Outlander 650 MAX ATV Key Features
|
Rotax V-Twin 650
The 80º 650cc liquid-cooled Rotax V-Twin powerplant produces 62 horses of class-leading* power and enough get-up-andgo
to compete with machines with a larger displacement. With an stellar power-to-weight ratio and electronic fuel injection
(46mm throttle body), the single overhead cam engine is as efficient and invigorating. Regardless of temperature or altitude,
EFI ensures optimal performance from the engine at all times.
Despite its impressive performance levels, the eight-valve engine remains controllable and offers useable power for a
wide array of riders and situations. Progressive throttle control means the power remains manageable in slow-speed circumstances
or during a flat-out sprint.
Dual-room, no-tools air box
Like the standard Outlander, the MAX lineup has a dual-room air box design that is 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 screw-on system and
push plate that work in tandem to create a tight seal.
CVT transmission
The CVT system features a more secure 13-bolt system for a better seal and performance in wet conditions. 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.
Larger 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 to 22 kW in size with the engineering updates. Engine side
covers also channel warm air back and away from the rider.
High-grade exhaust and silencer
The engine package includes a
SST G2 frame
The Outlander MAX 650 uses the next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 frame from
BRP. The welded-steel frame incorporates proven processes and geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability
and precision handling. The more efficient SST design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel
chassis, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far less components, materials and welds.
Engineers incorporated fewer parts on the SST G2 MAX than the frames used on previous model-year Outlander MAX ATVs.
The frame is durable and can accept more than two times greater force and has twice the torsional stiffness as the original
MAX chassis. This frame, more properly meets the high expectations of the end user for both work and play. 59-inch Wheelbase The 2014 Outlander MAX 650 (like all MAX models) has an 8-inch longer wheelbase over the standard Outlander. The added
length allows the passenger to sit in front of the rear axle for improved handling and comfort. The stretched design also
improves the ride for single riders.
Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
The front suspension features a dive-control and anti-kickback geometry that positions the pivot points in space
instead of simply adding stiffer shocks and springs. The geometry also inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the
operator by locating the knuckle in the wheel. This front suspension gives the Outlander better ride quality and comfort
without hampering handling.
The 2014 model uses five-way preload 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 (22.9 cm).
Trailing Torsional Independent (TTI) rear suspension
Unique to Can-Am, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased
rigidity and improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (23.6 cm). The TTI, which offers up to 75 percent less moving
parts than competitive systems, was designed to virtually eliminate tire scrub and camber changes when the suspension
moves up and down. This setup improves ride quality and suspension travel, keeps the ATV in a straight line and requires
less steering adjustments than competitive models. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for
improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground as well as a slightly different feel compared to previous Outlander
MAX models.
Visco-Lok front differential
The Visco-Lok system offers a progressive, auto-locking design that is unique to the ATV industry. Riders can simply focus
on riding while letting the smart and fine-tuned Visco-Lok system handle the traction and four-wheel-drive differential lock
duties. 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. It also eliminates wheel hop or driveline
wind-up helping it to remain transparent to the operator. The system offers 100 percent locking without the need for a rev
or speed limiter.
214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers
The 2014 Outlander MAX 650 family offers outboard hydraulic disc brakes. The front setup uses large 214mm disc brakes
with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. At the rear, the models use a single twin-piston caliper and 214mm
hydraulic disc brake that is located in the right, rear wheel.
12-inch (30.5 cm) steel wheels
The Outlander MAX has innovative computer-optimized steel wheels.
26-inch (66 cm) tires
The MAX comes standard with 26-inch (66cm) Carlisle Badlands tires that offer superior performance in a variety of conditions
and terrain.
Standard skid plate
The high-strength skid plate is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to
slide over certain obstacles.
