ATV BRP Renegade: 1000, 800, 570 technical characteristics, reviews

Canadian ATVsCan-Am ATVs

The Renegade 500 Bombardier model combines the qualities of a utilitarian and sports all-terrain vehicle.

It was developed on the new SST G2 platform, and the engine received a 15% increase in power compared to the previous model.

The all-terrain vehicle is characterized by almost intuitive control and reliability.

However, the ATV is available in only one configuration - basic. There aren't even color variations.

Advantages

The technical characteristics of the BRP renegade 1000 XMR are in many ways similar to those of its “younger brother”.
However, there is a significant difference. The design of the ATV is more aggressive. It is equipped with 30-inch wheels, and the ground clearance is already 318 mm, which, combined with a special “mud” tire pattern, provides it with greater cross-country ability compared to the 1000 XXX. The automatic transmission variator is equipped with a switch for high, low and extra low (Extra Low) modes. The engine has a special system for optimal power distribution at medium speeds. Three-mode adjustable FOX shock absorbers, which are installed on this model already in the basic configuration, allow you to quickly adapt the ATV for riding under different conditions and features of the track (recreational mode can be quickly switched to racing mode, and vice versa).

In addition to all that has been said, this ATV is initially equipped with an electric winch from Warn, which provides a towing force of about 1.3 tons (a very useful accessory, especially for trophy raids).

The price for the 1000 XMR model is in the range of 1,540,000-1,620,000 rubles.

Specifications

The lineup includes several well-known models that were re-released in different years. For example, on the Brp Renegade 800, the technical specifications depend on the year of manufacture. But there are also common characteristics of Renegade ATVs.

Chassis and brakes

The standard chassis of these Canadian ATVs consists of two independent suspensions - front (double wishbone) and rear (pendulum). The brakes are also double – hydraulic disc, both front and rear.

Several notable models include the Renegade ATV range

Dimensions and weight

Can-Am Renegade brand models, on average, weigh from 300 to 450 kg. These are relatively small in size, which are ideal for sports ATVs. Compact dimensions allow it to fit well even in sharp turns in off-road conditions.

Transmission

The Renegade range features a continuously variable transmission, meaning the drive shaft is always in the correct gear. This provides an engine braking feature that helps reduce speed when going downhill. The Renegade's CVT also features an improved L-gear with more torque at the wheels and a softer clutch

This is especially important when driving through mud to avoid getting stuck in it.

The Rotax engine powers the Renegade ATVs

Engine

Renegade ATVs are powered by a Rotax engine. This liquid-cooled 80-degree V-twin engine features a new, more aggressive single overhead camshaft that controls four valves per cylinder.

Important! Such a system is sensitive to changes in temperature and altitude. Even under heavy load conditions, this engine produces power without any lag when driving on a straight road or when driving off-road or climbing rocks at low speeds.

Baggage

A sports all-wheel drive ATV is not the most cargo-bearing type of transport: a small conventional trunk between the rear fenders allows you to carry about 16 kg. The optionally available hitch allows towing up to 590kg. There are other luggage options, but if you really need them, consider purchasing the Outlander XT-P or X XC.

Sports ATVs from BRP

BRP currently produces four main models of these machines. The BRP Renegade 1000 is the most powerful among the line of all-terrain vehicles in this category from this manufacturer. Possessing high cross-country ability, they are intended both for sports competitions on the most difficult routes, and for those who like to “ride” in extreme road conditions. Now there are two varieties of this class (1000 cm³) of sports ATVs on the market. They differ not only in appearance and price, but also have some differences in technical characteristics and equipment.

The best sports ATVs

ATVs of this type are designed specifically for off-road racing. They are distinguished by a reliable independent suspension, lightweight body and powerful engine. Sports ATVs are also equipped with safety systems that protect the rider from injury.

The model is suitable for use on light racing tracks, as well as forays into nature. The affordable price makes it extremely attractive for purchase not only by athletes, but also by amateurs.

Advantages of the models

The key feature of the Renegade models is the presence of a liquid-cooled V-engine, combined with a transmission with electronic fuel injection. This combination provides unprecedented power and strength to the ATV. As a result, it literally “flies” through the air and easily overcomes any route.

