Weekend Warrior: 2014 Can-Am Outlander

2014 Can-Am Outlander: Offers Options & Durability
Can-Am
has built a name
for itself as one of the brands for recreational use. With plenty
of different options for 4x4s and other utility vehicles, the
manufacturer has become a favorite of many avid riders. It should
continue to grow this reputation with the addition of the 2014
Can-Am Outlander. As a rugged machine that is more than ready to
handle all types of terrain, this ATV is posed to make one of the
biggest splashes in the motorsports world this
year.

There are three different engine options that you can choose from
when selecting a 2014 Can-Am Outlander. The first, the 2014
Can-Am Outlander 500, is a V-Twin, liquid-cooled, eight-valve
engine with a displacement of 500 cc. Alternatively, there is also
a similar unit, the Outlander
650, with a displacement of 650 cc and a third option, the
Outlander
800R, with a displacement of 800 cc. All of the motors come
with a CVT transmission that is capable of operating in high, low,
park, neutral and reverse.
It all operates on a Surrounding Spar Technology G2 frame. Made
from welded steel, this frame was designed with efficiency in mind,
which is why riders may notice a slightly new style that
prioritizes durability and structural integrity. Those changes have
led to improved steering and braking, and with the help of 9 inches
of suspension travel, riders will be able to take part in more
aggressive driving without sacrificing comfort or
maneuverability.
Standing Out With The Outlander

While the engine options and framework provide an impressive base
for this Can-Am ATV, it's the smaller touches and details of the
Can-Am
Outlander that cause the machine to stand out. For starters,
it's got an easy setup for maintenance, which makes caring for the
vehicle simple. The battery has been relocated to under the seat,
along with a few other integral parts, to further protect it from
the elements without making it impossible to get to.
The 2014 Can-Am Outlander also comes with plenty of extra features
that are sure to please. A large storage box offers waterproof
protection for 5.7-gallons worth of space and is kept beneath a
rear cargo rack. That makes it easy to get to your
gear even when the rack is loaded with other equipment
or a heavy haul. Add restyled headlights, a cleaner gauge display
and a top-of-the-line security system, and you've got a machine
that is ready to become a leader in its class.
