2011 Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr

Reno, Nevada, June 8, 2010 – BRP’s 2011 Can-Am ATV line-up features two new ATV models with upgrades to existing models. The Can-Am Outlander 800R X xc and the Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr bring the success of BRP’s X-Package concept to its popular Outlander line of recreational-utility ATVs.

“The expansion of our popular X-Package concept to the Can-Am Outlander 800R is a natural progression as we bring more to the ATV enthusiast,” said Yves Leduc, vice president and general manager, North American division. “Two important customer segments are addressed with these two new models. For the aggressive trail rider and the weekend warrior we have the Outlander 800R X xc and for the mud-riding enthusiast we offer the most complete and advanced mud-specific ATV the industry with the Outlander 800R X mr,” added Leduc.

The Outlander 800R X xc model was developed closely with Can-Am racers and race-team partner companies in the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series. After multiple championships in the GNCC race series BRP has taken valuable feedback from this strenuous form of off-road racing to develop the Outlander X xc ATV. Both the racer and the aggressive trail rider see a direct benefit of the racing experience in this model.

For the mud-riding enthusiast, the Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr represents the most-advanced mud-specific ATV the industry has ever seen. Developed closely with Gorilla Axle, a leading company in mud riding and racing, this ATV has a variety of features that make it the clear choice for the mud rider. At the heart of the machine is the Can-Am-Exclusive Air-Controlled Suspension (ACS™), which allows the rider to adjust the ground clearance of the machine. With ACS, the mud rider no longer has to sacrifice comfort for ground clearance. BRP engineers did not stop there. The radiator has been relocated above the front rack for the ultimate in mud performance and a seamlessly integrated snorkel system places critical intakes to the highest point on the ATV. Finally, the Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr comes equipped with 30-inch Gorilla Axle Silverback tires making it ready to tackle the deepest mud holes.

Can-Am also highlighted changes to its graphics across its ATV line with new color offerings. For 2011, Can-Am has gone to a more streamlined graphic approach across its ATV line and has a new white coloration for its Renegade™ ATV line. Finally, the Outlander XT-P line gets the addition of a sleek silver and black coloration package.

BRP also previewed its 2011 Can-Am ATV accessories line-up and off-road riding collections. Consumers can choose off-road gear based on their riding style and needs, no matter the weather. With lightweight breathable water repellence, race-ready quick-dry mobility, and the Can-Am ST-1 helmet that’s the ultimate quick-change artist, BRP has the Can-Am riding gear to enhance every ride.

The mud rider demands a different kind of performance from his ATV; BRP’s Can-Am Outlander 800R EFI X mr delivers. That is why BRP worked with one of the most famous names in ATV mud performance to develop the Can-Am Outlander X mr: Gorilla Axle. The X mr starts with the longer wheelbase of the Outlander 800R MAX platform for performance in the deepest mud; then adds a host of features specific for the mud rider. The radiator is relocated to the front rack, keeping it high up on the ATV and out of the mud and water. Next the CVT intake, CVT exhaust and engine air intake are located as high in the machine as possible to keep mud and water out of important components to keep the rider going in the toughest conditions. Then Can-Am added a complete air-controlled suspension system allowing the rider to dial in their preferred ride height: high for getting to the mud hole and lower for riding to and from the mud. This means one does not have to sacrifice ride comfort, for the ride height necessary to get through the mud hole. Finally, no mud machine is complete without oversized wheels and mud-specific tires. Can-Am adds premium wheels and 30-inch Gorilla Axle Silverback tires for complete mud performance.

Rotax® 800R EFI V-Twin engine // This 80º V-twin engine is still the most powerful ATV engine in the industry* at 71 HP. The liquid-cooled, single overhead cam power plant has four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 46mm throttle body and two VDO Siemens‡ fuel injectors. The sophisticated electronic fuel injection system automatically keeps the engine’s performance at its peak, regardless of temperature or altitude. The progressive throttle ensures power is manageable whether in precise rock crawling or opening it up on the straights.