Important! With the BRP Renegade racing models, you can be confident that it will handle any terrain with ease. This is possible with special high-pressure gas shock absorbers, as well as 5 adjustable load settings

But, of course, this ATV demonstrates maximum results on the road than off-road.

The design features of this sporty all-terrain vehicle model can be enhanced by installing additional equipment and accessories. For example, by installing a reinforced bumper on the Brp Renegade, you can not only give it a “massive” and “serious” appearance, but also improve its performance.

The suspension used in the model range deserves special attention. It is built on an exclusive lightweight frame with Surrounding Spar Technology (SST). A long double-link front suspension helps smooth out road imperfections, while the rear has an independent suspension with torsion arms and dive control levers.

BRP Renegade models can easily overcome any terrain

Attention! One of the coolest things about the Renegade is that it's race-ready out of the box. That is, you can buy it and immediately drive it without additional bells and whistles

If it is intended to be used not for racing, then it is possible to replace the wheels. For example, by installing road wheels on the Brp Renegade 2013, you can safely drive it on the highway. And if necessary, replace them with racing or off-road ones.

Manufacturer and warranty

Brp Renegade all-terrain vehicles are manufactured by Can-Am. This manufacturer has been on the ATV market since the late 1990s. The company's designers and engineers were the first to equip ATVs with TTI rear suspension, offering superior comfort in all conditions thanks to the unique arrangement of two independent pivot points.

And in 2002, it was this company that proposed producing ATV models designed for 2 people (previously this function was only available in utilitarian models).

As for the warranty, the company offers special warranty conditions for most equipment models - the BEST program. The only limitation is that this warranty can only be purchased through authorized dealers in North America.

Aluminum is widely used in the Brp Renegade range of ATVs

Domestic official dealers also have special warranty conditions. All 2007 Brp Renegade ATV models come with a 5-year extended warranty (2 years standard warranty, plus 3 additional years).

Manufacturing materials

Aluminum is used extensively throughout the range (including the wheels), making the range lighter than the iconic Outlander.

The improved coating of Brp Renegade ATVs, starting in 2009, deserves special attention. Owners of the first flagship all-terrain vehicles in the series complained that the coating was not as wear-resistant as they would like for off-road driving or racing. these complaints and wishes, and the new technology uses materials that are tougher, thicker, and more scratch-resistant.

Comfort and equipment

ATVs of the Renegade series are racing models, and therefore require special skills from the driver in high-speed and maneuverable riding. The most powerful model in the series, the Renegade 1000, is not for everyone. Beginner ATV riders are better off starting with less powerful equipment. For example, the Renegade 800R is much more manageable.

Diverse range of Renegade SUVs

The Renegade line of SUVs is diverse, and the equipment of each model differs in composition. For example, the 2022 Brp Renegade 1000 XMR ATV is equipped with a powerful winch with a lifting capacity of 1,361 tons. This is an indispensable “assistant” in off-road conditions, which is capable of pulling the car out of any mud.

For each model it is possible to purchase and install additional spare parts or accessories. For example, the additional spacious brp renegade trunk will allow you to increase the amount of luggage that you can take with you on the road.

The Rotax engine powers the Renegade ATVs

Engine

Renegade ATVs are powered by a Rotax engine. This liquid-cooled 80-degree V-twin engine features a new, more aggressive single overhead camshaft that controls four valves per cylinder.

Equipment

The controls of the Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC are fully consistent with the sporting intent of the Renegade line. True, the legs are spaced a little wider than we would like, but not critical. The seat is soft, transferring weight on it is easy and comfortable, and this is greatly facilitated by the grippy high metal footrests on top of the platforms. They make the seat feel lower than on Outlanders, making it easier to shift your weight laterally in corners, and the additional footpegs allow you to keep your feet securely in mud or snow.

The digital instrument panel is mounted behind the handlebar rather than on it, unlike many 4WD ATVs. This makes it easy to replace the steering wheel; however, the standard variable-section steering wheel is quite good.

Four 60-watt floodlights perfectly illuminate the path at night. Rear lighting includes a 60-watt taillight and brake light.

