500 H.O. ATV V-Twin engine |
Rotax 500 H.O. V-Twin engine –
This 80º V-twin engine is a technical
tour-de-force, and the most powerful
in 500cc class. The liquid-cooled,
single overhead cam mill has four
valves per cylinder and is fed by
a fat 46mm throttle body and two VDO
Siemens fuel injectors. The sophisticated
electronic fuel injection system automatically
keeps the 800H.O. engine’s performance
at its peak regardless of temperature
or altitude. And starting is a snap,
with no choke required. The progressive
throttle ensures the power is manageable
whether in precise rock crawling or
opening it up on the straights.
Improved Visco-Lok front differential
– This Can-Am-exclusive
technology progressively transfers power
from a slipping front wheel to the gripping
one – totally automatically. There
are no buttons to push, no levers to pull,
and makes the Renegade easy to steer when
navigating nasty surfaces. No speed or
rev limiter means it is true all-wheel
drive. The engagement point is quicker
for 2008.
RS-Type front suspension –
Developed with top racers, this double
A-arm set-up delivers precise handling
and control in even the roughest stuff.
8.5 inches (21.6 cm) of travel means great
ride quality. Dive-control geometry tightly
controls the roll-center, especially entering
corners. Aluminum upper A-arm and mounts
reduce weight.
RS-Type TTI rear suspension
– The simplest rear ATV
suspension (75% fewer parts than competitive
designs), with a trailing arm on a single
pivot. TTI ensures zero scrub for a more
stable ride, especially in bumpy terrain.
9 inches (22.9 cm) of race-developed travel
and damping.
Motion Control Shocks –
Gas shocks for a smooth ride
with achine-specific calibration to soak
up both high- and low-speed bumps.
Center-cast aluminum wheels
– Rolled edge rims of rolled
aluminum are mated with sharply-styled
cast aluminum centres – the best
of both worlds.
Holeshot ATR Tires –
Optimal grip, especially in corners, thanks
to a cross-country pattern and six-ply
sidewalls.
Multi-function digital gauge
– Its compact size belies
the large number of features. Easy to
read.
NEW! Separated brakes –
Just like on race bikes for improved
control.
Quad 60W projector beam headlights
– For exceptional nighttime
visibility.
