Overview

Introducing the 2010 Can-Am Outlander 500 EFI XT—a rugged and versatile ATV that stands out in the off-road market for its combination of power, comfort, and advanced technology. Priced at an accessible US$ 9,299, this model is designed for riders who crave exploration without compromising on performance. Whether you’re tackling muddy trails, rocky terrains, or navigating through dense forests, the Outlander 500 offers the confidence and capability to conquer it all. With its striking color options, including bold red, yellow, and camo, it’s not just a machine; it’s a statement. At the heart of the Outlander 500 is a robust V2, four-stroke engine, boasting a displacement of 499.60 ccm. This engine delivers a smooth and responsive ride, thanks to its four-valve per cylinder configuration and advanced fuel injection system featuring Siemens injectors. The automatic gearbox, paired with a belt-driven final drive, ensures effortless transitions between gears, allowing riders to focus on the adventure ahead. With a liquid-cooling system and a sub-transmission offering high, low, park, neutral, and reverse settings, this ATV excels in providing a dynamic riding experience, whether you’re cruising the trails or tackling steep inclines. The Outlander 500 is also packed with features that enhance both performance and comfort. The McPherson front suspension and TTI independent rear suspension offer generous travel—176 mm at the front and 229 mm at the rear—allowing for a smooth ride over uneven terrain. With a ground clearance of 279 mm and aggressive Carlisle ACT radial tires, you can navigate obstacles with ease. Additional highlights include an electric starter and selectable 2WD/4WD capabilities, complemented by the Visco-lok front differential, ensuring superior traction when it’s needed most. Moreover, the inclusion of a BRP XL3000 winch means you're always prepared for recovery situations, making this ATV a reliable companion on any adventure. **

Pros

  • Impressive Engine Performance: The V2 engine delivers a robust power output, making it suitable for both leisure riding and more challenging terrains.
  • Comfortable Suspension: The advanced suspension system allows for excellent handling and comfort, even on rugged trails.
  • Versatile Traction Control: The selectable 2WD/4WD and Visco-lok differential provide confidence in various riding conditions.

Cons

  • Weight: At 297 kg (654.8 pounds), it may feel heavier compared to some competitors, potentially affecting maneuverability for less experienced riders.
  • Fuel Capacity: While adequate for most rides, the 16.30-litre tank may require more frequent stops on longer excursions.
  • Limited Storage: The Outlander 500 focuses on performance and comfort rather than cargo space, which could be a drawback for those needing to carry more gear.