Video

At the rear, the new rMotion suspension is fully adjustable with HPG Plus/KYB Pro 36 shocks and can be adjusted in just a few minutes without the need for special tools. Brand representatives claim that the rMotion suspension has the greatest travel among analogues. During its development, priority was given to a comfortable ride on uneven surfaces and reliability when jumping. On heavy terrain, the suspension does not break through, and on hard-packed roads it behaves very softly.

The BRP Ski-Doo MXZ Renegade 800R uses a dedicated PowderMax mountain track. Similar elements are installed on Summit mountain snowmobiles. Due to this, the device seriously improves its cross-country ability.

The powerful engine provides the necessary traction to tackle the most challenging tasks. The device gains high speed in a few minutes. The racing braking system allows you not to be afraid of the movement process, making it as safe as possible.

The BRP Ski-Doo MXZ Renegade 800R stands out from other snowmobiles with its stylish design

An interesting combination of colors and an original body make you pay special attention to it

The BRP Ski-Doo MXZ Renegade 800R is a real beast that can wade through large snowdrifts, jump from steep banks onto ice, move over rough terrain and maneuver through the forest. This snowmobile is a dream come true for any consumer.

Engine

The BRP Ski-Doo MXZ Renegade 800R is powered by a reliable Rotax 800 HO Power TEK 2-stroke engine. The unit operates incredibly quietly and smoothly, sounding more like a 4-stroke unit. The engine's smoke emissions and emissions of harmful elements are minimal for this class.

The engine uses modern direct injection, which makes it very economical (average consumption 15 l/100 km). Another advantage of the engine is the ease of starting and the ease of pressing the gas handle. There is no need to prepare the unit for the rest period, since it has an automatic preservation function.

A little about the manufacturer

The Canadian company BRP traces its history back to the late 40s of the last century. Now it is widely known to numerous ATV enthusiasts. Engineers and developers are constantly improving models of all-terrain vehicles for various purposes. The range of manufactured products is incredibly wide: from the compact model for children DS90 (with a 90 cm³ engine) to the multifunctional six-wheeled Outlander 6x6 1000 XT (with a 976 cm3 engine and 82 hp).

Among sports models, the leading place is occupied by the BRP Renegade 1000. When producing ATVs, the company uses the most innovative technical solutions, while not forgetting about comfort and safety. Components for BRP products are supplied by leading manufacturers of units and spare parts for all-terrain vehicles. Just look at the powerful engines from the Austrian company Rotax or customizable shock absorbers from the American Fox.

Estimated cost

A new model can be purchased for $12,500, but some places have lower prices.

But a used unit, with a mileage of 1 thousand km, will cost you only about $9,000.

When choosing an all-terrain vehicle on the Internet, do not forget to ask the driver about breakdowns and accidents .

Even if on the outside it is only a little scratched, this does not mean that everything is so rosy inside.

The Stels ATV 300 V all-terrain vehicle, despite its modest engine and average power, is the sales leader among the Stels model range.
The positive aspect of this reliable ATV is its cost, which is significantly lower than its foreign analogues.

ATV BRP Renegade 1000 XXC

The youngest among the most powerful, it is equipped with a 976 cm³ engine and a power of 89 hp. With. 25-inch wheels provide ground clearance of 305 mm. The combination of a continuously variable automatic transmission, dynamic power steering (with three operating modes) and an automatic front differential lock allows it to provide excellent cross-country ability in any conditions. The fuel tank capacity (20.5 l) is sufficient for a fairly long ride without refueling.

Another distinctive feature of sports ATVs from BRP is the system of additional fastening of the tire sidewall along the entire circumference of the wheel. This design allows you to securely fix the tires even during sharp turns at high speed.

In addition to the standard speedometer and tachometer (arrows), the instrument panel is equipped with a multifunctional liquid crystal digital display. The screen can display a time and distance counter, a fuel level indicator, the number of the gear engaged and the results of the self-diagnosis system.

The speed of 110-120 km/h developed by the BRP Renegade 1000 allows the owner to feel confident not only in off-road conditions, but also when driving on the highway.

Now such an ATV costs 1,319,000-1,490,000 rubles.

