Visco-Lok† QE (Quicker Engaging) front differential: automatically locks/unlocks both front wheels when needed, allowing me to concentrate on clawing my way out of a murky quagmire rather than deciding whether or not I should lock the differential.
CAN AM COMMANDER TRACK SYSTEM MANUAL

82 Horsepower Rotax Engine: This fuel injected, 976cc V-twin, liquid-cooled, eight-valve, single overhead cam is the most powerful engine available in a production ATV.But with other manufacturers bumping engine size above 800cc, and after the successful launch of the Can Am Commander 1000 Side-by-Side in 2011, it made sense for Can Am to transplant the Commander’s massive 1000cc power plant into a new, mega-bore ATV.Īfter the dust and mud settled, I was left with one impression: the Outlander1000 XT is not only the best ATV Can Am has ever built, it could very well be the litmus test upon which all other ATV’s in the industry are compared. Past Outlander models featured engines ranging from 400 to 800cc. What makes it so good? The updates to the new Outlander 1000 XT are both evolutionary and revolutionary, but the most obvious change is to the engine. The takeaway? This is the best ATV the company has ever produced.

The time spent riding the Outlander gave me a clear perception of how the machine performed in nearly every situation a typical rider would subject it to. Over the last few months, I’ve logged nearly 300 miles testing Can Am’s new Outlander 1000 XT in the rocky, muddy, densely forested terrain of Pennsylvania’s anthracite coal region.
