Review of the Can-Am Outlander MAX 1000 LTD 2013 ATV

The Canadian company Bombardier is one of the most popular and reliable manufacturers of ATV vehicles. The undoubted sales leader of the manufacturer and the most popular motor vehicle can be considered the entire line of Outlander ATVs. Can Am Outlander has repeatedly won honorary titles as the most popular ATVs and was the official vehicle of the Olympic Games in America.

Almost all Outlander ATVs are available in at least several trim levels:

• XT.
• XT-P.
• Basic.
• X-MR.

Regardless of configuration and engine power, all models are also divided into utilitarian, sports and touring ATVs. The manufacturer has produced more than 20 series of ATVs throughout its history, but it was the BRP Outlander that was most loved by users, so in recent years mass production has been growing around these models.

Most models with different engine power are updated annually, and as practice has shown, the 2018 Outlander is insignificant, but different from the more recent version. In the fight against direct competitors, designers and engineers work for the client, trying to diversify the series, giving it new shades in appearance and technical equipment.

Typically, models with the LTD designation are indeed, if not exclusive, like suits from the best couturiers, then at least produced in a limited edition and fully equipped “for all occasions.” The Outlander Max 800R LTD is a little different from its previous brothers. First of all, the engine power, which is 71 hp. With. versus 67 that were previously. The engine, as before, is 800 cc with a V-shaped camber of two cylinders. In principle, engines of this design are respected by chopper fans for their high torque and good traction at low speeds.

Of course, the Outlander Max 800R LTD is equipped with a CVT transmission with a well-calibrated CVT designed for high traction. If you follow the technical description, the weight of the trailer that this quad can pull behind itself on a towbar with fully loaded luggage racks and a passenger is 590 kg.

What's new? This year, in addition to a more powerful engine, the Outlander Max 800R LTD is equipped with a new, faster Visko-Lok QE system, which almost instantly reacts to changes in traction on the wheels and automatically turns on the lock. The differential lock is activated without the need to reduce the speed of the quad, that is, as we were driving, we are driving, and the system itself works at the right moment.

The air pressure monitoring system in the suspension elements has been updated (Air Control Suspension). It can change the stiffness of the suspension elements depending on driving conditions. The new Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) system has two positions and provides precise control of the ATV both on the highways and in off-road conditions.

Fans of traveling in the wild will appreciate the new GPS navigator, which is similar in many functions to the car nuvi 500, plus it has good protection from various types of mechanical influences. And finally, new wheels created specifically for the “limited edition” Outlander 800R. Each disc reduces unsprung weight by almost 300 g (compared to last year's discs) and still looks very impressive.

The right 3,000-pound (1,360 kg) winch will get the Outlander Max 800R LTD out of virtually any sticky situation when needed.

In fact there are more updates. These can be obtained from the distributor or dealers.

Today, the Outlander Max 800R LTD automatically turns out to be one of the most “packed” ATVs and at the same time one of the most technologically advanced, if we consider the issue of production, of course.

Experience in operating Outlander ATVs

Without exception, all Outlander ATVs belong to the premium class of motor vehicles. It is not surprising that positive reviews on thematic forums predominate, although a barrage of criticism can also be found. Mostly individual functional or design features are criticized and directly compared with competitors. According to experienced users and owners, most critics evaluate Outlander models subjectively, although negative opinions do exist.

If we put aside the undeniable reliability, then the main subject of discussion among owners remains the possibility of tuning motor vehicles. For owners of the Outlander ATV, the manufacturer has created dozens of various types of upgrades. Each tuning element is very popular and, according to reviews from owners, the most popular ones can be identified:

