Redesigned double A-arm front suspension
with dive-control geometry
The Renegade retains its race-tested double
A-arm setup, but its suspension travel increased
for 2012. The 2012 model uses five-way preload
HPG 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 inches (22.8 cm). The setup also
inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the
operator by locating the knuckle in the wheel.
Redesigned Trailing Torsional Independent
(TTI) rear suspension
The TTI, which offers 75 percent less moving
parts than competitive systems, was designed
to eliminate scrub and camber changes when the
suspension moves up and down and keep the quad
in straight line. Unique to Can-Am, the proven
Torsional Trailering arm Independent (TTI) rear
suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased
rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3
inches (23.6 cm). 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.
Fox Racing Shox HPG shocks
The standard Renegade 800R wears preload-adjustable
high-pressure gas (HPG) shocks, front and rear,
with a specific calibration to soak up both
high- and low-speed bumps and keep the ride
smooth.
12-inch (30.5cm) cast-aluminum whels
Can-Am designers equipped the revamped Renegade
base model with innovative computer-optimized
wheels that are a first for an ATV manufacturer.
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.
25-inch (66cm) ITP Holeshot ATR tires
A versatile tire for proven, all-around trail
performance.
214mm hydraulic disc brakes
The front setup uses two large 214mm disc brakes
with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping
power. At the rear, the models use two, twin-piston
caliper and 214mm hydraulic disc brakes. The
system also includes separate front and rear
hand brake levers for optimal control.
Enhanced lighting
For improved nighttime clarity and visibility
on the trail, the Renegade 800R comes with 240
watts (4 x 60 w) of lighting power for the most
in the industry. Four projector-type headlights
bring unequaled styling and performance to the
Renegade. The taillights offer a new stylish
design that blends in with the rear plastic
and offers increased visibility for trail riding.
Larger fuel tank
The larger fuel tanks holds 5.4 gallons (20.5
litres) of gas, so you can enjoy more seat time
and explore more trails.
Minor visual updates
The Renegade 800R features a slightly different
appearance without losing its highly recognizable
and attractive looks. The radiator cover, taillights
and wheels were all redesigned to offer a better
look and improved performance.
Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.)
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.
