Rotax 1000 V-Twin engine The 82-horsepower, 80º
976cc V-twin engine is the most
powerful ATV engine in the industry*.
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 for instantaneous
throttle response. With an unprecedented
power-to-weight ratio and electronic
fuel injection, and progressive
throttle control the Rotax engine
is powerful, efficient and smooth
in any situation. And EFI means
the 1000 engine always operates
at its peak, regardless of temperature
or altitude.
New Radiator
The larger, more efficient radiator offers almost
double the cooling capacity than its predecessor
and keeps the engine running cool for optimal
performance. The radiator capacity grew by 14
kW with the engineering updates.
Redesigned Air Box
The Renegade 1000 air box design was reconfigured
and placed at a higher and more centralized
location for filtering and processing air. The
no-tools air box features a dual-room design
that improves the air filtration process and
the quality of air by capturing dirty air in
one portion of the box and clean air in another
section before it sends the air to the engine.
Along with the relocated air box the air intake
is also higher in the frame to improve the machine’s
capabilities in the mud and water. Accessing
the filter for maintenance and inspection only
requires the removal of the seat, console plastic
and exterior push plate. The air filter is securely
attached to the air box housing with a new screw-on
system and push plate that work in tandem to
create a tight seal.
Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers produced a more maintenance-friendly
setup on the new Renegade. 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.
CVT Transmision and new cover
The CVT system was updated to improve the transmission
performance in wet terrain and conditions. The
cover now features a more secure 13-bolt system
for an improved seal. A dedicated drain plug
is built into the cover and easily accessible
if the need ever arises to remove water from
the CVT housing. The CVT intake was repositioned
to a higher location in the chassis for optimal
performance in wet riding conditions. Automatic
transmission with standard engine braking featuring
high, low, park, neutral and reverse is also
included.
Surrounding Spar Technology (SST)
G2 Frame
The Renegade 1000 uses the next generation and
industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology
(SST) chassis from Can-Am. The new welded-steel
SST frame incorporates new processes and updated
geometry for increased structural integrity,
improved durability and precision handling.
The SST design offers also increases strength,
provides a lower center of gravity, improves
handling and requires far less components, materials
and welds than a traditional tube frame. For
2012, the G2 chassis has fewer parts, but is
more durable and offers increased torsional
stiffness to more properly meets the high expectations
of the end user for both work and play.
Visco-Lok front differential
The progressive auto-locking Visco-Lok front
differential is unique to the ATV industry.
The innovative system constantly monitors front
wheel speed and, if it detects one wheel spinning
more quickly than the other, it progressively
sends additional power to the wheel with better
traction. Wheel hop or driveline wind-up is
also eliminated to keep the system transparent
to the operator. It’s also 100 percent
locking, which means no need for either a rev
or speed limiter. Visco-Lok QE (Quicker Engaging)
is available on the Renegade X xc.
