2013 Can-Am Outlander 800R Features and Benefits

Rotax 800R V-Twin engine
The 71-horsepower (15kW for EC homologated models), 80ยบ 799cc V-twin engine powering the Renegade 800R ATV continues its stronghold in the 800-class and is more than capable of holding its own against vehicles with larger displacement levels*. The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant has four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 46mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡ fuel injectors for instantaneous throttle response. With an unprecedented power-to-weight ratio, gobs of torque, electronic fuel injection, and progressive throttle control the Rotax engine is powerful, efficient and smooth in any situation. And EFI means the 800R engine always operates at its peak, regardless of temperature or altitude.

Large Radiator
The large capacity radiator improves cooling for optimal engine performance for both work and play.

High-grade exhaust and silencer
The engine package includes an updated exhaust system and a durable end cap/cover contribute to the exhaust's upper-class appearance. The new system remains true to the Can-Am tradition of producing a throaty and impressive exhaust note, yet adheres to strict dB and emissions standards.

Dual-room air box
The Renegade 800R air box is placed at a higher and more centralised 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 air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the vehicle's capabilities in the mud and water. Accessing the filter for maintenance and inspection only requires the removal of the seat, console plastic and exterior push plate. The air filter is securely attached to the air box housing with a new screw-on system and push plate that work in tandem to create a tight seal.

Easy access for maintenance
The Renegade 800R ATV have a maintenance-friendly setup. The battery is beneath the seat to offer easier access and improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays were also placed conveniently under the seat.

CVT Transmission
For performance in wet conditions and terrain, the CVT system has a 13-bolt sealing system and an integrated drain plug that's easy to access if the need ever arises to remove water from the CVT housing. The CVT intake is positioned in a high location in the chassis for optimal performance in wet riding conditions. Automatic transmission with standard engine braking featuring high, low, park, neutral and reverse is also included.

Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 Frame
The Renegade 800R uses the next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 chassis from BRP. The welded-steel SST G2 frame offers increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. The SST G2 design offers also increases strength, provides a lower centre of gravity, improves handling and requires far less components, materials and welds than a traditional tube frame. The SST G2 frame also stronger torsional stiffness to more properly meets the high expectations of the end user for both work and play.

Visco-Lok front differential
The progressive auto-locking Visco-Lok‡ front differential is unique to the ATV industry. The innovative system constantly monitors front wheel speed and, if it detects one wheel spinning more quickly than the other, it progressively sends additional power to the wheel with better traction. Wheel hop or driveline wind-up is also eliminated to keep the system transparent to the operator. It's also a fully locking design, which means no need for either a rev or speed limiter. Visco-Lok QE (Quicker Engaging) is available on the Renegade X xc.

Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
The Renegade ATV retains its race-proven double A-arm setup and uses five-way preload HPG shocks. Front-end suspension travel is 9.3 inches (23.6 cm). Dive-control geometry tightly controls the roll-centre, especially when entering corners. The setup also inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the operator by locating the knuckle in the wheel.

Trailing Torsional Independent (TTI) rear suspension
The TTI, which offers up to 75% less moving parts than competitive systems, was designed to eliminate scrub and camber changes when the suspension moves up and down and keep the quad in straight line. Unique to BRP, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension offers increased rigidity and 9.5 inches (24.1 cm) of travel. A removable external sway bar and lower pivot points improve geometric squatting to improve traction and the transferring of power to the ground.

FOX HPG shocks
The Renegade 800R wears preload-adjustable high-pressure gas (HPG) shocks, front and rear, with a specific calibration to soak up both high- and low-speed bumps and keep the ride smooth.

12-inch (30.5 cm) cast-aluminium wheels
The Renegade 800R model has innovative computer-optimised wheels. A centre-less wheel design reduces unsprung weight but offers improved strength. Durability increased in strategic areas while excess material was eliminated in other areas to save weight.

25-inch (66cm) ITP Holeshot ATR tyres
This versatile tire provides proven, all-around trail performance and impressive traction.

214mm hydraulic disc brakes
The front setup uses two large 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use two (one for EC homologated models), twin-piston caliper and 214mm hydraulic disc brakes. The system also includes separate front and rear hand brake levers for optimal control.

Lighting
For improved nighttimes clarity and visibility on the trail, the Renegade 800R ATV comes with 240 watts (4 x 60 w) of lighting power for the most in the industry. Four projector-type headlights bring unequalled styling and performance to the Renegade. The taillights offer a stylish design that blends in with the rear plastic and offers increased visibility for trail riding.

