Rotax V-Twin 1000
At the core of the Outlander rests a dominant 80º 976cc liquid-cooled Rotax V-Twin power plant that produces an industryleading*
82 horsepower and a whopping 17 percent more power than any competitive ATV in the market. 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
The Outlander 1000 air box 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. 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 screw-on system and push plate that work in tandem to create a tight seal.
CVT transmission with improved cover
The CVT system improves the transmission performance in wet terrain and conditions with its secure, 13-bolt sealing system.
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 is at 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.
Large radiator
The large, efficient radiator offers around 27 kW of cooling capacity to keep the engine running cool for optimal performance.
High-grade exhaust and silencer
The Outlander has a durable end cap/cover on its silencer to contribute to the exhaust’s upper-class appearance. The system
remains true to the Can-Am tradition of producing a throaty and impressive exhaust note, yet adheres to strict dB and emissions
standards.
SST G2 frame
The Outlander 1000 uses the next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame from BRP.
Introduced for the 2012 model year, the welded-steel frame incorporated new processes and exclusive 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 improved frame, engineers incorporated almost 16 percent less parts on the frame than the frames. The frame
is more durable and 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.
Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)
The Can-Am Tri-Mode 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. 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.
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.
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).
Trailing Torsional Independent (TTI) rear suspension Unique to Can-Am and inspired by trophy trucks, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension
offers increased rigidity, improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (23.6 cm) and includes a removable external sway
bar. The TTI, which offers up to 75 percent 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. Lower pivot
points provide geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground as well as a slightly
different feel compared to previous Outlanders.
214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
The 2014 Outlander 1000 family 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.
12-inch (30.5 cm) cast-aluminum wheels
Can-Am designers equipped the Outlander 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 (66cm) tires
Mated to the cast-aluminum wheels are rugged 26-inch (66cm) Carlisle Badlands tires that offer superior performance in a
variety of conditions and terrain.
Standard 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.
Stylish design
The 2014 Outlander 1000 features a modern, cutting-edge styling that projects the image of aggressive sophistication
without losing the recognizable sightlines of the Can-Am brand DNA. Its muscular facade includes a more seamless makeup
and low profile, multi-function cargo racks with a special anti-slide surface. Less apparent fasteners mean a cleaner look.
High-strength multi-function racks with innova tive LinQ system
The high-strength, reinforced composite racks feature an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated ridges for improved
cargo holding. Versatility is enhanced with numerous edges and holes. 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
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 more-convenient location means riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear
cargo rack is loaded.
1,300-pound towing capacity
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment.
Easy access for maintenance
The Can-Am Outlander 1000 has a maintenance-friendly design. The battery is beneath the seat to offer easier access and
improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays are also conveniently located under the seat.
230-watt lighting from headlights
On high beam, the twin 60-watt reflectors and dual 55-watt projectors give the Outlander 230 watts of visual clarity. The
Outlander 1000 family features the most lighting output of any ATV in the industry.
Dual taillights
The taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.
Large fuel tank
The Outlander has a capacity of 5.4 gallons (20.5 liters), which means one can ride longer and work harder.
Multi-function digital gauge
The LCD display 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 prewired
for a winch.
