Choose 82 or 101 Horsepower

The Outlander 850/1000R lineup offers two high-output Rotax V-twin engine calibrations.

Both engines are paired with electronic fuel injection, liquid cooling and Can-Am’s pDrive continuously variable transmission.

Rotax 850

The Rotax 850 produces:

• 82 horsepower
• 66 lb-ft of torque
• V-twin power delivery
• Electronic fuel injection
• Liquid cooling
• pDrive primary CVT

The 850 offers substantial performance for trail riding, towing, property maintenance and technical terrain without stepping up to the highest-output 1000R.

It is available in several versatile packages, including the Outlander DPS, XT, X mr, MAX DPS and MAX XT.

Rotax 1000R

The Rotax 1000R produces:

• 101 horsepower
• 69 lb-ft of torque
• High-flow radiator cooling
• Electronic fuel injection
• Liquid cooling
• Model-specific pDrive calibration

It is the most powerful engine offered in the current Outlander ATV lineup and is available across trail, touring, mud and backcountry packages.

The 1000R is a strong choice for riders who want maximum acceleration, regularly carry a passenger, tow heavy loads or operate in challenging terrain.

Responsive pDrive Transmission

Every Outlander 850/1000R uses Can-Am’s pDrive primary continuously variable transmission.

Available transmission positions include:

• Low
• High
• Neutral
• Reverse
• Park

The pDrive system is designed to provide quick response, smooth shifting and durable performance. The 1000R receives a calibration tailored to its increased output.

Low range is particularly useful when:

• Towing a loaded trailer
• Climbing steep terrain
• Travelling through deep mud
• Manoeuvring at low speed
• Carrying heavy equipment
• Navigating rocks and deep ruts

Work, Standard and Sport Modes

The Outlander 850/1000R lineup includes three selectable riding modes.

Work mode provides smoother, more controlled throttle response for towing, carrying equipment and low-speed operation.

Standard mode offers balanced performance for everyday trail riding and utility use.

Sport mode sharpens the throttle response for riders who want stronger acceleration and a more aggressive feel.

These modes allow one ATV to adapt to work around the property, relaxed trail rides and more energetic recreational use.

Intelligent Engine Braking

Intelligent Engine Braking helps manage deceleration when the rider releases the throttle.

This can provide additional control while descending hills, navigating technical terrain or towing equipment. Instead of delivering a single fixed level of engine braking, the system works with the ATV’s electronic controls to help create smoother and more predictable deceleration.

Four-Wheel-Drive Systems

The drivetrain included with an Outlander 850/1000R depends on the selected package and engine.

Visco-Lok QE

DPS and selected XT packages use Visco-Lok QE, Can-Am’s quick-engaging auto-locking front differential.

When wheel slip is detected, the system automatically directs additional power toward the front wheel with better traction. The rider does not need to manually manage a conventional front differential lock.

Visco-4Lok

Higher-equipped 1000R packages and the X mr use Visco-4Lok.

Selectable settings include:

• Two-wheel drive
• Four-wheel drive
• Locked four-wheel drive

The locked mode fully engages the front differential when maximum traction is required. This is especially useful in deep mud, snow, loose soil, difficult climbs and uneven backcountry terrain.

Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering

Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering is standard throughout the current Outlander 850/1000R package range.

The rider can choose between three levels of steering assistance based on terrain, speed and personal preference.

Higher assistance can reduce steering effort during slow, technical riding, while a lower setting can provide more direct feedback on open trails. Power steering is particularly useful with larger tires, four-wheel drive engaged or a passenger aboard.

Advanced Suspension and Stable Handling

Standard trail packages use arched double A-arm suspension with:

• 10.8 inches of front suspension travel
• 12 inches of rear suspension travel
• Twin-tube shocks
• An available front sway bar on selected 1000R packages

The arched suspension arms provide additional clearance around obstacles, while the geometry is designed to create a stable, controlled ride across ruts, rocks and uneven terrain.