Fuel tank
The large fuel tank holds 5.4 US gallons (20.5 litres) of gas, so you can have more time to explore.

Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.TM)
D.E.S.S.™ is the ATV industry's lone factory-installed anti-theft device. The system utilises electronic key codes that are required to match each specific ATV's ECM. The machine will not start unless the coded microchip in the key matches the code pre-installed in the engine control module. Two keys are included with each model. The performance key allows the ATV to operate at maximum performance. The Normal key limits acceleration and top speed.

Adjustable-width hollow rear axle from 46 in. [1.17 m] to 50 in. [1.27 m] by increments of 0.5 in. [12.7 mm] per spacer - Many of top motocross pros are choosing to race with a rear width that is slightly narrower than the front-end width. This is possible with the DS 450 X mx Chromoly 4140 adjustable-width hollow axle. Adjustment from 46 (1,168 mm) to 50 inches (1,270 mm) is possible with 0.5-inch (13 mm) spacers.

Black aluminum ITP 10x5 T-9 GP front wheels

7-in. (179 mm) factory-set ride height (175-lb rider) - Straight from the factory, the DS 450 X mx is prepped with a ride height of seven inches (178 mm). This height, along with the ATV being “dialed in” for a 175-pound rider (with gear), gives the DS 450 X mx a lower center of gravity and allows you to rail through the corners with confidence.

Aluminum 6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar with square pad

NEW X -package coloration, graphics and seat cover - Graphics and seat cover exclusive to the X package.

20x6-10 ITP QuadCross MX PRO front tires - High-Industry-leading performance ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires give maximized traction on track surfaces, especially for blue-grooved. Up front, 20-inch (508 mm) ITP QuadCross MX Pro tires mounted on 10-inch (254 mm) black, aluminum ITP T-9 wheels

Double A-arms with adjustable caster - + 2-inch double A-arms with adjustable caster and camber give a 50-inch front stance

2013 Can-Am Outlander 650 ATV pictures. 480x360 pixels


2013 Can-Am Outlander 650 Key Features

INDUSTRY-LEADING PERFORMANCE

Highlights : Outlander 800r / 650 / 500
Rotax® V-Twin engine options
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking
Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame with Geometric Contact Control
Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension

2013 Can-Am Outlander 650 Features and Benefits

Industry-leading performance

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

Large radiator with increased cooling capacity
The larger, more efficient radiator offers almost double the cooling capacity and keeps the engine running cool for optimal Industry-leading performance. The radiator capacity grew by 14 kW with the engineering updates.

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.

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.

Rotax® V-Twin engine options
Available in a 46-hp Rotax 500, 62-hp Rotax 650 or 71-hp Rotax 800R liquid-cooled V-Twin engines with four valves per cylinder and overhead camshafts. With twin fuel injectors that supply efficient fuel delivery into the combustion chamber for powerful, yet precise performance.

Precision-engineered handling
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 Precision-engineered handling. The more efficient SST G2 design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better Precision-engineered handling and requires far fewer components, materials and welds.

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 inches of suspension travel increase trail comfort and aggressive riding capability.

214-mm ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic twin-piston calipers
The front and rear setup use large 214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power.
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.

26-in. Carlisle Badland tires
Mated to the steel black wheels are rugged 26-in. (66cm) Carlisle Badland tires that offer superior Industry-leading performance in a variety of conditions and terrain.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension
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. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.
Rider-focused design

1,300-lb (590 kg) towing capacity
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. 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.

Multi-function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system
The 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 (21.4L) water-resistant rear storage box
A huge 5.7-gallon (21.4L) 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.

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-W projectors and dual 55-W reflectors give the Outlander 230 -W of visual clarity.

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 (bar graph RPM, bottom bar numerical), odometer, trip meter, gear position, hour meter, engine hour meter, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge and a clock function.

Center skid plate
The high-strength skid plate 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).

Dual taillights
The Outlander taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.

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

Boasting the same advanced technology as the extraordinary KingQuad 750AXi, it's engineered to help you cut the work day down to size - or conquer the toughest trails. The 500AXi Power Steering offers plenty of class-leading features including advanced power steering providing lighter steering and more responsive handling, while its fuel-injected 493cc engine gives the 500AXi exceptional performance.
