The perfor- mance increase includes three ATV engines and a boost in performance in the flagship Maverick 1000R Turbo engine. Along with additional performance, new specialty vehicle packages join the family in 2016, giving Can- Am its most diverse lineup ever. From the affordable, mud-specific Outlander L 570 X mr ATV and new Maverick 1000R TURBO, to the all-new Maverick X rs 1000R TURBO and Mossy Oak Hunting Edition vehicles, Can-Am has vastly expanded its off-road family. On top of that, by improving mainte- nance break-in procedures across the entire Outlander, Renegade and side-by-side vehicle lineups, Can-Am has also given owners peace of mind that they are getting class-leading performance and unmatched reliability. NEW ENGINES & PERFORMANCE Can-Am engineers, through persistent research and development progresses over the last two years, have enhanced 80 percent of the Rotax ATV engine family to reinforce its performance leadership and maintain industry-leading power. Four engines get updated for 2016 — the new 570, 850 and 1000R ATV mills and the revised 131-hp, Rotax 1000R Turbo. 48-HP ROTAX 570 Found in the Out- lander L and Out- lander, the all-new liquid-cooled, eight- valve 570 Rotax, the only V-twin engine in its class, supplies 48 hp to lead the 500-600cc segment. It features larger pistons, longer stroke, a higher connecting rod created a plus-2-hp gain as well as increased low-end torque (plus 9 percent). 78-HP ROTAX 850 The revised 78-hp liquid-cooled V-twin Rotax 850 gained 7 hp for 2016, offering the most performance in its class. The new engine offers 9 percent more power and additional torque (plus 7 percent) and was derived from larger pistons and both a throttle body and engine head from the Can-Am Maverick side- by-side vehicle. 89-HP ROTAX 1000R A revised, liquid-cooled, 976cc, 89-hp Rotax 1000R V-twin engine is the most powerful ATV engine in the Can-Am family and leads the big-bore market in performance. For 2016, the flagship Rotax 1000R has an additional 7 horse- power (9 percent power increase). Can-Am engineers added new pistons and a Can-Am Maverick side-by-side vehicle engine head and throttle body. 131-HP ROTAX 1000R TURBO The industry's most powerful engine has undergone more significant change since its introduction in the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo last year. The first factory-installed tur- bocharger has been revised for 2016 to increase its overall, class-leading performance to 131 hp and enhance its torque curves. Adding larger injectors, increasing boost pressure and reca- librating the CVT are some of the significant updates for the new year. NEW ATV MODELS AND CHANGES Can-Am continues its innovative push as the market leader in the mud-specific market, with the introduction of the all- new Outlander L X mr 570. Making mud riding more affordable than ever, the new Outlander L X mr 570 is based off of the class-leading 1-up Outlander L 570, but includes specialty mud-ready components like 28-inch Maxxis Mudzilla tires, a snor- kel, a relocated radiator and more to help it outperform the competition and stand out in a crowd. OUTLANDER L LE 570 The Outlander L 570 is now offered in an LE package. The Outlander L LE 570 offers key accessories at a value, as opposed to buying all the items separately. Some of the items included are power steering, aluminum wheels, a reinforced seat cover, bumpers, six- ply tires and painted plastic. OUTLANDER L MOSSY OAK HUNTING EDITION The all-new Mossy Oak Hunting Edition is loaded for a successful day in the field with its accessories and exclusive Mossy Oak Break-Up Country Camo pattern. Pur- posely configured with hunters and out- doorsmen in mind, the Mossy Oak edition model includes bumpers, handguards, black aluminum wheels, a Kolpin gun boot, Warn winch, revised suspension preload, skid plate and more. The 2016 Can-Am Outlander L is offered with Mossy Oak's Break-Up Country Camo pattern. See Can-Am, Page 39
