A new six wheel drive Can-Am Outlander 1000 6x6 XT is to join BRP's extensive utility line-up for 2014, aimed at the farming and forestry sector.
Purpose-built for users who want a workhorse ATV that can handle any situation put in front of it, from dragging heavy cargo over narrow trails to riding on rough terrain, and yet still enjoy the same comfortable ride expected from a Can-Am ATV BRP, the new Outlander 1000 6x6 XT is based on the second generation Generation 2 chassis, Can-Am Outlander ATV platform, which features industry-leading performance with its reliable 82 hp Rotax 1000 V-Twin engine, the Double TTI rear suspension provides this no-compromise utility ATV with precision-engineered handling, comfort and control that is expected from the Outlander ATV range.
The vehicle's six feel drive – power, freedom, confidence, comfort, versatility and modularity – makes the ATV more agile, with its precision-engineered handling and Tri-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS ) means it can get right up to the side of a tree or fence as well as ride faster and with more stability without a trailer on the back, reducing the swaying effect.
Users will also benefit from BRP's exclusive Dual-Level rear cargo box with big flat bed, which has a load capacity of 363kg and can carry anything from round hay bales to logs or heavy equipment. In addition, the front rack on the 6x6 can hold up to 45kg. For those users that require a trailer there is a Can-Am logging trailer that can be purchased separately and will provide an additional 750kg towing capacity.
The Can-Am Outlander 1000 comes with a Visco-Lok, which provides quicker engagement of the front differential, progressively transferring power from a slipping front wheel to the gripping one automatically, without having to push any buttons. There is also no wheel hop or driveline wind-up, as the system is totally transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer, and it can lock up to 100 per cent with no rev or speed limiter.
Additional features include two colour options, light grey and yellow, and a pre-wired rear winch for towing. The D.E.S.S (Digitally Encoded Security System) offers the user peace of mind with its anti-theft key system. It utilises electronic key codes that are required to match each specific ATV's engine control module (ECM). The machine will not start unless the coded microchip in the key matches the pre-installed code. Two keys are included with each model. The performance key allows the ATV to operate at maximum performance while the normal key limits acceleration and top speed.
