡ fuel injectors. The EFI system keeps the 800R engine's performance at its peak and a progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI)
The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors' systems. This ensures the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. With fewer moving parts than competitive systems. The proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (236 mm) and includes a removable external sway bar. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.

Redesigned air box
The new air box was reconfigured and placed at a higher and more centralized location for filtering and processing air. The no-tools air box features a dual-room design that improves the air filtration process and the quality of air by capturing dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. Along with the relocated air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the machine’s capabilities in the mud and water.

New Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame with Geometric Contact Control
The next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame. The welded-steel frame incorporates new processes and updated geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. The more efficient SST G2 design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far fewer components, materials and welds.

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking
For ease of use, you can count on the CVT transmission that features engine braking to help slow you when going downhill.

Includes dive-control geometry for better cornering and vehicle-braking dynamics and anti-kickback geometry for better steering feel. The 9 in. of suspension travel increase trail comfort and aggressive riding capability.

Center skid plate
The new high-strength skid plate on the Outlander 1000 and 800R is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to slide over certain obstacles. Made of 5-mm thick injection-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

Visco-Lok† auto-locking 4x4 front differential
The Visco-Lok† 4 x 4 system constantly monitors front wheel speed and, if it detects one wheel spinning faster than the other, it progressively sends more power to the wheel with the better traction. And it does it all without the rider having to lift a finger.

214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
The 1000 and 800R now feature outboard hydraulic disc brakes. The front setup uses large 214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214-mm hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.

Carlisle Badlands 26-in. tires
Mated to the cast-aluminum wheels are rugged 26-in. (66cm) Carlisle Badland tires that offer superior performance in a variety of conditions and terrain.

High-strength, multi-function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system
The new Outlander ATVs have redesigned cargo racks offering more convenience, greater durability, improved versatility and industry-leading cargo hauling prowess. High-strength, reinforced composite racks replace the tubular steel setup. The innovative racks feature an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated ridges for improved cargo holding.

LinQ accessories are already available from Can-Am dealers. Combined rack capacity is 300-lb (100-lb front / 200-lb rear).

5.7-gal (21.6L) water-resistant rear storage box
A huge 5.7-gallon (21.6L) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located beneath the rear cargo rack. The more convenient location means riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.


2-in. receiver hitch
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a new 2-in. receiver hitch as standard equipment.


Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers succeeded at producing a more maintenance-friendly setup on the new Outlander. The battery was relocated beneath the seat to offer easier access and improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays were also placed under the seat.

230-W headlights. The most lightning output of any ATV in the industry
Restyled headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced visibility for trail riding. On high beam, the twin 60-watt projectors and dual 55-watt reflectors give the Outlander 230 watts of visual clarity.


Dual taillights
The new Outlander 1000 and 800R taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.


Large 5.4-gal (20.5L) fuel tank
25 percent more fuel capacity, which means you can ride longer. Total capacity is 5.4 gallons (20.5 L).

Key Features:
FIRST-EVER SEAT SUSPENSION
The exclusive Comfort Ride Seat Suspension™ features a spring beneath the passenger seat, adding another 1" of travel to the 10.25" of travel on the legendary Polaris IRS. Our IRS is angled rearward for even greater comfort and to reduce squat while accelerating.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING
The smoothest, most responsive power steering available. Plus Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds. Our EPS let's you ride all day with less fatigue from steering.

LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED IRS
Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for 10.25" of travel leading to a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.

ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT
With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrow vehicle width at the knees and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.

ANTI-KICKBACK STEERING
Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tire and having the long Dual A-Arm Front Suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts to the handlebars from trail and ground obstacle

LOCK & RIDE® PASSENGER HAND GRIPS
These unique hand grips go on and off in seconds, giving you the flexibility of having grips available for the passenger when needed, or removing them when needing to use the back rack for one-up riding or strapping down equipment and gear.

UNRIVALED 550 ENGINE
The liquid-cooled, single-cylinder 550 engine delivers smooth, efficient power and plenty of it for working, hunting and trail riding.

ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE
Still the best automatic 4x4 system out there, the AWD engages all four tires when the rear wheels slip and you need more forward traction. Reverts back to 2WD when you don't.

ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)
Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15 mph).

STANDARD FRONT STORAGE AND ACCESSORY REAR BOX
Large front storage has 8.2 gallons of capacity. For more storage, remove the passenger seat and Lock & Ride® hand grips and replace it with an optional Lock & Ride accessory box with 2.5-gallon capacity.

HIGH CAPACITY, HIGH-MOUNTED RADIATOR
The radiator is raised high to keep it out of the mud. It's large surface area provides more cooling capacity to your machine. And with removable Lock & Ride® front rack, it's easily accessible and easier to clean.

2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 Review

The reinvented Outlander ATVs now include the brand-new Outlander 1000, featuring the muscular 82-hp Rotax 1000 engine that leads the industry. Plus, the new chassis helps controlling unwanted vehicle behaviors. Along with innovations for better ride quality and comfort, and more precise handling.

The Outlander 1000 and 800R models have been reinvented. With industry-leading engines to take on any off-road adventures, plus innovations that boost ride quality, comfort and precise handling. The Geometric Contact Control principle helps control unwanted vehicle behaviors. We asked riders what they wanted. Your feedback meshed with Can-Am DNA to create the new Outlander.


