2013 Can-Am Outlander Xmr 1000 Review
Mud-riding enthusiasts demand an ATV that not only dominates in the best mud-riding areas, but looks impressive doing it. Replacing the successful Outlander™ 800R X mr¹, the all-new 2013 Can-Am® OutlanderTM 1000 X mr is purpose-built to conquer every mud hole it encounters. With its menacing façade, innovative mud-specific setup and unequalled power, the 1000 X mr is as refined and it is tough.
The new X mr uses the new Outlander MAX platform and long 59-inch (150 cm) wheelbase for proven performance in the deepest mud. The muscular, 82-HP 976cc Rotax® V-Twin engine supplies ample power for churning through the slop. We also use a new, larger radiator on the front rack, so it's as high on the ATV as possible and out of the mud and water for optimal temperature control. The CVT intake, CVT exhaust and engine air intake are also located as high as possible in the machine to keep mud and water out of important components to keep the X mr going even in the worst conditions. Then BRP added a complete FOX‡ Air Controlled Suspension system so riders can select a preferred ride height: higher for getting to the mud hole and lower for riding to and from the mud. BRP adds premium ITP‡ wheels and 30-inch (76 cm) Gorilla‡ Axle Silverback tyres for a complete mud-riding package.
The new model year also brought other key updates compared to the previous generation X mr model. These changes include the redesigned X-package graphics and sponsor logos, reconfigured foot mounts, ITP SS wheel caps, as well as analogue / digital gauge package.
The Outlander X mr is the machine that set the mud-riding standard in the industry. Now the Outlander X mr features the 82-hp Rotax 1000 V-Twin engine; our exclusive next-generation chassis extended to 59 in. (150 cm) and engineered using Geometric Contact Control principles; front and rear Air Control Suspension (ACS) with FOX8 Air Assist HPG shocks. Our partnership with Gorilla Axle gives this ATV the finest mud-performance tires.

2013 Can-Am Outlander Xmr 1000 Features and Benefits
Industry-leading performance
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.
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).
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
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 Industry-leading performance at its peak and a progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.
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.
Precision-engineered handling
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.
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.
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.
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.
Rider-focused design
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Specific to Package
59-in. Wheelbase
Uses the 59-in. wheelbase of the Outlander MAX platform for improved Industry-leading performance in the deepest mud.
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.
Optional industry-exclusive NEXT G-1 Vista camouflage
Analog/digital gauge
State-of-the-art instrumentation including analog tachometer and speedometer, and a digital information center.
Relocated radiator
The radiator is relocated to the front rack, keeping it high up on the ATV and out of the mud and water.
3,000-lb WARN? 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.
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.
30-in. (76.2 cm) Gorilla Axle Silverback? tires
Designed by Gorilla Axle for mud riding and racing, these tires were developed to go in the deepest mudholes of east Texas and Louisiana. The tires give mud Industry-leading performance, yet a smooth ride when traveling to the mud hole.
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.
Mud riding footrests
For an optimized ergonomic position while riding in the deepest mud.
Aluminum taper-profile handlebar with wind deflectors and square pad
Premium look and protection from brush and cold.
14-in. ITP? SS312 cast-aluminum wheels
Large ITP cast aluminum wheels to give the Outlander X mr an aggressive look. one of the strongest, lightest and best looking one-piece aluminum wheels on the market today. Custom SS wheel cap
Front and rear Air Control Suspension (ACS) with FOX? Air Assist HPG shocks
The industry's first air-controlled suspension. Via an onboard compressor, the system adjusts the front and rear high-pressure gas FOX Air assist shocks to six rider-selectable preload levels. This allows the suspension of the X mr to be adjusted on-the-fly depending on terrain or vehicle load. It also comes with a hose that can be used to fill tires or other accessories while out on the trail.
