Power Corrupts… Again!
There’s nothing like the sheer ridiculous power of a Rotax V-Twin rumbling under the seat. Aboard the Can-Am Outlander Max XT-P, you start to forget youre riding a 2-up ATV and turn all your attention to holding on tight while the pistons fire at each rotation of the crank.
This 800cc engine produces serious power and we mean it. Squeeze the trigger down a fire road and prepare for its arm-stretching jam to launch you to grin-inducing speeds.
One of the highlights of the Max is that it doesn’t feel bulky. You’re not left with the impression youve had to sacrifice something to have the option of carrying a second passenger.
The OL’s natural seating position nestles your butt right in front of the raised passenger seat and you don’t find yourself wriggling or adjusting to find a more comfortable spot.
For an average-sized rider, it’s as close to perfect as youll get. Just sit down, shut up and go. Standing feels equally natural. Handlebar height is spot-on for the average rider and all switchgear is accessible without distracting you from whats up ahead.
Dynamic Power Steering eliminates just about any trail interference that isn’t soaked up by the suspension. Its user-selectable progressive dual mode allows you to choose between a minimum and maximum setting.
Our riders have found the max setting to be just a bit over the top, producing a nervous feeling through tight trail sections. The minimum setting is just about right and since it is progressive, the faster you go, the less assistance the power steering delivers. In this mode there’s still plenty of positive feedback through the handlebars so the rider can react quickly to any kind of trail chatter.
With so much power available at the flick of your thumb, stopping power should be equally impressive. A tempered squeeze of Can-Am’s single lever brake produces ample stoppage.
If you’ve done your homework, you’ve likely noticed that Can-Am’s Renegade features a dual lever hand brake system. We’ve found this system to be excellent and for anyone more comfortable with a dual-lever set-up, it leaves some of us wondering why Can-Am hasn’t implemented this same system across the board, particularly on the higher output Outlanders.
Since the 800 XT-Ps release, Can-Am has had a stranglehold on horsepower with clean, even power delivery all the way along the curve. It seems that each model year this engine sets the bar for everyone else to reach for.

One of the most popular and probably the most practical aftermarket products you can invest in is a new set of tires for your ATV. Even the OEMs realize the value of good rubber and in some instances offer an upgraded tire on “premium” packaged units.
However, if you want to make your current ride look and act like one of these premium models for significantly less than a brand new ATV, you can improve your ride quality and your overall riding experience with a set of new tires from GBC Motorsports.
For avid trail riders, GBC Motorsports has developed the DIRT TAMER tire with a beefy non-directional tread pattern that works amazingly well over all kinds of terrain. The Dirt Tamer bites into terra firma delivering excellent traction over rocky surfaces and when climbing steep slopes. Leaving the rider as sure-footed as a mountain goat.
The Dirt Tamers heavy-duty 6-ply construction resists punctures you might encounter on the trails from sharp rock edges or roots and its tread lugs run deep into the reinforced side-walls so youre assured the best grip over slippery surfaces.
If your current tires just arent grabbing like you think they should or your tires are looking more like inner tubes, investing in new rubber is one way to ensure youll continue to enjoy the trails this season.

John Natalie gave BRP its first AMA ATV Motocross National win when he raced his Team Motoworks / Can-Am DS 450 to the overall Pro-class win at Pleasure Valley Raceway near Armagh, Pennsylvania this past weekend.
Natalie took the holeshot in the first Pro moto and never looked back as he took this win. In the second moto Natalie nearly grabbed another holeshot and finished second. With those two moto results, Natalie took the weekend overall in the class.
“This is a special moment for everyone at BRP,” says Jimmie O’Dell, Racing Manager for Can-Am ATVs at BRP. “That John was able to give BRP its first overall victory at the AMA ATV motocross nationals is only fitting, he has worked hard to bring this moment to the company. And he could never have accomplished it without the amazing dedication shown by the Motoworks organization to put the Can-Am DS 450 on top of the podium.”
The win was made even sweeter as Natalie was able to accomplish it a little more than an hour from his home, so there were plenty of friends and family on hand to witness the win. The win also puts Natalie in third for the overall season championship race in the Pro class.
“I am really proud to give Can-Am their first overall win! I have to thank Can-Am and Motoworks for everything they have done and I couldn’t be happier to give them the win today,” said Natalie “It felt great to be in the lead off the start like that and to run in first place for the whole first moto. I felt good out there and my quad was running perfectly.”
In the amateur classes, Chase Henry, took the weekend overall in the 4-Stroke B class and furthered his lead in the class championship. His brother, Cole, still leads the Production A class after finishing fourth overall for the weekend.
The next round in the AMA ATV Motocross Championship will be July 17-18 at the famed Unadilla Motorsports facility near New Berlin, NY.
