2013 Can-Am Outlander MAX 500 DPS Utility ATV Package

Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) // The Can-Am DPS system is outfitted with three separate selectable levels of steering assistance: Minimum, Medium or Maximum. Dynamic Power Steering provides variable steering assistance no matter what mode the rider chooses for the terrain. 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.

Visco-Lok QE // QE stands for quicker engagement. All DPS-equipped models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even
quicker engagement of the front differential. It progressively transfers power from a slipping front wheel to the gripping one – automatically with no buttons to push or levers to pull. Plus, there’s no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the system is totally transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer. Can lock up to 100 percent with no rev or speed limiter. This differential, unlike some competitor’s differentials, does not have a speed or rev limiter.

12 Inch Cast-aluminum wheels // The 12-inch cast-aluminum wheels with a centre-less design are outfitted with 26-inch Carlisle Badlands tires give the 500 with DPS a different look than the base Outlander 500.
