Rotax V-Twin 1000
A 80º 976cc liquid-cooled Rotax V-Twin powerplant is at the core of the
Outlander MAX and produces an industry-leading* 82 horsepower. With an
unmatched power-to-weight ratio, 65.1 lbs.-ft. of torque and electronic fuel
injection (46mm throttle body), the single overhead cam engine is as efficient
and refined as it is raw and invigorating. Regardless of temperature or altitude,
EFI ensures optimal performance from the engine at all times.
Despite its unprecedented performance levels, the eight-valve engine
remains controllable and offers useable power for a wide array of riders and
situations. Progressive throttle control means the power remains manageable
in slow-speed circumstances or during a flat-out sprint.
Dual-room no-tools air box
Like the standard Outlander, the MAX lineup has a new air box design that is 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. 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.
CVT transmission with improved cover
The CVT system now features a more secure 13-bolt system for an improved seal and better performance in wet conditions.
A dedicated drain plug is built into the cover and easily accessible if the need ever arises to remove water from the CVT
housing. The CVT intake was repositioned to a higher 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.
New radiator
The larger, more efficient radiator offers almost double the cooling capacity than its predecessor and keeps the engine
running cool for optimal performance. The radiator capacity grew by almost 14 kW (up to 27 kW) with the engineering
updates. Engine side covers also channel warm air back and away from the rider.
New exhaust and silencer
The engine package includes an updated exhaust system, and a durable end cap/cover contribute to the exhaust's upperclass
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.
New from the ground up SST G2 frame
The Outlander MAX 1000 uses the next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 frame
from BRP. The welded-steel frame incorporates new processes and updated geometry for increased structural integrity, improved
durability and precision handling. The more efficient SST design offers increased strength compared to a traditional
tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far less components, materials and welds.
Even with the new frame, engineers incorporated fewer parts on the new model than the frames used on previous
model-year Outlander MAX ATVs. The new, more durable frame can accept more than two times greater force and has twice
the torsional stiffness as the original chassis. This frame, more properly meets the high expectations of the end user for
both work and play.
59-inch Wheelbase
The 2013 Outlander MAX 1000 (like all MAX models) has an 8-inch longer wheelbase over the standard Outlander. The
added length allows the passenger to sit in front of the rear axle for improved handling and comfort. The stretched design
also improves the ride for single riders.
Redesigned double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
The front suspension features a dive-control and anti-kickback geometry that positions the pivot points in space instead
of simply adding stiffer shocks and springs. The geometry also inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the operator by
locating the knuckle in the wheel. This front suspension gives the Outlander improved ride quality and comfort without
hampering handling.
The 2013 model uses five-way preload shocks that offer more than an inch of additional suspension travel for both
trail comfort and aggressive riding situations. Front-end suspension travel is 9.0 inches (22.9 cm).
Redesigned Trailing Torsional Independent (TTI) rear suspension
Unique to Can-Am, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension
has been reconfigured to offer increased rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3
inches (23.6 cm). The TTI, which offers less moving parts than competitive systems,
was designed to eliminate tire scrub and camber changes when the suspension moves
up and down. This setup improves ride quality and suspension travel, keeps the ATV in
a straight line and requires less steering adjustments than competitive models. The
updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction
and the transfer of power to the ground as well as a slightly different feel compared to
previous Outlander MAX models.
Visco-Lok front differential
The Visco-Lok system offers a progressive, auto-locking design that is unique to the ATV industry. Riders can simply focus
on riding while letting the smart and fine-tuned Visco-Lok system handle the traction and four-wheel-drive differential lock
duties. 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. It also eliminates wheel hop or
driveline wind-up helping it to remain transparent to the operator. The system offers 100 percent locking without the need
for a rev or speed limiter.
214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
Much like the Renegade an Outlander one-up ATVs, the 2013 Outlander MAX 1000 family now features outboard hydraulic
disc brakes. The front setup uses large 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the
rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214mm hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.
New 12-inch (30.5 cm ) cast-aluminum wheels
Can-Am designers equipped the revamped Outlander MAX with innovative
computer-optimized wheels. A center-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.
26-inch (66 cm ) tires
The MAX comes standard with 26-inch (66cm) Carlisle Badlands tires that
offer superior performance in a variety of conditions and terrain.
