Can-Am continues to forge ahead with unrivalled performance for 2025, introducing the all-new Outlander 850/1000R and Maverick R MAX X rs SAS
Can-Am, iconic brand of BRP Inc, is pushing the boundaries of performance with the groundbreaking Outlander lineup of all-terrain vehicles (ATV) and the next evolution of performance side-by-sides vehicles (SSV) with the Maverick R MAX X rs SAS.
The Outlander 850 and 1000R take the ATV riding experience to new heights with industry-leading horsepower, increased suspension travel, refined handling and unmistakable Can-Am design. The Maverick R MAX builds upon the success of the Maverick R platform with a new four-seat configuration that allows riders to share the thrill and adventure with family and friends.
“At its core, Can-Am is a brand that is all about pushing the envelope and creating the ultimate experience for every type of rider, from ranchers to outdoor enthusiasts and racers,” says Julie Tourville, director, global marketing, Can-Am Off-Road at BRP.
“Producing over 100hp and touting unmatched suspension, handling, design and technology, the new Outlander models are in a league of their own. We are also continuing to blaze the trail in the SSV category with the introduction of the Maverick R MAX. From adding brawn to your workday, to conquering the desert, to playing in the mud, the Can-Am lineup of ATVs and SSVs is built to do it all.”
2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 and 1000R Engine
This platform pushes peak performance over the top, with a new Rotax engine, giving it industry-leading horsepower and performance. The double-overhead camshaft 999cc V-twin utilises a high-compression ratio with a high-efficiency intake and exhaust, making the Outlander 1000R the first ATV with triple-digit horsepower, at 101hp. The new 1000R boasts the fastest acceleration in the industry. The Outlander 850 also offers impressive power, producing 82hp. Both models include work, standard and sport ride modes, optimising power delivery and performance for the task at hand.
Transmission
The Outlander 850 and 1000R are equipped with an all-new continuously variable transmission (CVT) that delivers smooth power to the ground, consistent shifts, improves torque and reduces maintenance requirements. The latest pDrive primary clutch is paired with a new, dual-roller-driven pulley, offering instant response and rock-solid reliability.
Chassis & suspension
More power and higher speeds require greater suspension and handling capability. Designed for ultimate comfort and stability, the Outlander features a new suspension configuration with wide, arched A-arms front and rear, allowing for enhanced vehicle dynamics, including an improved attack angle for smooth obstacle and ditch crossing. Front suspension travel has increased by 1.6 inches to 10.8 inches, while rear suspension has increased by 2.1 inches to 12 inches of travel, offering superior performance and comfort, along with additional ground clearance to crawl over any obstacle on the trail.
Complementing the updated suspension, the steering geometry is also revised, increasing high-speed stability, steering precision and turning radius. A high-strength steel frame enhances durability and rigidity while decreasing weight. The full-length skidplate provides heavy-duty protection.
The 1000R features a new four-disc system for ultimate braking control. The braking system now offers greater capacity and modulation thanks in part to new metallic brake pads and a new front brake lever with optimised ergonomics.
When it comes to work, the Outlander continues to impress with a class-leading towing capacity of 830 kilograms and a heavy-duty two-inch hitch receiver.
Design & technology
With iconic Can-Am styling, the new Outlander pairs comfortable ergonomics with a tough, trail-ready design. Restyled components include front and rear LED lights with a four-point design, a centralised exhaust with an aluminium muffler tip, new wheel design on select packages, specifically designed XPS tires and integrated front and rear bumpers. A new 10-litre rear LinQ removable storage box and 30 litres of front dropdown storage offer plenty of room for tools and supplies while select packages feature a cell phone storage compartment with a USB charging port.
