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, 65.1 lbs.-ft. of torque, 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.

CVT Transmission
For performance in wet conditions and terrain, the CVT system has a 13-bolt sealing system and an integrated drain plug that’s easy to access if the need ever arises to remove water from the CVT housing. The CVT intake is positioned in a high 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.

Large Radiator
The large capacity radiator improves cooling for optimal engine performance during work and play.

High-grade exhaust and silencer
The engine package includes a performance-inspired exhaust system, and a durable end cap/cover contribute to the exhaust’s upper-class appearance. The system remains true to the Can-Am tradition of producing a throaty and impressive exhaust note, yet adheres to strict dB and emissions standards.

Dual-room, no-tools air box
The Renegade 1000 air box 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 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.

Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 Frame
The Renegade 1000 uses the next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 frame introduced in 2012. The welded-steel SST frame offers 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. The SST frame also stronger 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.

Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
The Renegade uses a race-proven double A-arm setup and uses five-way preload HPG shocks. Front-end suspension travel is 9 inches (22.9 cm). Dive-control geometry tightly controls the roll-center, especially when entering corners. The setup also inspires confidence, reducing kickback to the operator by locating the knuckle in the wheel.

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 Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension offers increased rigidity and 9.3 inches (23.6 cm) of travel. A removable external sway bar and lower pivot points improve geometric squatting to improve traction and the transferring of power to the ground.

FOX HPG shocks
The standard Renegade 1000 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.

214mm hydraulic disc brakes
The front setup uses two large 214mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power. Two, twin-piston caliper and 214mm hydraulic disc brakes are in control of the rear end. Separate front and rear hand brake levers are standard equipment.

12-inch (30.5 cm) cast-aluminum wheels
The base Renegade 1000 model has innovative computer-optimized wheel designs. 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
This versatile tire provides proven, all-around trail performance and impressive traction.

Easy access for maintenance
The Renegade ATVs have a maintenance-friendly setup. The battery is 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.

Large fuel tank
The large fuel tank holds 5.4 gallons (20.5 liters) of gas, so you can ride and explore longer.

Full floorboards with kick-ups
The Renegade ATV family wears full floorboards for added protection and coverage from mud, water and debris. The aggressive foot pegs with kick-ups provide solid footing for trail riding.

240 watts of lighting
For improved nighttime clarity and visibility on the trail, the Renegade 1000 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 stylish design that blends in with the rear plastic and offers increased visibility for trail riding.

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.