Standard skid plate
The new high-strength skid plate is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to
slide over certain obstacles.
New styling
The 2013 Outlander MAX 1000 features a modern, cutting-edge styling that carries the recognizable sightlines of the Can-Am
brand DNA and emulates the Outlander single-rider ATV that was redesigned last year. Can-Am engineers and designers
added a more muscular facade and a more seamless makeup, especially when integrated with the revamped cargo racks.
Less apparent fasteners produce a cleaner, refined look.
Enhanced passenger seat w/ Dynamic Passenger Comfort (DPC)
The redesigned (G2 SST) Outlander MAX ATVs have newly developed passenger ergonomics to produce the most comfortable and
consumer-friendly two-rider vehicle to date. DPC ergonomics brings a completely redesigned passenger seat and other
updates to improve the overall ride and place the passenger in a more desirable position.
The taller backrest is more supportive and also pivots 6 degrees to help reduce kick back to passenger during
acceleration and climbs. Can-Am engineers also added regressive flex to the top and sides to enhance comfort
levels. The seat is also angled and formed to provide better "groove," more overall support and minimize
passenger movement in off-road conditions.
Redesigned passenger handholds
The new higher, angled rear passenger handle position allows for flex while riding
and also reduces the overall impact to the passenger's hands. The handles also
allow for numerous hand positions to enhance the passenger's riding experience
and comfort level. The handles are also attached to the seat, so they don't limit
rear rack space or prohibit single-rider comfort during one-up riding.
Improved passenger footrest
The foot peg angle and depth has been improved on all MAX models with the G2 SST frame. Along with improved comfort,
the footrests also have a third row of foot grips to improve lateral grip.
Convertible Rack System (CRS) w/ box
The Outlander MAX is the lone two-up ATV that comes standard with a Convertible
Rack System (CRS) for transforming the ATV into a single-rider machine. The transition
literally takes just seconds and eliminates the touring look and feel when riding
alone. The fact that the passenger handholds are attached to the seat means they
don't inhibit rider movement or take up rear rack space. The CRS system includes a
small storage box that uses the LinQ system and removes the void when the passenger
seat is removed. The box is also designed to fit on the Outlander MAX racks for
additional storage. A rear optional cargo box is also available from PAC.
New high-strength multi-function racks with innovative LinQ system
The redesigned cargo racks offer more convenience and improved versatility. 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. Engineers also added numerous edges and holes for use with tie-downs and bungee cords. Additional
predetermined "cutouts" were also added for use with Can-Am's exclusive LinQ quick-attach accessory system,
which is adaptable and customizable for various uses and products. The new racks have a combined rack capacity of 300
pounds (100 front / 200 rear).
Water-resistant rear storage box
An industry exclusive, a huge 5.7-gallon (21.4-liter) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located
beneath the rear cargo rack. The Outlander MAX ATV is the only two-up vehicle to offer full rear rack capacity. Riders can
access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.
1,300 lbs towing capacity
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a new 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment.
Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers produced a more maintenance-friendly setup on the new Outlander MAX 1000. 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 conveniently under the seat.
230-watt lighting from headlights
Restyled headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced visibility for
trail riding and nighttime use. On high beam, the twin 60-watt reflectors and dual
55-watt projectors give the Outlander 230 watts of visual clarity. The Outlander MAX
1000 family features the most lighting output of any ATV in the industry.
New dual taillights
The taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.
Larger fuel tank
The new Outlander has 25 percent more fuel capacity, which means longer seat time for work and play. Total capacity is
5.4 gallons (20.5 liters).
Multi-function digital gauge
The LCD display features a new shape for an improved fit-and-finish with a
new exterior and updated plastic. The LCD provides the rider with a speedometer,
tachometer (bar graph RPM, bottom bar numerical RPM), odometer,
trip and hour meters, diagnostic center, gear position, engine hour meter, 4x4
indicator, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge, clock and even an auto
shut off after 15 minutes.
D.E.S.S. (Digitally Encoded Security System) Keys
D.E.S.S. is the ATV industry's lone factory-installed anti-theft device. The system utilizes 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.
Customization ready
The Outlander ATVs are customization ready, offering a full line of Can-Am performance accessories and come pre-wired
for a winch. |
