Can-Am Outlander 1000/800R XT ATV

One of the most fun rides at BRP’s Ultimate Playground in Detroit (which continues this weekend, September 22nd through the 25th) was the Can-Am Outlander XT ATV. Myself and other press members took our ATV or side-by-side vehicle of our choice out on the course Can-Am had prepared. Buggying over dirt ramps and dirt-covered logs simulated the un-touched wooded trails these ATVs were made to confront.

The Outlander took each bump and twist smoothly, balancing itself out so that it wouldn’t tip over. This is definitely a ride meant for the extreme trail explorer.

Key features:

  • Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS)
  • Visco-Lok auto-locking front differential
  • 3,000 lb Warn winch
  • 71-hp Rotax 800R/1000R, V-twin, liquid cooled, SOHC, 8-valve(4-valve/cyl)
  • New SST G2 frame
  • Torsional Trailing arm Independent rear suspension (TTI)
  • 5.7 US gal (21.4L) water-resistant storage box
  • Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking
  • Anti-theft system

Everyday I try to exercise my brain and body, and find something new to learn about. I read extensively, write gainfully, and drink massive amounts of tea, seriously. I love many things, especially spending time in nature. I love learning outdoor survival skills and outdoor tips as I write about the topics for OutdoorHub.com. I slowly preparing for two separate extreme outdoor adventures - one to the tip of the earth in Nunavut, Canada where the earth begins to split into glaciers and the other into the wilderness in New Zealand; where cliffs meet the coast. I love traveling and have been to Europe, North America and Asia. My first trip abroad was when I was 5 years-old and my parents brought me from my home country of Poland to New Jersey, USA. We moved to Michigan not long after and I've moved around the state a bit. I spent four years in East Lansing, studying Journalism at Michigan State University all the while photographing and writing for spartanedge.com. In 2010 I moved to Detroit then traveled again to Europe and Asia at the end of that year which sucked me dry of all my money. Currently, I'm working on getting back in the city and establishing my homebase there.
