In Depth: 2016 Can-Am Outlander X mr Family

The Can-Am Outlander X mr family, the largest and most popular mud lineup in the industry, is now bigger and more powerful. The X mr family includes mud-ready ATVs with four different Rotax engine choices. The all-new midsize Outlander L X mr 570 offers a new possibility to play in the mud at an affordable price without compromising performance. This new X mr family member joins the returning X mr 650 and both the power-boosted X mr 850 and X mr 1000R for 2016.

Like all Can-Am big-bore ATVs, the X mr family now includes a one-year (1,500 km/932 miles) break-in service maintenance, which reduces ownership costs. All engine packages also include the revised L gear. No matter the conditions, the X mr family of Can-Am Outlander ATVs delivers proven performance for conquering nasty mud with a  menacing look.

Can-Am Outlander X Mr 1000r

Performance

• 89-hp Rotax V-Twin - The revamped 89-hp, 80 degree 976cc liquid-cooled, eight-valve Rotax V-twin engine in the Outlander X mr 1000R has gained 9 percent more power and leads the ATV industry in performance. Updates include the design of the pistons, a new 54 mm throttle body and a new engine head from the Can-Am Maverick.
• Mud-ready CVT with lower “L” gear range - The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) means no shifting is required. The system includes standard engine braking with High, Low, Park, Neutral and Reverse gears. The CVT housing has 13 bolts to ensure a proper seal and also includes an integrated drain plug. The Outlander X mr family includes an extra low range “L-gear” with a softer engagement and improved throttle control for low-speed riding and better traction in heavy mud.
• Integrated CVT intake and exhaust system - Can-Am has made sure that critical components like the CVT intake and engine intake are located as high as possible on the ATV. The company placed them in the pod directly in front of the handlebars and high above the muddy, wet conditions below.
• Large, relocated radiator - Located on the front rack, the larger radiator on the Can-Am Outlander X mr is kept out of the muddy water and wears a protective, vented cover, ensuring all-day rides in the deep mud.
• Dual-room, no-tools air box - The X mr family of ATVs have its no-tools air box placed at a high and centralized location for filtering and processing air. A dual-room air filtration design captures dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. A higher air intake ensures performance in mud and water.
• 1,300-pound towing capacity - The Outlander X mr offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound (590 kg) towing capacity and a 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment.
• High-grade exhaust and silencer - The X mr ATV has a performance-inspired exhaust system, including and a durable end cap/cover, that produces a throaty and impressive exhaust note, yet adheres to strict dB and emissions standards.

Handling

• Fox Performance Series 1.5 Podium RC2 piggyback adjustable shocks - These high-performance shocks have high- and low-speed compression, rebound and preload adjustments to allow riders the flexibility of tuning the suspension to fit the terrain and riding style. Proven in brutal terrain of a GNCC racing series course, the Fox Performance Series 1.5 Podium RC2 piggyback shocks also enhance the 2016 Outlander X mr 1000R ATV’s handling and performance in challenging conditions.
• Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) - Calibrated specifically for aggressive trail riding and racing, the Tri-Mode DPS system features three modes (MIN, MED and MAX) allowing riders to select the desired amount of steering assist for the terrain and conditions.
• 14-inch (35.6 cm) ITP cast-aluminum wheels - The large, ITP cast-aluminum wheels give the Outlander X mr 1000R an aggressive look.
• 30-inch (76.2 cm) Gorilla Axle Silverback tires - The proven 30-inch Gorilla Axle Silverback tires were chosen for their exceptional mud-riding characteristics. Developed by Gorilla Axle, these tires have been tested in the deepest mud holes in the southern U.S. They have tall lugs and an aggressive tread pattern for superb mud performance.
• SST G2 frame with Geometric Contact Control (59-inch) - The Outlander X mr 1000R uses an industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 frame from BRP and is the lone X mr family member with a 59-inch (150 cm) wheelbase from the Outlander MAX platform. The welded-steel SST frame offers increased structural integrity and handling with fewer parts.
• Torsional Trailing Arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension - Using far less moving parts than competitive systems, TTI is designed to eliminate scrub and camber changes when the suspension works up and down and keeps the quad in a straight line. Unique to Can-Am, the proven Torsional Trailing Arm Independent rear suspension offers increased rigidity and improved suspension travel. This suspension setup also includes a removable external sway bar and lower pivot points for geometric squatting to improve traction and the transferring of power to the ground.
• Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry - The X mr vehicles use a race-proven double A-arm setup. Dive-control geometry tightly controls the roll-center, especially when entering corners. The setup also inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the operator by locating the knuckle in the wheel.
• Visco-Lok QE front differential - The Outlander X mr 1000R models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even quicker engagement of the front differential.
• 214 mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers - Two large 214 mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers up front and a single twin-piston caliper with 214 mm hydraulic disc brake, located in the right, rear wheel, comprise the braking system.