Model range and cost

The new 2022 Can-Am Renegade lineup deserves special attention. It includes 7 different models on three platforms with three different engine options. This significant update to the lineup pleases fans of the brand, since in recent years manufacturers have not paid much attention to sports ATVs.

The 2022 Can-Am Renegade lineup deserves special attention

The biggest change for the 2022 Can-Am Renegade is the new Rotax V-Twin engine (the BRP Renegade 1000R features the 976cc engine). Can-Am boasts that this is the most powerful factory ATV engine in history, making up to 91 horsepower.

Interesting! The new engine has intelligent throttle control and three operating modes (Sport, Standard and Work). Sport mode delivers maximum power, torque and throttle response, while the other two modes are calibrated to further smooth out throttle control in performance situations or when navigating challenging terrain.

As for the cost, the price range for premium models is approximately the following: starting from $8,349 for the Renegade 570 model and ending at $13,749 for the 2019 Renegade X XC 1000R ATV.

Brp Renegade ATVs - powerful and maneuverable

Renegade 1000R XMR

A new model, especially for lovers of fast racing with a pleasant “roar of the engine” - brp renegade 1000 xmr 2022 or 2022 model year. This ATV has 91 horsepower, a re-engineered A-Arm suspension, a 54mm throttle body and dual Siemens VDO fuel injectors. All this makes it ready for the most difficult and muddy trails - places less powerful ATVs cannot reach.

Another feature of the brp renegade 1000 xmr is the high-performance FOX PODIUM 1.5 QS3 shock absorbers front and rear.

Using a 3-position knob, the suspension can be adjusted to provide one of 3 riding modes:

smooth and comfortable on the highway;
sports;
racing at maximum power.

Renegade 1000R XMR

650 X XC

The line of ATVs with the abbreviation Xxc was first released in 2010. This abbreviation stands for "X package Cross Country". The models in the series are crossovers that combine all-wheel drive and a “serious” sporty look.

Important! A significant addition to the line is the inclusion of Can-Am's new Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) as standard. This is the same power steering system found on the 2010 Outlander XT and 2010 XTP models.

The DPS is an all-new amp design that offers riders two high and low power options, adjustable on the fly. DPS-MIN – reduction of steering input on high-speed roads. DPS-MAX – increases power consumption when driving on hard roads, mud or rocks.

The 650 X XC is equipped with a powerful Rotax V-engine that produces 59 horsepower with a displacement of 650cc. The ATV is quite compact, but heavy - its weight is 303 kg.

Renegade 650 X XC

1000R X XC

These models feature the same enhancements as the earlier Renegade.

But the Brp Renegade 1000 xxc all-terrain vehicle also has additional functions:

FOX Performance Series 1.5 Podium RC2 adjustable shock absorbers;
12-inch aluminum wheels;
Visco-Lok QE front differential;
aluminum steering wheel with tapered profile.

For lovers of beautiful technology, the brp can am renegade 1000 xxc model has the opportunity to choose seat covers, as well as purchase a quad in one of three colors – black, gray or bright yellow.

Renegade 1000R X XC

570

The ATV with a displacement of 570 cubic meters was re-released several times. The newest model brp renegade 570 X MR was released in 2022. It is equipped with 28-inch ITP Mega Mayhem tires, FOX Podium 1.5 shocks, a Visco-Lok QE front differential system and, of course, the famous Rotax engine. An interesting feature of this technique is the color palette - both standard black and “camouflage” gray and bright yellow.

Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC

Our test Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC came from the factory equipped with a co-branded Yoshimura stainless exhaust that produces no louder than 96dB. It works with stock ECU firmware, but it is recommended to install an additional fuel management system for maximum performance and lower operating temperatures. The exhaust is lighter than standard and is equipped with a spark arrester, which allows, in particular, to drive safely through forests. An Extreme front bumper was also installed.

Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC Engine

The powerful Renegade engine is devoid of cladding and is open to curious glances. The Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC is powered by a 976cc water-cooled, fuel-injected, four-stroke Rotax V-twin with four valves and one overhead cam per cylinder. The automatic transmission (CVT) is equipped with low gear, neutral, reverse and park position, selected by a selector lever with grooves that prevent accidental shifting. The ATV is also standardly equipped with an engine braking function.