2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 Key Features

- 82-hp Rotax 1000, V-Twin, liquid-cooled, SOHC, 8-valve (4-valve/ cyl)
- New from the ground up SST G2 frame
- Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI)
- New high-strength multi-function rack design with innovative and exclusive LinQ quick-attach accessory system
- 5.7 US gal (21.4L) water-resistant rear storage box

2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 Features and Benefits

New 82-hp Rotax 1000 V-Twin, liquid-cooled engine
This engine is the most powerful in the industry with 82-hp. The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant has four valves per cylinder, a 46-mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡ fuel injectors. The EFI system keeps the 1000 engine's performance at its peak and a progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.

Redesigned air box
The new air box was reconfigured and placed at a higher and more centralized location for filtering and processing air. The no-tools air box features a dual-room design that improves the air filtration process and the quality of air by capturing dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. Along with the relocated air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the machine’s capabilities in the mud and water.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI)
The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors' systems. This ensures the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. With fewer moving parts than competitive systems. The proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (236 mm) and includes a removable external sway bar. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.

New Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame with Geometric Contact Control
The next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame. The welded-steel frame incorporates new processes and updated geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. The more efficient SST G2 design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far fewer components, materials and welds.

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking
For ease of use, you can count on the CVT transmission that features engine braking to help slow you when going downhill.

Center skid plate
The new high-strength skid plate on the Outlander 1000 and 800R is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to slide over certain obstacles. Made of 5-mm thick injection-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE)

Double A-arm with dive-control geometry
Includes dive-control geometry for better cornering and vehicle-braking dynamics and anti-kickback geometry for better steering feel. The 9 in. of suspension travel increase trail comfort and aggressive riding capability.


Visco-Lok† auto-locking 4x4 front differential
The Visco-Lok† 4 x 4 system constantly monitors front wheel speed and, if it detects one wheel spinning faster than the other, it progressively sends more power to the wheel with the better traction. And it does it all without the rider having to lift a finger.

214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
The 1000 and 800R now feature outboard hydraulic disc brakes. The front setup uses large 214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214-mm hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.

Carlisle Badlands 26-in. tires
Mated to the cast-aluminum wheels are rugged 26-in. (66cm) Carlisle Badland tires that offer superior performance in a variety of conditions and terrain.

High-strength, multi-function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system
The new Outlander ATVs have redesigned cargo racks offering more convenience, greater durability, improved versatility and industry-leading cargo hauling prowess. High-strength, reinforced composite racks replace the tubular steel setup. The innovative racks feature an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated ridges for improved cargo holding. Numerous edges and holes improve use with tie-downs and bungee cords. Additional predetermined “cutouts” were also added for use with Can-Am’s exclusive LinQ accessory system, which is adaptable and customizable for various uses and products. LinQ accessories are already available from Can-Am dealers. Combined rack capacity is 300-lb (100-lb front / 200-lb rear).

5.7-gal (21.6L) water-resistant rear storage box
A huge 5.7-gallon (21.6L) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located beneath the rear cargo rack. The more convenient location means riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.

2-in. receiver hitch
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a new 2-in. receiver hitch as standard equipment.

Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers succeeded at producing a more maintenance-friendly setup on the new Outlander. The battery was relocated beneath the seat to offer easier access and improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays were also placed under the seat.

230-W headlights. The most lightning output of any ATV in the industry
Restyled headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced visibility for trail riding. On high beam, the twin 60-watt projectors and dual 55-watt reflectors give the Outlander 230 watts of visual clarity.

Dual taillights
The new Outlander 1000 and 800R taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.


Large 5.4-gal (20.5L) fuel tank
25 percent more fuel capacity, which means you can ride longer. Total capacity is 5.4 gallons (20.5 L).

Multi-function digital gauge
Tells the rider everything in one easy glance. Our easy-to-read multi-function gauge is equipped with a digital information center including a speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip meter, gear position, hour meter, engine hour meter, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge and a clock function.


D.E.S.S.™ (Digitally Encoded Security System)
Outlander models feature the exclusive D.E.S.S.™ anti-theft system. The ATV will not start unless a coded microchip in the key matches a code embedded in the engine control module. It means only you can start your vehicle.

Computer-optimized cast-aluminum wheels
The center-less design reduces unsprung weight and offers improved strength. Durability was increased in strategic areas while excess material was eliminated in other spots to save weight.

2012 Suzuki Ozark 250 Review

The Ozark 250 offers everything you’re looking for in a lightweight utility-sport ATV — and more. Its sleek styling reflects its versatile utility-sport capabilities. And when it comes to value, the Ozark’s list of standard features launches it to the head of the class.

Practical. Convenient. Value.

The Suzuki Ozark 250 joins these three simple words together in smart style.

Practical on the farm, convenient with the broad powerband, automatic clutch, and electric start. Delivering good value with a host of practical features, low-maintenance design and an affordable price. An automatic cam-chain tensioner and grease nipple at the universal joint both help reduce maintenance. Independent double-wishbone coil-over dual-shock front suspension and single-shock swingarm rear suspension both deliver a full 140mm of wheel travel.

There's a large 4-litre storage box under the comfortable, contoured seat and full floorboards with drain holes to help deflect spray and splashes.
