2012 CanAm
Outlander 1000 EFI
ATV General Features
New styling
The 2012 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. The fit-and-finish
was a major area of focus as engineers
and designers added a more muscular facade
and a more seamless makeup, especially
when integrated with the revamped cargo
racks. Less apparent fasteners mean a
cleaner look.
New high-strength multi-function
racks with innovative LinQ system
The redesigned cargo racks offer more convenience
and improved versatility.. High-strength,
reinforced composite racks replace the tubular
steel setup. The innovative racks feature
an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated
ridges for improved cargo holding. Engineers
also added numerous edges and holes for
use with tie-downs and bungee cords. Additional
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-litre) 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 lbs towing capacity
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound
towing capacity and a new 2-inch receiver
hitch as standard equipment.
Easy access for
maintenance Can-Am engineers produced a more
maintenance-friendly setup on the new Outlander
1000. The battery was relocated beneath
the seat to offer easier access and improved
protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir,
solenoid starter and relays were also placed
conveniently under the seat. 230-watt lighting
from headlights.
Restyled headlights project
Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced
visibility for trail riding and nighttime
use. 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.
New dual taillights
The taillights offer a stylish design and
increased visibility for trail riding.
Larger fuel tank
The new Outlander has 25 percent more fuel
capacity, which means one can ride longer
and work harder. Total capacity is 5.4 gallons
(20.5 litres).
Multi-function digital gauge
The LCD display features a new shape for
an improved fit-and-finish with a new exterior
and updated plastic. The LCD 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 pre-wired for a winch.
