Overview

Introducing the 2012 Can-Am Outlander 1000 XT, a powerhouse in the ATV category that’s designed for both rugged terrains and recreational riding. Priced at approximately $11,950, the Outlander 1000 XT stands out among its competitors by offering an impressive combination of performance, durability, and advanced technology. As part of Can-Am's renowned lineup, this all-terrain vehicle is built to tackle the toughest conditions while providing a thrilling experience for riders who crave adventure. Under the hood, the Outlander 1000 XT boasts a robust 976cc V2 four-stroke engine that churns out a formidable 82 horsepower. This muscle translates into exhilarating acceleration and exceptional torque, making it a delight whether you're navigating steep inclines or cruising through open trails. The automatic gearbox, paired with a shaft drive system, ensures smooth power delivery and effortless handling, allowing riders to focus on the journey ahead rather than the mechanics. Coupled with liquid cooling, this engine remains efficient and reliable, even during extended rides. The Outlander 1000 XT is not just about raw power; it’s also equipped with a host of features that enhance both comfort and control. One standout technology is the Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS), which adjusts steering effort according to speed, providing a light touch at low speeds and increased feedback at higher velocities. The vehicle features a sophisticated suspension system with double A-arms in the front and a Torsional Trailing Arm Independent (TTI) setup in the rear, offering an impressive 9 inches of travel. This allows for superior handling on uneven terrain while ensuring a smooth ride for passengers. Additionally, with a ground clearance of 12 inches and a fuel capacity of over 4 gallons, the Outlander is prepared for long excursions in remote locations. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 82 HP engine delivers exceptional acceleration and torque for conquering diverse terrains.
  • Advanced Suspension: With its TTI rear suspension and front A-arms, riders can enjoy a smooth, stable ride even on rough trails.
  • Dynamic Power Steering: The Tri-Mode DPS enhances maneuverability, making it easier to handle in tight spots.

Cons

  • Weight: At 668 pounds, the Outlander can feel hefty, particularly for inexperienced riders or during tight maneuvers.
  • Price Point: While competitive, the price may be a barrier for some enthusiasts looking for a budget-friendly ATV.
  • Fuel Efficiency: The large displacement engine, while powerful, may not be the most fuel-efficient option for long-distance riding.
