Rotax 650 V-Twin
Engine// At 60 hp, this 80º V-twin
engine is the most powerful engine below 800cc!
The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power
plant has four valves per cylinder and is
fed by a 46mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡
fuel injectors. The sophisticated electronic
fuel injection system automatically keeps
the 650 engine’s performance at its peak,
regardless of temperature or altitude. The
progressive throttle ensures power is manageable
whether in precise rock crawling or opening
it up on the straights.
Visco-Lok front differential
// 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% with no
rev or speed limiter. All DPS-equipped models
come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving
an even quicker engagement of the front differntial.
Trailing Torsional
Independent (TTI) rear suspension //
Trailing arm design provides excellent control
and stability, especially in rough terrain
by eliminating scrub. Wheels move rearward
as they move up and down producing a smoother
ride than the competition, and the ATV does
not waver down the trail. Plus, TTI has 75%
fewer parts than competitive designs and significantly
decreases tire wear.
Surrounding Spar Technology
(SST™) frame // Rather than the common
tubular box, the SST frame is a single spar
that is lightweight, yet strong. It contributes
to the Outlander model’s benchmark power-to-weight
ratio and low centre of gravity.
Improved front suspension
geometry // Our engineers worked
hard to improve the handling of the front
end by adjusting the geometry of the front
suspension. The result? Lighter steering on
the trail meaning less rider fatigue.
12-inch cast-aluminum wheels //
Lightweight 4 twin spoke design gives an aggressive
and premium look to the Outlander. The new
wheels saves 1.4 pounds of unsprung weight
versus last year’s XT wheel.
26-inch (66cm) Carlisle Badlands radial
tire // Lightweight and great handling
tires for the base model.
Inboard disc brakes // Unique
design both front and rear reduces unsprung
weight and helps centralize masses for more
responsive handling. Also better protects against
mud and debris.
Digitally Encoded Security System
(D.E.S.S.) // Industry’s first
standard anti-theft device. Electronic code
in key must match code in ECU to start.
Front and rear steel racks //
100-pound (45 kg) capacity in front, 200 pounds
(90 kg) in back.