Specialized packages use different shock, tire and suspension combinations. XT-P models offer FOX Podium QS3 or available KYB Smart-Shox equipment, while Backcountry and X mr packages use SHOWA gas shocks tuned for their intended terrain.

Available Smart-Shox Suspension

Smart-Shox is Can-Am’s electronically controlled semi-active suspension system.

Available on selected XT-P packages and standard on the MAX Limited, Smart-Shox continually adjusts damping to suit terrain and vehicle movement. The system is designed to improve comfort, stability, cornering control and resistance to bottoming out without requiring the rider to stop and manually adjust the shocks.

This can be especially valuable during long rides where terrain changes frequently.

Up to 1,830 Pounds of Towing Capacity

The Outlander 850/1000R can tow up to 1,830 pounds when properly equipped and operated within Can-Am’s specifications.

Potential towing applications include:

• Utility trailers
• Firewood trailers
• Hunting equipment
• Landscaping supplies
• Farm and property tools
• Trail-maintenance equipment
• Camping supplies
• Compatible lawn and garden attachments

Actual towing capability depends on terrain, trailer design, tongue weight, load distribution and operating conditions. Owners should follow all instructions and limits in the operator guide.

Integrated Storage and LinQ Compatibility

The Outlander 850/1000R provides multiple integrated storage areas, including front drop-down storage, removable rear storage and a compartment for a phone or smaller personal items.

Selected packages add USB charging, while the LinQ-ready rack system allows compatible cargo boxes, bags, coolers and other accessories to be attached without traditional tools.

This setup can be adapted for:

• Trail equipment
• Hunting gear
• Fishing supplies
• Work tools
• Emergency and recovery equipment
• Food and coolers
• Rain gear
• Camping equipment

Built for Trail Riding

The Outlander 850/1000R combines strong engine output with a stable chassis, substantial suspension travel and available terrain-adaptive suspension.

For everyday recreational riding, the DPS and XT models provide a strong balance of performance and comfort. Riders seeking more advanced suspension and braking can move up to the XT-P, while those planning longer two-person rides can choose one of the MAX configurations.

Useful trail features include:

• Power steering
• Selectable riding modes
• Intelligent Engine Braking
• Available locking front differential
• Full skid-plate protection
• LED lighting
• Integrated storage
• Available factory winch
• Single-rider and passenger-ready models

Hunting and Remote Property Use

The Outlander 850/1000R can be outfitted for hunting, forestry work and remote property access.

Its towing capability, cargo system and available winch make it useful for transporting equipment and working on large rural properties. Dark Wildland Camo, MultiCam Dark Camo and Stealth Black finishes are available on selected packages.

Potential applications include:

• Reaching blinds and tree stands
• Checking trail cameras
• Maintaining food plots
• Carrying hunting equipment
• Servicing remote camps
• Moving firewood
• Clearing trails
• Towing a small equipment trailer
• Recovering harvested game where permitted
• Inspecting private land

Hunters who place a higher priority on quiet operation may also want to compare the Can-Am Outlander Electric.

Always follow Ontario hunting regulations and rules governing motorized vehicle use.

Property and Cottage Applications

The Outlander 850/1000R is also suitable for large properties, cottages and rural estates where owners want one machine for work and recreation.

Common uses include:

• Moving landscaping materials
• Carrying chainsaws and tools
• Towing a utility trailer
• Maintaining private roads
• Clearing storm debris
• Accessing remote cottage areas
• Carrying fishing and camping equipment
• Supporting winter maintenance
• Inspecting fences and property boundaries

For work that does not require 82 or 101 horsepower, the Can-Am Outlander PRO may offer a more utility-focused alternative.

Two-Passenger MAX Models

Can-Am Outlander MAX packages use an extended platform designed specifically for a rider and passenger.

The passenger area includes dedicated seating, handholds and foot supports. The longer wheelbase also provides additional space while maintaining the traction, suspension and towing capability expected from the Outlander lineup.

MAX models are available in DPS, XT, XT-P, Backcountry and Limited configurations.

Passengers should only be carried on an ATV specifically designed and equipped for passenger use.