Front and rear Air Control Suspension (ACS) // The 2011 Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr comes equipped with an industry-exclusive, air-control suspension. The ACS adjusts both the front and rear high-pressure gas Fox Racing Shox-built suspension to six rider-selectable presets, allowing the rider to increase ride height to its maximum level to aid in crossing mud holes. This means the rider does not have to sacrifice ride comfort for ride height. Simply adjust the pre-load down once maximum height is no longer needed, and the suspension travel returns for trail-riding comfort. An added feature of the ACS system is an air hose from the compressor that can be used to fill tires while out on the trail.

Relocated radiator // The radiator of the Can-Am Outlander X mr ATV is located to the front rack to keep it out of the muddy water, ensuring all-day rides in the deep mud. The radiator features a durable guard to protect it from debris and pivots for access to the Outlander maintenance center.

Integrated snorkel system (ISS) // BRP has made sure that critical components like the CVT intake, CVT exhaust and engine intake are located as high as possible on the ATV. They are positioned in the pod directly in front of the handlebars in a centralized location.

Dual-mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) // The Can-Am DPS system has two modes meaning the rider can choose the amount of assist depending on the conditions. Each DPS-equipped model is fitted with a dual-mode selection for the ultimate in rider control depending on the conditions.

Visco-Lok QE front differential // Progressively transfers power from a slipping front wheel to the gripping one – automatically with no buttons to push or levers to pull. Plus, there’s no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the system is totally transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer. Can lock up to 100 percent with no rev or speed limiter. All DPS-equipped models come with the Visco-Lok QE calibration giving an even quicker engagement of the front differential. This differential, unlike some competitor’s differentials, does not have a speed or rev limiter.

14-inch (35.6 cm) ITP cast-aluminum wheels // Large ITP cast aluminum wheels to give the Outlander X mr an aggressive look. And each features a stylish hubcap with the Gorilla Axle logo.

30-inch (76.2 cm) Gorilla Axle Silverback tires // The ultimate mud machine needs the ultimate tires. That is why Can-Am chose the 30-inch Gorilla Axle Silverback tire. Featuring an aggressive tread pattern designed by Gorilla Axle for mud riding and racing, these tires were developed by Gorilla Axle in the deepest mudholes of east Texas and Louisiana. The tires give mud performance, yet a smooth ride when traveling to the mud hole.

Mud-riding footpegs // The Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr features two sets of footpegs designed for maximum flexibility when one faces multiple riding conditions in the mud. There are raised, aggressive steel footpegs in a more traditional spot. However, when floating the front end up in deep mud holes there are additional racing footrests angled for a ergonomically correct foot position when riding with the front end floated in the mud.

Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension // Trailing arm design provides excellent control and stability, especially in rough terrain by eliminating scrub. Wheels move rearward as they move up and down producing a smoother ride than the competition, and the ATV does not waver down the trail. Plus, TTI has 75% fewer parts than competitive designs and significantly decreases tire wear.

Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame // Rather than the common tubular box, the SST frame is a single spar that is lightweight, yet strong. It contributes to the Outlander model’s benchmark powerto- weight ratio and low centre of gravity.

Inboard disc brakes // Unique design both front and rear reduces unsprung weight and helps centralize masses for more responsive handling. Also better protects against mud and debris.

Handlebar wind deflectors // Color-matched handlebar wind deflectors are a must-have item for aggressive mud riding.

Aluminum taper-profile handlebar with square pad // An aluminum 6061-T6 taper-profile handlebar with square racing pad completes the race-inspired look and feel of the Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr.

More-powerful magneto // The X mr package provides a more-powerful magneto with 650 watts of power output.

Front and rear bumpers // Rugged front and rear bumpers protect this powerful mud machine in the toughest of conditions.

Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.™) // Industry’s first standard anti-theft device. Electronic code in key must match code in ECU to start.

Outlander X mr-specific graphics // BRP outfits the Can-Am Outlander 800R EFI X mr with a sleek black and yellow graphics scheme that looks fast even when sitting still. There is also a premium, embroidered gripper seat cover.
