2015 CanAm Outlander MAX 800 R Features

PERFORMANCE

Rotax V-Twin 800R
The 80º 800Rcc liquid-cooled Rotax V-Twin power plant produces 71 horses of class-leading* power and enough bravado 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 together to create a tight seal.

CVT transmission
The CVT system now 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
A large, efficient 22 kW radiator keeps the engine running cool for optimal performance. Engine side covers also channel warm air back and away from the rider.

High-grade exhaust and silencer
The engine package includes a high-grade exhaust system with a durable end cap/cover. 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.

SST G2 frame
The Can-Am Outlander MAX 800 R uses the industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) G2 frame from BRP. The welded-steel frame incorporated certain processes and proven geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision handling. The more efficient SST design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel frame, a lower center of gravity, better handling and requires far less components, materials and welds. Engineers incorporated almost 16 percent less parts on the frame. The frame is more durable and can accept more than two times greater force and has twice the torsional stiffness as the original chassis. This frame, more properly meets the high expectations of the end user for both work and play.

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 improved ride quality and comfort without hampering handling. 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 and inspired by trophy trucks, the proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension offers increased rigidity, improved suspension travel at 9.3 inches (23.6 cm) and includes a removable external sway bar. The TTI, which offers up to 75 percent less moving parts than competitive systems, was designed to 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. Lower pivot points provide geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.

Visco-Lok front differential
The Visco-Lok front differential 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 2015 Outlander MAX 800 R family features 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) cast-aluminum wheels
Can-Am designers equipped the Outlander with innovative computer-optimized wheels. 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.

26-inch (66cm) tires
Mated to the cast-aluminum wheels are rugged 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.

Dynamic Passenger Comfort (DPC)
The Outlander MAX ATVs have passenger-influenced ergonomics to produce the most comfortable and consumer-friendly tworider vehicle to date. DPC ergonomics means comfortable seating, cushioned ride and placing the passenger in an optimal riding position. The Outlander L MAX models receive the redesign passenger seat. The new lighter design allows for more gradual bending of the backrest and is easier to install / remove (even when the rear rack is loaded). It also includes a new lock with a latch to reduce vibration and improve security. The tall backrest is very supportive and also pivots to help reduce kick back to passenger during acceleration and climbs. Can-Am engineers also added regressive flex to the top and sides to enhance comfort levels. The seat is also angled and formed to provide better “groove,” more overall support and minimize passenger movement in off-road conditions.

Passenger handholds
The angled rear passenger handle position allows for flex while riding and also reduces the overall impact to the passenger’s hands. The handles also allow for numerous hand positions to enhance the passenger’s riding experience and comfort level. For one-up use, the rear seat has integrated handles that don’t limit rear rack space or prohibit single-rider comfort.

Passenger footrest
All MAX models with the G2 SST frame have foot peg angles and depth that cater to the rear passenger. The footrests also have a third row of foot grips to improve lateral grip.

Convertible Rack System (CRS) w/ box
The Outlander MAX is the lone two-up ATV that comes standard with a Convertible Rack System (CRS) for transforming the ATV into a single-rider machine. The transition literally takes just seconds and eliminates the touring look and feel when riding alone. The fact that the passenger handholds are attached to the seat means they don’t inhibit rider movement or take up rear rack space. The CRS system includes a small storage box that uses the LinQ system and removes the void when the passenger seat is removed. A rear optional cargo box is also available from PAC.

High-strength multi -function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system
The MAX 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 the exclusive LinQ quick-attach accessory system, which is adaptable and customizable for various uses and products. There’s a combined rack capacity of 300 pounds (100 front / 200 rear).

Water-resistant rear storage box
An industry exclusive, a huge 5.7-gallon (21.4-liter) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located beneath the rear cargo rack. The Outlander MAX ATV is the only two-up vehicle to offer full rear rack capacity. Riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.

1,300-pound towing capacity
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment.

Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers produced a more maintenance-friendly setup on the Outlander MAX 800R. 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-W lighting from headlights
The MAX headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer better 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.

Dual taillights
The taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.

Large 5.4-gal (20.5 L) Fuel Tank
The Outlander has a total fuel capacity of 5.4 gallons (20.5 liters), which means longer seat time for work and play.

Multi-function digital gauge
The LCD display features a shape for an improved fit-and-finish with a durable exterior and 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)
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.