• Lighting. More than twenty types of original lighting equipment are available to owners of all types of Outlander PDUs. Utilitarian, sports and touring models can be retrofitted with more powerful LED lamps, headlights and lenses. Additional fog lights are also available for sale, so the quality and range of light can be selected individually according to the owner’s requirements.
• Additional protection. The eternal confrontation between the Canadian BRP and the American Polaris forced the manufacturer to create several types of additional protection. Since the Americans are leaders in the production of convenient and thoughtful models in terms of comfort, the creators of BRP decided not to give up their leading position. A full series of protective covers, plastic and metal linings have been developed that can not only protect the driver and passenger from possible injuries, but also make the trip more comfortable by changing the weight of the vehicle.
• Body modernization. Enlarging the hull has always been a key desire of the owners. Discussions among drivers about the possibility of replacing the casing with a new one led to the fact that in 2022 the development of a full-fledged replacement body began, which differs not only in color, but also in more aggressive lines.
• Reinforced winch. Without exception, all BRP Can Am outlanders, including the BRP Can Am outlander 800, are equipped with professional Warn winches, but for true enthusiasts there was always not enough engine power or cable length. That is why the manufacturer makes it possible, when purchasing a vehicle from the dealership, to order additional equipment for the vehicle with a reinforced winch from the older generation model, which is capable of pulling the ATV out of the swamps, even when it is fully loaded.
• Replaceable wheels and tires. Different models of Outlander ATVs can be sold as standard from dealers in the Russian Federation with different types of tires. For example, the true off-road X-MR series have a rougher and deeper tread pattern. Any types of wheels can be ordered from an official representative, although in addition to the classic version of disks and wheels, the manufacturer offers an original track system for driving in swamps or snow. Users liked the ability to choose the type of wheels and tires themselves, and the practice of producing several options was adopted by companies around the world.

Unfortunately, Outlander owners have problems with repairs. Due to the large number of electronics and the complexity of the equipment, not all breakdowns can be repaired independently.

BUY UTILITY ATVS BRP CAN-AM OUTLANDER SERIES

BRP Can-Am Outlander series ATVs are all-terrain vehicles with high functionality and practicality of use, occupying flagship positions in the modern motorcycle market.
The models are equipped with durable Rotax gasoline engines that are capable of developing high torque levels. Thanks to this, riders can confidently storm muddy and bumpy routes, make long-distance throws, and also help with farm chores. BRP Outlander ATVs can be used both for extreme racing and for practical purposes when running a household. For example, the Outlander body can be additionally equipped with blades for removing snow or dry leaves to clean the yard. Oversized trunks allow the driver to place the essentials for transportation.

BRP Outlander ATVs are ideal for tourist cruises, for fishing trips or hunting in the forest, for various expeditions and other forms of active recreation.

The Outlander series is represented by a wide range of ATV models. For example, the MAX line is a two-seater vehicle with maximum travel comfort. The XT series focuses on driver safety, while the XT-R offers extensive equipment and maximum comfort. Models from the 6x6 series have a six-wheel chassis, which makes them more passable and gives them significant load capacity.

Technical features of Outlander ATVs

The company's ATV vehicle lineup includes more than a dozen types of vehicles. They mainly differ in the number of wheels (these are either classic 4x4 all-terrain vehicles or 6x6 tourist vehicles) and engine power. Naturally, when purchasing, one cannot help but notice the presence of additional functions that directly affect traction and cross-country ability.

In the best traditions of creating professional vehicles, the manufacturer has been creating its ATVs based on the Rotax engine for several years in a row. Among the models, the buyer can choose several options, distinguished by power: 450, 570, 650 or 1000 cm3. All of them are created on different frame bases, which made it possible to divide the series into single and double models. In 2022, the Outlander ATV line includes 13 models, including the limited edition Outlander MAX 1000R Limited.

General technical parameters of the models include:

• Rotax engine with smart air cooling system. The V-shaped piston stroke system allows for maximum power, due to which all ATVs have increased cross-country ability in complete off-road conditions.
• The electric starter and variable transmission ensure a comfortable ride, even if this is your first time behind the wheel of an ATV vehicle.
• Disc braking system for 4 or 6 wheels. The ability to switch driving modes on the go allows you to easily overcome steep ascents and descents without fear for the stability of the vehicle.
• Professional shock absorbers for comfortable rides on highways and rocky terrain. Starting in 2022, most of the manufacturer's models are equipped with FOX Performance, which brings the ride comfort of the Outlander series models closer to direct competitors from Polaris.
• Professional fuel supply and injection system. The latest generation injector allows you to save up to 20% fuel, compared to models before 2016. Now, with a full 20-liter tank (for example, in the BRP Outlander 650), you can easily cover 130–150 km with mixed driving.

In general, the Outlander series is a repeated winner of various ATV competitions in various disciplines. The model has some shortcomings, but the manufacturer corrects them with the annual update of the line. Considering the cost of a brand new ATV, the series has no analogues or direct competitors in the Russian market in terms of price-quality ratio.