In 2022, the Renegade 1000 engine received a knock sensor, which made it possible to automatically optimize the ignition map for different types of fuel and increase power output from 89 to 91 hp. Can Am recommends refueling the Renegade with high-octane (95 or higher) gasoline, but in the life of an all-terrain vehicle, situations are different, so the presence of a knock sensor is a definite plus.

The rear differential, according to the manufacturer, has become 50% stronger due to an increase in size from 143 to 155mm. A switch located on the right console allows you to choose between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive with an automatic locking Visco-Lok QE limited-slip front differential.

The differential is progressively locked in all-wheel drive mode if one of the front wheels begins to slip, and progressively unlocks when traction is restored. Can Am recommends switching drive modes when the engine is at a complete stop and idling.

The cable-operated throttle was replaced in 2022 with electronic throttle Intelligent Throttle Control. A rocker switch on the gas lever allows you to select one of three response modes: Eco, Normal and Sport. Eco (economical or environmentally friendly, as you prefer) reduces the maximum speed to 68 km/h at the maximum lever position, making traction easier to control. Normal mode provides full thrust with smooth control at the beginning of the throttle stroke. Sport mode provides full, sharp, instant response with minimal trigger travel. In all three modes, intelligent throttle control filters out random jerks caused by uneven terrain.

The engine is started using a key with DESS immobilizer. As standard, the all-terrain vehicle is equipped with a “full-function” key, but you can additionally purchase a “normal” key, when used, the Eco mode is forcibly activated, i.e. the maximum speed is limited to 68 km/h, and the traction is softened, which allows a novice driver to drive the all-terrain vehicle in the most relaxed mode.

The Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC engine starts by pressing the starter button, after 10-15 seconds the idle speed drops - and the ATV is ready to go. At any speed, powerful thrust is available, which seems almost endless. The CVT clutch engages clearly and responsively, and the Renegade takes off quickly and easily. For beginners in all-terrain driving, such a character may seem somewhat intimidating, but this model is not intended for completely green beginners, and a small jerk when starting to move on an all-wheel drive all-terrain vehicle will even be useful in conditions where it is not too easy to move off.

Not everyone likes the gas lever - many riders spoke about it with bewilderment, allegedly it was too soft. Others, on the contrary, like the ease of its movement, and in any case, the only question is the sensitivity of the finger, because the clarity of its operation is impeccable. All three traction options are useful in their own way in certain conditions, the only complaint here is that it would be better to install a normal three-position switch, and not juggle the traction modes with a rocker.

Eco traction mode smoothes response and filters out harsh throttle movements on rough terrain. In it, the powerful beast becomes docile, which is especially useful on narrow winding paths. Normal mode provides full throttle with the trigger fully pulled, with smooth low-end thrust. The sports one opens full throttle before the trigger hits the limiter, and almost instantly responds to any opening of the gas at any speed. In this mode, you can clearly feel how powerful the engine is in the Renegade.

At any speed, on any steep incline, the engine responds with ease, adding traction and spinning up with palpable pleasure. The perfect tuning of the CVT provides responsive, controlled traction, but don't be fooled by the Renegade's docile nature: it will easily rear up if you overdo the throttle. It also handles excellently in corners, instantly responding to throttle modulation at any speed. The sporty, responsive nature of the engine and transmission makes it easy to jump, lift the front end, and jerk the gas to get out of a jam.

The Visco-Lok QE all-wheel drive system works great, locking the differential almost instantly in situations where traction is needed on all four wheels. Of course, real off-road aces would love the presence of a manual locking front differential, but on such a fast all-terrain vehicle there are rarely situations in which it might be seriously needed.

Engine braking is well-balanced: there's a clear connection between throttle and driving speed, especially at low speeds, but there's no feeling of an anchor being thrown overboard when you let off the throttle at high speeds.

Overall, the Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC is more powerful than most of us need, but that's what makes it so fun. In addition, the 850 is not so beautifully covered.

Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC Suspensions

Updates for 2022 give the Renegade what it says is industry-leading handling, stability and comfort thanks to new suspensions. The Renegade's track width is now 48 inches (122 cm) thanks to longer A-arms and larger rear torsion arms. At the same time, the height of the center of mass of the ATV was maintained, its height also did not change, and the frame was slightly modified to accommodate the new track width.

The A-arms have been completely redesigned with a wide arc that allows for increased ground clearance, and the front-wheel drive has new boots.

The Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC is equipped with a 13.5mm diameter front stabilizer bar , making the rear stabilizer softer. The purpose of this was to maintain the independent travel of the suspension, increase comfort and at the same time improve weight distribution and grip in corners.

Modifications to the chassis required changing the shock absorber settings. Larger arms provide greater suspension travel, now 9.2 inches (23cm) in front and 9.9 inches (25cm) in rear.

Base versions of the Renegade 850 and 1000 are equipped with Fox Podium 1.5 shock absorbers with preload adjustment. X XC models get Podium 1.5 RC2 racing shocks with a preload adjustment nut, separate fast and slow compression smoothing settings, and rebound smoothing settings. The breadth of available adjustments will take some time to learn and get used to, but it will allow you to tune the suspension to specific terrain and ride faster on uneven terrain, or travel comfortably for days on end.

Dynamic power steering with three operating modes allows you to select the desired level of intervention. In all three modes, the system intervenes more at low speeds, as well as in situations where the driver applies more force to the steering wheel.

All Renegades are equipped with ITP Holeshot ATR tires, 25_8-12 front and 25_10-12 rear. On X XC models, these tires are mounted on cast aluminum beadlock wheels. The tire diameter and rim size are great for aggressive trail riding or racing, but for XC it would be better to have four identical wheels.

The Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC weighs 322kg dry , which is 11kg lighter than the Polaris Scrambler 850 and over 50kg lighter than the Outlander 1000R XT-P or X XC. The Renegade has a ground clearance of 26cm, height of 124cm and seat height of 87cm. Track width - 122cm, wheelbase - 129cm. In all dimensions, it is slightly more compact than its direct competitor, the Polaris Scrambler 850, and outperforms it in terms of power.

The factory suspension settings of the Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC are quite versatile and even allow you to ride at a racing pace, but for everyday driving they should be softened a little. Shock absorbers like to work in a hard rhythm, and on small bumps they are relatively stiff, and under heavy load during fast driving and powerful braking they work better. The main part of the impact is absorbed by the shock absorbers, and only a small echo from the bump reaches the driver. But even at a fairly brisk pace, there is always a feeling of travel reserve in the suspensions and smoothing in the shock absorbers.

Some cross-country racing includes motocross trails, and I was very curious how the Renegade's suspension would handle such abuse. It turned out that he was quite capable of maintaining a good pace, and it rarely broke through the suspension when I was really getting carried away.

The Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC's width and dual sway bars allow it to corner like it's on rails, and even go down hills with minimal body roll. It steers well, but the front end starts to yaw a little when cornering in 2WD. Most serious racers prefer full-time all-wheel drive for better cornering, which is why single wheels are the standard in this discipline. Reducing spring preload and smoothing out slow compression on the front suspension more gently also helps.

Steering feedback is good. The difference in the behavior of the steering wheel in different power modes is noticeable, but small. I usually turn it on to maximum interference and switch to medium if he's clearly overacting. But by and large, one maximum mode would be enough. The steering wheel turns easily without feeling wobbly, conveys terrain without drying out your hands, and the Renegade is arguably equipped with the best power steering in its class.

The standard tires hold up well, but after being pierced by a small and rather dull stick, I don’t really trust them anymore. I'm more optimistic about the ITP Terracross that comes with most Outlander models.

Can Am Renegade 1000R X XC Brakes

The front wheels are equipped with 214 mm brake discs with two-piston calipers on them. At the rear there are single-piston calipers on similar discs. The lines are reinforced with steel, the left brake handle operates in a combined mode, the pedal under the right foot drives only the rear circuit, and the right handle only drives the front circuit. However, in all-wheel drive mode, pressing any of the three brake controls activates both circuits. Modulation and braking power are quite good, the levers are optimally positioned and the pedal is a little high. There is also a parking brake on the steering wheel.
